Any substantial difference between 1996 & 1997 service manuals for 60 deg. V4's?

I have a 1996 E90 Ocean Pro...Just wondering if there's any substantial differences in the service manuals between the 1996 and 1997 versions....? Specifically, could I use a 1997 manual to service my motor?

I would expect most things to be the same. Make sure your service manual has your model number, adjusted for the difference in year.

There was a wiring changeover from the big red plug to Deustch connectors, however, I think that happened pre-1996. You might check your motor.
