Any service manuals out for the R56 Cooper?

I am a firm follower of the Bentley manual, but it doesn't seem like they have one out for the newer Coopers, just the 2002-2006 MYs. Is there a preferred book you guys have been using in the meantime until Bentley gets their act together and puts out a 2007+ manual?

Thanks!

BMW's manual on DVD is available on eBay (pirated copies, of course). Here's what I wrote previously, in this thread:

This is the BMW TIS service manual. I already had an older version for 1st gen MINI, and this one is expanded to cover R56 and R55 Clubman. Unfortunately the clumsy, awkward user interface hasn't improved at all, but it is a wealth of information on how to assemble/disassemble every part of the vehicle. I recommend it to anyone doing DIY modding. What is doesn't cover is electrical (e.g. wiring diagrams), which is a separate BMW service disc.

When Bentley finally publishes their R56 manual, it will probably be similar to their 1st gen manual, which was information taken almost directly from BMW service discs.
