This is just plain wrong. I ordered the TIS CD as listed below and it
works just fine. It has all the BMWs in the last 20 years on it. If you
order both the parts CD and the TIS CD it'll cost you $280 plus shipping.

From the E46M3 FAQ (http://members.roadfly.org/loki/e46m3_faq.html):
>Q: Where can I get an E46 repair manual?
>
>A:For a few years BMW published most of their repair literature on
>microfiche; now it's on CD. To use the CDs, you need an IBM PC compatible.
>The repair manual CD (for E36, E38, E39, and E46) is called the Technical
>Information Systems CD, costs about $110, and contains repair information,
>technical data, torque data, and a complete up-to-date collection of
>bulletins. The repair instructions include instructions for scheduled
>maintenance procedures. They are are overall quite comprehensive and are
>well illustrated, but they do assume basic proficiency. The software

>The software's interface isn't that good, but once you get used to it and
