Hey everyone,

Will be picking up a 535xi at the Welt in February and I'm pretty pumped up about that. I've always worked on all my cars and I have a Q about the BMWTIS website. So if I spend the $30 and get accesss for 24 hours, what can I expect to see? Complete service info/manuals? Can I store some of that on my computer or do I need to get online and drop $30 everytim I'm working on the car?

Thanks!

Luis

Hi Rudy, Everything I can. I perform all the maintenance and repairs for my other vehicles: Audi, Honda, Porsche and Citroen. I plan on keeping this 535 for a long time so all fluids changes and maintenance items initially and eventually repairs. I am pretty anal when it comes to correct procedures and torque wrench settings, etc. I guess I'd like to have as much information as I can... What can you suggest?

It almost seems like a group subscription to the TIS between 15-20 people would make a huge amount of sense...

You might consider: 1) reading the manual when you get it, 2) joining the BMWCCA (see: http://www.bmwcca.org/), and 3) getting BMWCCA's Mike Miller's take on how to maintain your E60 beyond the basics provided by BMWNA. Of course, you didn't provide a location, so perhaps 2 & 3 would be irrelevant.
