BMW Tech bulletins on the web?

Are BMW's technical "bulletins" available on the web somewhere?

Specifically interested in those for the E90 of course.

Yep and let's call it E90Fleet and he is right here on this wonderful E90Post.com forum.

I would say that his knowledge and understanding of all things E90 is as close as you will get to the most up to date technical (and other) info on the web - FOR FREE!!!

But no doubt, you have already read his posts.

From BMW

Years of following BMW developments and a few well placed contacts that can pass along some information/documents

But I still only know a small percentage of what there is to know.
These are very complex cars

Yes, they are: www.bmwtis.com. It's a pay site, and you can purchase 24hr subscriptions for $25. I do it every so often to see if my 545 "needs" any repairs.

Correct, but the OP states he is from Northern California.

Actually, the website goes back to Germany, and has some information in German. Are the SIB's that BMW puts out not for worldwide models?

E90Fleet: Well now I understand why you're so "tuned in" to BMW stuff

I'm not having any issues that haven't already been posted around here, except for not being clear as to the "list" if you will, of stuff that the dealer can program the car for....Are there more things than DRL, door locks, and clown-nose light?

Edited to add: Oops...I see somebody has just started a thread on this very subject...

MrB: Thanks for the reference. It would obviously be "handier" if it was N/C....is it VIN-specific??
