Hello friends, looking for some help/information.

I have a pair of F54 vehicles which I work on occasionally. One is a 2017 Clubman S All 4 with the 8 speed auto; the other a 2018 Clubman S All 4 with 6 speed manual. I've looked around extensively on the internet and can't find a repair manual worth sand for love or money. Everything keeps pointing to "BMW TIS" as the place to get the factory repair manual, via a subscription (one day, one month, one year). I'm fine with paying for the one day subscription, downloading, and be done with it - the problem being that every link I find to access BMW TIS/North America requires you to 'log in as registered user', but won't allow you to REGISTER as a user.

Any guidance, help, or information would be appreciated. TYIA, happy motoring.

 

I’m also interested in finding the same for my 2019 Mini Clubman S All4 manual.

Did a search the other day and found this download link to buy a service manual on Etsy

anyone use this manual ?

thanks

I personally use factory ISTA and online TIS which has the extact same factory database as ISTA but 100 times easier to access.

If anyone is interested in having access to online TIS , PM me your email address and I can send you an invitation.

Forgot to mention , the invitation is for free

 

I paid for some PDF repair and wiring manuals on ebay. If you search on ebay for "workshop repair manual" for these cars you will find a lot of sellers that offer a PDF download link for ~$10usd. I assume these are just rips from the bmw repair tools, so who knows about the legal aspect of it. Sounds like these are also available on etsy as above.

They aren't the greatest things in the world. They do list step-by-step instructions for every little thing but my one gripe is that they provide torque specs as a table entry, aka "Tightening Torque: 11 42 1AZ". Which means you have to find table 11-42, and then look up torque 1AZ. Flipping a PDF between pages is not all that easy to do. Stll, they usually come with both the repair manual (which covers EVERYTHING, I mean, there is a section in here on step-by-step engine disassembly and replacing the main crankshaft) and a wiring manual (which also covers every last wire in the vehicle, though I find the diagrams difficult to follow).

 

Thanks @reidmefirst. So your description is exactly what I ended up getting from Etsy for a couple more dollars than what you paid.
9003 pages long when downloaded, very comprehensive, frustrating re: torque values as that was one thing I was looking for, really large index that perhaps due to my knowledge of the Mini repairs not that straight forward to us, e.g., my car is at the shop getting a pair of new front strut support mounting brackets as the bearings are grinding... that took me a long time to find. Lots of special tools needed for most work efforts.
