My Ride: 2007 550i, Titanium Silver/Black, 6-Sp Steptronic, Sport Package, HD Radio, Sirius, Premium Sound, GPS Nav, Cold Pkg, cell phone cradle, iPod through the AUX port
1976 Datsun 280Z, Charcoal/Black, 5-Sp Manual, A/C, American Mags, CD, Tom Tom 930 GPS (works better than the BMW!) and the rest is pretty much stock
Hi! Anyone have an opinion of the BMW shop manuals by Park Place Mercedes found on e-Bay? I have a 2007 550i and want to start collecting good, accurate tech info.

Do you have a link to the auction?
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...0390&rd=1,1
or look for Item 140047080390

The key thing to notice with that auction is the date of the TIS disc. It's dated 1/2005 which is the one that's been around eBay for some time now. Your car is newer so there may be things not on that disc that apply to you. Park Place has been copying these discs and selling them on eBay constantly so don't worry about missing this one auction -- there will be more.
I suppose it all comes down to what tech info you're looking for...you'd be surprised how much of it is already on this site. If you're looking for something specific, post a message in the forums -- many of us already have these discs and might be able to provide you with what you are looking for...

Rudy was right, there is no TIS disc out there newer than 01/2005.
Wiring Diagram Disk was old. Newer version is 8.0 which, I think, includes E90. However, v7.0 is good enough.
