I have Ver 3.0 datecode 07/2000. This is the same CD your dealer uses to look up your car and locate parts. It has excellent images
and is useful for just locating part numbers or visualizing how something comes apart or goes together. Covers all current and past BMW
models, even motorcycles! I've taken some screen shots so you can see what it looks like:

Price is $35.00 plus shipping.
I'll accept Paypal or money order.
e-mail me at nelsonsj@mninter.net if interested.

why would someone buy old info when part numbers change like the stock market?those cds change ever month

The $35 is a steal for the late model parts CD.

The Mobil Tridition CD can also be purchased for $35, however it will do you no good if you have a model less than 10 years old.

Prior to the CD there was a microfiche for each model which was updated annually at best. The part numbers on the Microfiche still work.

The part nunbers are superceded and the new part numbers are linked to the original number. Very few if any of the original part numbers are ever discontinued. They just are linked to the new number part number when the item is ordered or you attemped a price check.

The ETK parts CD allow you to print out the parts diagram and list.

Since the CD contain the current models they are great for upgrade possibilities and cross referencing.

I just upgraded my 1/99 parts CD only because I wanted the most current BMW models(E-39, M5, Z8, X5).
