Workshop manual

barryco · 06-25-2025, 04:45 AM

Hi

My first post!

I'm researching buying an E92 and am wondering what optons are available to get access to genuine BMW workshop manuals for general diagnosis, service and repairs of all facets of the car - engine, transmissions, suspension, brakes, bodywork etc?

Thanks

Welcome! You can find repair procedures in ISTA, which should be fairly easy for you to find with some searching.

Thanks.

ISTA seems to be US and Canada only though I'm not sure if they verify that. The alternative they promote for non North America https://aos.bmwgroup.com/ also doesn't have Australia as an option and also requires proof you are a genuine repair workshop.

Looks like there are no BMWs in Oz needing service.

I've seen lots of mentions of ISTA elsewhere so I might try and register and see how I go....
