I think it is good, so I have ordered one, look at his feedback it's all good , he is selling car manuals all the time
anyway £ 4 is very good value, let you all know when I get it and if it's any good.

That sounds like a copy of the TIS. I bought the full TIS for my M as well, quite useful in finding out bits and pieces.

My three discs arrived today and it isTIS I must say the above quote sums it up, is it worth having, YES for £4 :)
A complicated loading procedure ( make sure you read the instructions that come with the discs) :roll:
Once it was working you must select your model from the list, engine type, year of manufacture, there were lots of other models on the disc as well.
navigation through the different menus to find what you're looking for (unusual from a normal Windows system) after 40 minutes or so I got the hang of it :?
I have not looked at the disc 2 parts or 3 wiring as I'm very busy with other things, I will look again when I have more time or a problem with the X5
I did find a lot of useful information though I couldn't find anything about the turbo :headbang: maybe I wasn't looking for long enough.
