Imported Cd Information & Prices


 
There
are five cds available for BMWs at present.
 




***Stop Press:  First Orders Sent Out
12th April, now takings further orders.***


1. Etk
Parts Manual 03/2001
 


For those of you not familiar with this item, it
allows you to input your VIN number (or car description if your VIN is not
picked up for some reason) and view ALL parts that are on your car. You can also
view the part numbers, and the quantity of a particular part needed for that
diagram. One of the most useful facilities is the ability to cross reference
parts on different cars (i.e. if a part is present on an E30, you can see if it
is also present on an E36, E46 et.).  This
new version has some updated functions  - you can search graphically through the groups, with many
smaller versions of each diagram appearing at once (this facilitates speedy
location!). There is also now a facility to zoom in on the diagram. 




This cd is new in and is the March 2001 edition, not
January 2001 edition as previously advertised! This is the most current cd you
can buy, and covers all cars, 1974 to 2001 (now including the Convertible E46
M3!).  This cd comes complete with a
price list. It is up to you to install the prices or not. I use them to gauge
roughly what a part will cost. They are current at 16th March, but
are not necessarily relevant to US or UK etc. prices.  


See   http://albums.photopoint.com/j/AlbumIndex?u=1613306&a=12359253 
for screenshots of what this cd can do!
 
 


2.
ETM (Electrical Troubleshooting Manual)


This cd covers the following cars:
 


E30, E36, E31, Z3, E28, E34, E24, E23, E32
for later cars, please see cd 4!



It covers all engines of all the above cars, up to
1998. This cd gives you full wiring diagrams, along with component locations and
troubleshooting. For the more complicated cars, if the individual manual was to
be printed it would run to more than 500 pages! These are the same manuals as
the dealers use, and are very complete in their coverage. A must have for
diagnosing those electrical gremlins or fitting that new part!
 


See http://albums.photopoint.com/j/AlbumIndex?u=1613306&a=12359514
for sample screenshots.
 


3.
TIS (Technical Information System) 03/2001


This is the cd EVERYONE wants! It covers all aspects of
repair and servicing for your car. 


This cd covers the following cars:
 


E30, E36, Z3, E46, E46, E34, E39, E53(X5), E32, E38,
E31, Z8 – for later cars, please see cd 4!


The TIS cd covers:           
Service Information, Repair Instructions, Technical Data, Tightening
Torques, SI Techniques, Parts Bulletin & Special Tools.  


Once again this is the disc that the dealers use to
service and repair your car! It gives you step-by-step instructions, with many
pictures & diagrams, and it far more detailed than any after-market service
manual! 


See http://albums.photopoint.com/j/AlbumIndex?u=1613306&a=12359643
for screenshots! 
 


4.
Technical Documentation Disc (TDD)
 


This is the latest disc
from BMW and contains the TIS information and ETM information for the
following cars:


 
E36
1998 – 2000 model years (all engines)


Z3
Roadster & Coupe 1998 – 2000 model years (all engines)


E46
328i & 323i 1998 – 2000 model years


E39
528i & 540i 1998 – 2000 model years


E38
740iL & 750iL 1998 – 2000 model years


However, the TIS information is not as easy to use as on
the actual TIS disc due to the fact that the TDD program is used through an
Acrobat reader (supplied), and does not have the easy to use menus and interface
that the TIS has. However, the ETMs are complete and each run to about 4/500
pages.  If repair and servicing of
your car is your priority, it is recommended that this disc is bought together
with the TIS disc!   


See http://albums.photopoint.com/j/AlbumIndex?u=1613306&a=12359718

5. Mobile Tradition Parts Catalogue
**SOLD OUT**



This is the Parts Catalogue for older cars and bikes,
and covers:


Isetta, 1500-2000CS, 1502-2002tii, 2500-3.3Li,
2.5CS-3.0CSL, E12, E21, E23, E24, E30, Z1


It has the same functions as the ETK disc above, with
full cross-referencing of parts etc. But it does not have zoom or graphic
search. This cd comes with older price list!
 


N.B.
ALL the above discs are GENUINE ex. Germany cd-roms, NOT BLUE BACKED CD-R
COPIES, and come complete with packaging where appropriate. They run on Windows,
and on stand alone PCs. They do not require special BMW hardware, and have been
tested on Win 95,98se,ME, Win2000. The ideal screen resolution is 1024 x 768.
The cds are MULTI – LANGUAGE, with you choosing at set-up. ALL worldwide BMWs
are covered, and you choose the defaults, but you can always view the full
worldwide catalogue of cars should you wish to. 

 


ORDERING INFORMATION (ORDERS TAKEN NOW!)



“germany direct” is a UK based company, and although most discs are sourced from Germany, they are designed for Worldwide markets.
Part numbers and schematic diagrams are the same in all markets. The cds cover
both left and right hand drive vehicles.


ALL recently released BMW discs have built in copy
protection. This is through the use of a small partioned file that does not get
picked up by cd-burners. The cd-rw drive picks up what it thinks is the end of
the disc and closes the disc to data, without copying the “unlock” file. The
BMW information on this is copy-protection is supplied with the discs, and it does
not affect the usage of the program at all.
It will lock copied programs
however after a preset usage time. I provide this information for those of you
who expect to copy and sell non-original copies. 


Payment in the US is by
Paypal ONLY. This is for YOUR protection, as well as mine!


These discs are severely limited in numbers! They are
available on a first come, first served basis! The only realistic way to process
orders is for you to EMAIL me the attached order form. I will check stock, send
you a confirmation email and send a Paypal money request. Once the Paypal
request is paid, the disc(s) are effectively yours! However, funds will not be
claimed from your Paypal account until the disc(s) ship. Please
bear in mind that due to the popularity of these discs, it may take up to 14
days for delivery!
 


UK orders should be
completed the same way as US orders (by filling in the order form). I will send
payment details with the email confirming stock. UK deliveries are anticipated
at 10 days! 


Non US or UK orders can
be placed the same way and paid for by Paypal if it is available in your
country. If not, an International money order or a SWIFT direct bank transfer is
acceptable.
