Where to get a service manual (fsm)?

Tried searching in the forum but it doesn't seem to be working - I tried Titles Only with "service manual" but the results do not contain the phrase "service manual" in the title. Weird!

Anyway, anyone know if there is a FSM I can buy/access anywhere? I see Bentley is still publishing for the 3-series and 4-series, but no 2-series? Where can I get access to service instructions?

This is the best place if you don't want to pay for a BMW online subscription: https://www.newtis.info/tisv2/a/en/
BMW doesn't publish any hardcopy manuals anymore.

Alright, thanks for the info. I am really going to miss the days of the paper fsm - it made working on cars stupid easy.

These days it is best to have a laptop and wifi in the garage if you do a lot of work on cars. I have half a dozen different packages on my garage laptop for maintenance and tuning purposes for the 3 cars we currently have in the family, besides access to Internet resources, too.
