newTIS.info shutdown?

HalfAnP · 10-08-2020, 05:11 PM

Hey Folks,

Just noticed today that NewTIS.info had succumbed to a copyright takedown by BMW AG. Just about to replace my HPFP and I think I got what I needed but what if I didn't? Anyone have any other resources for manuals?

DMs welcome!

It's never ending corporate greed.

Thanks for the note, this is a drag; I used that site for umpteen years when working on my cars, bummer

The subscription prices for bwmtis.com are pretty high for occasional hobbyists too. I think all of that is built into ISTA, but getting that installed can also be a high bar.

well this is sad news

You're right, $30 for 24 hours is straight up robbery. I also found that ISTA does in fact have a lot of that technical info built in so for this job I think I'll be ok.

I'm sure someone will come up with a different way. Its why sailing is never going to go away.

I remember seeing in some forums link to download the latest TIS.iso installation disk for offline viewing.

That really sucks I really like newTIS, I have ISTA but every time I want to search something it takes ages to get a result back.
