Once BMW went to digital service manuals (aka "TIS") Bently stopped copying them in book form. At least that is my impression


The links above are for the older X5 (E53)...nothing on the E70 or F15 versions... (although i havent checked recently...)


Agree the learning curve on newtis is steep. And there is nothing like a dog earred, grease stained book with post-its and hand written notes.
