BMW provides for a rather large fee access to the service manual. Its several hundred a year, or like $30 a day for online access only.

However, you can umm 'find' copies of it, (its call the BMW TIS but be sure its a recent enough edition to include MINIs) on places like ebay for more of the $20-$30 for a CD with all of the stuff on it. Legality of that method of course is suspect at best.

If you search for BMW TIS you'll find more posts about it.

The only problem with the TIS is that it was designed for BMW service technicians only, so naturally it refers to the BMW MoDiC and BMW special service tools quite a lot.

For those of us with no MoDiC or other diagnostic tool ($$$$$$) or no access to BMW service tools, some of it is a bit useless.

I've always wondered if you could order the tools through the BMW dealership parts dept. As far as i can remember, they have part no.'s on the ETK.
