The TIS manual has been posted for sale several times on NAM and on Ebay. To my knowledge, it is *not* available to the public, so whoever is selling it has probably pirated a copy. We have also seen an eBay seller of the TIS manual pose as his own satisfied customer a few times here on NAM.

If it were me, I'd wait until the Bentley Manual is available. You can Pre-order it on Amazon. The Bentley Press has a long history of producing some excellent service manuals in the VW community.

Irrespective of the legal issues pointed out already, the CDs are not very helpful. It is extremely hard to find useful information on them - they are designed for use by MINI techs, not by average people wanting to change their oil or replace some small part.
