I am not sure if anyone else had used that website as a reference, but https://www.newtis.info seems to have been shut down by order of BMW.

 

This is BS...Not only the brand sucks, but now the only good thing going on for us is shut down.

Yes that stink, i hope it comes back. I have a Bentley manual as back up but the tis showed all the extra DIYs

This is the other site but it only goes to R50-R60. https://workshop-manuals.com/mini/

 

"BMW violates the right to repair by effectively locking out individual consumers from basic repair information through unreasonably high access fees"

 

There are too many of us doing DIY's based on the NewTis data, and that's hurting their service shop's quota badly. It's the only right thing to do on their accord to stop the bleeding.

Fear not, we will just need to unite and share as much DIY's as we can in this forum and they just simply cannot shut us down and try to collect hefty fees on our own material.

 

There are more than one of us with offline versions...

 

Would you be willing to point out how we can source the offline version, too?

 

Check youtube for offline tis and see what you find

 

As it turns out, I have ISTA-D and this whole NewTIS suite is all there. Just realized it over the weekend so I'm set. But thanks for the tip though.

 

Can you post a link for a legitimate
source for ISTA D?

 

I actually bought a whole iCOM/Most/Laptop set from some eBay source, and it comes with all of ISTA-D, ISTA-P, NCS,WINKFP, etc.. I don't even think what I got is legitimate, it's some sort of hacked version with the Chinese made module. It works though, I've tried it out over the weekend and realized with ISTA-D's maintenance interface, it's actually pulling out all of the reference that I'd see in newTIS.

 

Anybody found a web archive / copy? I found a download of the TIS file, but don't really want to figure out how to install the thing on my mac. Please PM me if you've got the goods!

 

This really sucks. newTIS was my go to for torque values, and it made it easy to link tasks that needed to be done in sequence for certain repairs.

I found an offline install package, too, but it claims to need Windows XP to install... Can’t get it to load on my Windows 10 machine.

 

If you have Hyper-V in your version of Windows 10, then use it to create/install/boot a virtual machine of Windows XP.

 

I’ll look into that, thanks.

I also have a Windows installer on my MacBook, so I’ll eventually check that out too.

 

You can also download virtual box for free and then run it as a win7 machine. This is what I do.

 

It's not just BMW/MINI, Ford does the same thing with requiring the subscription. BMW/MIN also shutdown realoem access on newer cars by changing how dealers get their parts program, it's no longer a disc that dealer(s) were sharing with realoem against their licensing agreement.

 

I noticed RealOEM only goes up to 12/2019 for F56 JCW... is this the reason why? or maybe it just hasn't been updated as there are no effective changes in 2020/2021? Although the recent re-availability for Getrag 6 speed comes to mind. That said, the GS6-59SG trans is shown on a 12/19 sample in RealOEM so I don't know what's what.

 

In my search for a solution, I happened to see that Haynes came out with their manual, at some point last year. Got a copy from Amazon for like $23. It's really pretty good. Requires a lot of jumping around: "for removal see section 2.2". "torque to the specified value"- they really can't be bothered to just list the specified value, I gotta flip back a few pages and find it in the chart. But there is a chart, and that's great. Also a little bit of color commentary: "mini insists that the gasket be replaced, even if it's in good condition".

Anyway, seems pretty complete and I'm happy now. I don't foresee spending any more time or money looking for the TIS.

 

OMG ... a positive comment for the Haynes .... I gave up mentioning it as every time I did I got slammed ....

you can buy the book

or 1 year online access to their info ....

Haynes doesn't offer a manual for the F5X cars, though.

 

They do now:

Mini Petrol & Diesel 2014 2018

 

Interesting. It’s not on the Haynes website.

 

Had no idea newtis was shutdown until today. Thank goodness I have my mods all done.
