Anyone had any experience with repair manual CD sets (TIS, ETK, KDS, ETM)
that are on offer at eBay? Are they any good? I have E21, and I was
wondering if these CD-s are usable for me, as Mobile traditions CD for E21
at dealer is $100, and I could get this CD set at eBay for $20-30.

I bought one -- it wouldn't install on anything buy win98 & was an old copy, not
to mention it was an illegal copy. I complained to ebay & fairly soon the guys
account was disabled soon -- money returned.

buyer beware on those...

I bought a set for my 318ti and after I received them I tried to
install them on my computer, One of the disks I couldn't install.
And I think one or more key disks may be missing. I spent several
hours trying to find things and look up maintenance procedures, etc.
Really poor access routines.I finally just gave up. I think they were
written for Windows 95 or earlier and I think the seller is dumping a
bunch of obsolete items. I suppose we get what we pay for ($20
worth). Hey, you cant hardly have a restaurnat dinner for that.

| Don't think they go back as far as an E21.

Actually I have E30, but taxes here were 180% (not a mistake) for
engines over 1.6 liters so BMW for my country (and Greece I think) put
an 1.6 engine instead of 1.8. Now I think that that engine is from e21.

And some sellers on eBay did indicate that Mobile traditions (for e21
and more) is included.

They also indicate that any Windows is supported (95/98, NT, Me, 2000,
XP).

I bought a set a few years ago and at first couldn't get it to load. I go
it off of ebay. It has a price feature which I never got to work at all,
ever. Eventually, I go it to work after tinkering around and now I use it
all the time to see what BMW would do to fix your car. All said and done,
it is certainly useful if you do a lot of diy stuff. Wish I could get the
"pris" feature to work, though.

I just bought 6 CD set for $17 (including shipping to eastern Europe).
When it gets hire I'll report if it works, and how useful it is.

Can you get it on-line somewhere?

My local dealer (actually there are only two in my state and three in
the country (Serbia & Montenegro) is not very friendly. The one I was
going to from day one when I bought my BMW in 1987 now refuse's to
service my car because I did a LPG conversion.

Price list would be nice so I can make a decision whether to buy
original part from dealer or to look at local wreck yards to see if I
can find used but good one. For instance a new distributor for my car at
dealer is ~£270. A bit too much for a 18 years old car. But some parts
are not so expensive so I can buy new ones. Prices for UK are OK, I can
see price difference for a few parts, and then calculate price for the
part I need.
