With the demise of new-tis and bmw-planet, where is a good site to look up Mini schematics?

 

Try this. Select model and year. It's got a lot of other handy stuff too.

RealOEM is great for all but the newest MINIs. They stopped updating after December 2019.

 

Buy the shop manual. You'll save money over the long run.

 

Thank you all for your great replies..

- realoem has been a mainstay for me for many years, from my '94 325 convertible through the several minis
- fortunately, my newest mini is a '18, so I still use it for all the cars, even the '94 that is now relagated to the 'Classic' section

My need is more for schematics rather than wrenching. I usually do buy the shop manual, or a shop manual, Chiltons, others. But I'm really looking for wiring diagrams.

Right now, I have an issue with the 3rd tail light on a R60 not lighting up. I'm unable to locate a fuse for it or the taillights. The resistor that is indicated in the theads as being faulty or bad soldered looks fine, solder looks good, I'd have to unsolder to test. Another possibility is the wiring in the lift-gate hinge has broken from the years of opening. A schematic would help me locate the fuse -if it is fused- and help me identify the wiring in the hinge.

Thanks again, all. Any recomendations on where to locate schematics would be appreciated.

 

F.Y.I. The factory manual has schematics. You will not find them in a Chilton.

 

Goes to show how closely I watch that website.
