Attached to this message you will find an external link to download an outdated version of the official BMW Technical Information System (TIS) in DVD format, released back in late 2007 for repair and maintenance of BMW and MINI vehicles up to 2008.

In any case, to install it you need:
- Mount the ISO file.
- Run the file "BMW_CD\Win95\BMW\TIS\Setup.exe". It will install and add to your desktop a program called "Sysadm".
- Run the file "BMW_CD\Win95\ODBC_XP\ORACLECLI.MSI". I believe it installs Oracle Client to communicate with the database.
- Open "Sysadm" on your desktop, click the TIS tab and select "Install". Note that you need to select the hard drive install so you don't have to mount the ISO again.
- Once completed, you will be able to open the TIS software from your desktop.
