For $10 you can't go wrong! If anyone ever needs to see anything from it, I can take screenshots for you.

Did you get this yet, or are you still waiting for delivery? Is it a copy or the real disc?

Thanks for the heads up!

Have you already received/used the DVD? Is it legit? does it have the detail found in a Bentley?

jpsimon · 03-04-2009, 10:08 PM

I just ordered it today, I'll let you know when it comes in

That's the BMW TIS. There are copies of this circulating on bittorrent. Only covers to '07 I believe.

jpsimon · 03-04-2009, 10:33 PM

i looked briefly on a few torrent sites but couldn't find anything, so for 10 bux i just grabbed this. I'm mainly interested in the torque specs for a potential fuel pump install

Not sure if it's ok to post torrent links here, but you can find 07/2006 TIS and 08/2007 ETK from there.

If jpsimon could verify which production date you have on your DVD it would be great and if it is newer you need to rip it and make a torrent out of it

I have that kind of a DVD. It is a TIS disk. For $10-15 it is useful, but there is no way you can use it to work on the car "bumper-to-bumper". There are useful things like venting procedure etc. when servicing the cooling system, for example. There are NO wiring diagrams whatsoever (at least I didn't see any).

NM_BMW · 03-05-2009, 01:24 PM

I bought one of these off of Ebay for my Evo and it was EXTREMELY helpful.

I think I'll get this as well. Thanks for the heads up JPSIMON.

SouthCali335 · 03-05-2009, 02:06 PM

It looks cool for $15... I got one.. Thanks for the info JP..

+1. It is not really that useful for working on your car. It's not like getting a repair manual like you see from Haynes or Chilton manual.

jpsimon · 03-05-2009, 02:37 PM

I'm just gearing up for a DIY fuel pump replacement if it ever comes to that (i'm still running strong, but just covering my bases). This will tell me the proper torque specs etc

I just looked quickly, and it does have instructions on replacing the HPFP with all the torque numbers. It also has pictures, but their quality is annoyingly low.

jpsimon · 03-05-2009, 03:05 PM

cool thanks

So who will make a DVD like this in the future then... Support the "vendor" and buy if you like it.

Curious to what version TIS do you have?

It reports as follows:

DVD 07/2006 version
"01 51 9 788 171 En (V1)"
The TIS version 3.4.2 of 18 Feb 2005.

I think it means data from 07/2006 and software is from 18 feb 2005.

shiggy · 03-05-2009, 07:58 PM
