How do you install BMW TIS?

I would love to have access to all the information in BMW’s Technical Information System (or TIS) so I can reference it to diagnose and fix things on my car. But I’m confused about where to find it. How do I access BMW TIS on my computer?

Understandable—the system is super helpful for both car owners and technicians. If you were given a disc (aka CD) when you purchased your vehicle, to install
BMW
TIS, follow these instructions:
  • Insert the CD into your computer.
  • From the CD file menu, select WIN95.
  • Select BMW, then select TIS.
  • To start the installation, double-click on the file named SETUP.EXE.
  • When prompted, press Next until you reach the screen that allows you to install Sysadm.
  • Once it’s done installing, select Sysadm Software from your Start menu.
  • On the top left, click TIS, then click Install.
  • Press Next to click through the popups until TIS begins installing.
  • Once installation is complete, select TIS from your start menu to open the system.
If you were not provided a disc when purchasing the vehicle, visit

. From there, you can register for access. You will need to purchase a one-day, one-month, or one-year plan to log in. Plan pricing starts at $30.
