Free MINI service bulletins no longer available from Alldata

I tried to look up some TSBs from Alldata and could no longer use the links I have. Either they require a subscription now or they have dropped BMW/MINI. It was good while it lasted. Hope that RealOEM.com remains free.

I think it has something to do with some manufacturers campaigning to keep the info away from the public. This thread I started awhile ago links to a couple of articles touching on it:

It seems that if we want to fight it we'll need to get in touch with our elected officials, the NHTSA, and consumer protection agencies to try to fight it.
