Well that sucks - NewTis shutdown!!!
Newtis.info, an amazing resource for anyone working on their BMW was shutdown. Now you must go to BMW's official site and pay (30 dollar day pass, 250 month).
I understand BMW had the legal right to do this but charging 250 a month is insane. Install ISTA+ while you can before they cleanse the internet of it too as all workshop info comes with it. |

Yup, saw that a couple of days ago. I went ahead and purchased an online manual for $15.

I just scanned through it a little bit so can't compare to newtis, whether it's the same or not.

Saw that newtis was shut down the other day and was pretty bummed. I wonder if there is some sort of archive of the site out there somewhere that will pop up soon. Definitely need to find another source for repair info. The prices BMW is trying to charge for access is insane.
Anyone know where the best source to install ista+ is? I did some searching a while back and some of the sites claiming to host the download didn't seem very reputable.

On a side note, I was messing around in ISTA the other day and there's a section that will give you a read out of the fuel quality from your last five fill ups and also for entire life of the car. It does this by recording how noisy the knocks sensors have been. I've been using 4oz of boostane with 91 octane and all my fill ups have recorded in the excellent 96+ octane rating. Kinda cool and handy to check if you were buying a car, it also shows how many times someone used cheap gas in it. |

newtis was a free online version of the shop manual that BMW techs use. Had all the DIY repair info you could ever need to get any job done all the way down to torque specs and photos/diagrams. It is/was an invaluable resource. Really hope a "pirate" version pops up somewhere hosted in country that won't allow BMW to take it down.

Has anyone tried this site and are they truly shop manuals and do they include the M platform?

GO to bimmergeeks website, they have it there under downloads. Its technically ISTA(D) but this is all we need for the E70, its what I have been using for over a year and works perfect. Well worth the time invested to install and learn it, there are powerful diagnostic tools built. For example, I was getting a Vanos code, and part of the troubleshooting was watching in real time how ISTA tested the pressures of the camshaft adjusters with the Vanos solenoids to determine the cause.

Found it for 8.99 from another seller with hundreds of positive reviews. Going to purchase it tonight and will post review up here and if its legit, will post a link to the seller. Even though I have ISTA already on my laptop, it would be nice to load up TIS on a tablet for easy reference.
