BMW TIS no longer available online

I'm sure this is now old news, but does anyone have a link to a good DVD containing the entire BMW repair manuals? Has anyone had good success with the Ebay DVDs?

This was actually discussed in a thread here within the last month or so. People are buying TIS DVDs on eBay.

Do a search and you'll probably find the original thread.

Bought one and it works great

I bought one too, and unfortunately the TIS doesn't work with windows 7 64 bit.. Just be sure you know that, because I didn't know that until after I bought the CD. Fortunately I have an ancient computer with windows XP.

Thanks guys. I ordered on as well. All my tuning laptops are WinXP 32bit anyway simple due to the fact that most ecu programs also have a hard time with 64bit.

If you have win 7 pro 64 bit, you can run XP in a window...

Yeah unfortunately I don't have Win 7 Pro, but win 7 home, so I can't get XP mode. Upgrading to Win 7 Pro might be easier than messing around with my old XP computer.
