I had storage issues and can't upgrade my MacBook so i just bought a 512gb flash drive and he loaded it on the drive. They sell laptops too loaded with the software. I read more about the storage needs, might have to get a new laptop to perform this installation. Great idea, I will search this eBay seller and ask about system requirements. I've done it before and it went very well.
NEW TIS BMW ONLINE INSTALL
You could go on eBay and find sellers that will install it for a fee. Does anyone know where I can get it preloaded and ready to go? I know there are links and tutorials for downloading ISTA and all but I'm not a computer wiz when comes to zipping and unzipping files and what not. Second configuring it was a pain, and third to download it it goes through mega, which if you have an account you download pretty easily but if you don't it only let's you download ~10gigs every 5 hours. first it uses the entire storage space on my laptop, I believe its 480 gigs. I use ista and it does have manuals, in fact I believe the ones on newtis are from ista, I will look into where I got mine from but it is a process to setup and use. Let's show BMW that this shutdown won't affect our passion!!!
NEW TIS BMW ONLINE MANUALS
If you use ISTA successfully or have helpful links to software downloads, manuals and DIYs, please share with us! There's tons of information about ISTA out there, but I'm a newbie and intend to make this our learning platform. I learned that Rheingold/ISTA offers manuals as well, plus it will allow you to perform certain maintenance tasks, like opening the emergency brake motor mechanism on the rear brake, etc. I have used newtis countless times and I'm upset now, but supposedly there are alternatives. Nonetheless, there are technically inclined enthusiasts, just having fun working on their cars and performing maintenance on their own. I totally understand that dealerships need to make money, most customers use professional support anyway.

BMW Corporate requested the full shutdown of a helpful DIY source, !
