Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> In the late seventies a new GM shop manual for my first car cost $12. using the coupon that came in the owner's manual. If BMW parts and service info were available from the legitimate channels for a reasonable price then I would have bought my TIS/ ETK/ ETM/ etc. set through them. Else I'm fine with my copied set. For a the cost of a new BMW now, the service info ought to be included, or made available free online, same as Microsoft and many computer industry companies do. For advance info, do charge, as in Technet/ MSDN subscriptions. For what a common consumer might want, it should be available free.

I do applaud them for the Mobile Traditions TIS CDs despite their technical problems (won't run on PCs with >512Mb RAM), and the EBA CD is available at the parts counter for <$10. There IS www.BMWTIS.com available as a subscription service, and my understanding is that you can buy a cable to connect your PC to your car to do certain "programming" functions as well. I've seen folks pull up wiring information up from it, so I assume it includes WDS information as well. I can't vouch for how user-friendly it is, however. From my E46 experience, at least, Bentley manuals are at least as good, if not often better than TIS (which has a lot of box-with-special-procedure-number-that's-not-always-in-the-TIS stuff). And I've even found realoem.com to be useful in a pinch. And for those functions requiring access to a MoDiC/GT1, I hope BIM-COM will make it out of beta at some point after this loooong wait, and be at least as comprehensive and inexpensive as VAG-COM.

I agree with your "ought"s and "should"s. But that's not what they chose to do. The copyright holder gets to decide. Eventually market forces may drive them differently. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 03 Apr 2006 09:31:24 +0000 From: "Gregory Bradbury" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected] Subject: BMW PDC (Park Distance Control) Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Looking for PDC for my E34 touring (sedans have the same system and all parts are the same). Would anyone have a set from a dead car (or a new BMW retrofit kit they haven't used) for sale? Yes I am following ebay and am checking with some of the BMW recyclers that advertise in the Roundel. Answer me directly. There is a set for an E39 for sale on ebay.de (German site), auction number 4627956842.

It was an E36 but I think the same principle applies. You'll still have some fuel in the fuel rail but it's not a lot.
