What I love about owning a BMW - RealOEM.com and newTIS.com
Featured on BIMMERPOST.com Then you can use newTIS.com for DIY instructions to top it off. This is why owning a BMW is worth it.

I checked for the hood sound absorber for an '89 E30, still available from BMW. I checked for the sound absorber for an '89 Integra, no longer in stock... I had both cars back in the day. I didn't find a Honda parts site that you enter a partial VIN and get a parts list. Maybe there is one...

I've personally never found any equivalent to realoem & newtis, I always end up calling the dealer to get torque specs since forums are all over the place

Totally agree, until someone decides to pull the plug on our pleasure. Aka copyright cops. I even use it at work because it is so much faster to find the info i need quickly rather than row through all the menus

Not the combination of both; I've not found it.

That's why I went out and found a BMW ISTA crack/software DL. If newTIS goes down I can plug ISTA to my car and have all the same info. It's been longer to load compared to online tho but it's a really good backup.

From lots of brands the parts manuals, workshop manuals and OEM diagnostic software can be had one way or another.
I think the bmw workshop manual is pretty good compared to lots of other brands. The software and parts manuals are equivalent I think to lots of other brands. However that BMW has an official portal (webetk) to the parts manuals (so the realoem equivalent, but then from BMW ag themselves and giving customers access to it), is pretty unique. I havent seen that in another brand. As for parts prices, some bmw parts prices have gone through the roof (increasing a ten fold in ten years for exactly the same part....) but I guess every brand has these excesses.

RealOEM is awesome. It's the same reason I like John Deere. Yes they are expensive, but I can walk into a dealership and they will have parts in stock for a 1960's garden tractor.

I have used bmw since 2016 year and I would like to say that is the best brand car. These cars have one of the most beautiful design and a high quality. I'm really satisfied with it
