Hopefully this link works. Otherwise it's pulling from my cache.

There's really no PDF version unless someone took the time going through all the links.

I tried this with a web scraper on the newtis site before it went down but they have bot detection so my scraped was blocked. Someone would need to do it manually (which I doubt).


Your best option is to get yourself ISTA+ from somewhere and install it on a dedicated windows laptop.

I also believe that you can access the Manual up on the "My BMW" site..

The link to the OM is down now but I do remember it being there...

Just get ISTA, it is the factory service system bmw dealers use.

Here in Japan, user's manual is available in a form of a free iPhone app called "Driver's Guide". We can get access to PDF version as well as video clips and so on via this app.
I hope it is the case for other international regions. Try searching in the App Store, I am not sure if it works though.

You can get the owner's manual usually through iOS apps (probably Android?) and through local BMW portals but that does not give you access to the service manual. We used to be able to access the service manual through newtis.info but that was shutdown by BMW recently since they decided they want to start selling their own access to the manual.

I think your options now are:
  1. Get ISTA, it's the BMW tool that dealerships use and includes the TIS documents. There are other forums where you can get it, it isn't really authorized.
  2. Buy access via BMW, it's expensive and maybe not available to all countries?
  3. Buy access via a different reseller, I'm not familiar with any particular ones but have heard them recommended from YouTube but I'd want to do plenty of due diligence.

The big benefit of ISTA is that if you also get the appropriate cable then you can run service plans for resetting service intervals, brake fluid purge programs etc.

Not just that, they are mostly owner manuals, not service.

Hey guys, I am looking for newtis but then I remembered them shutting it down.

Anyone know where one could find correct tourqe range for the M2 competition? In particuler looking for the 6 bolts under the car for the alu bracket that sits before OPF/2nd cats.

My memory tells me 17nm but thats like very far fetched.
