BMW tech bulletins. What have you got?

[Kurt in S.A.]

Thanks for info.
I have all the original Service Informations....... only in PDF

Do you have a robust PDF reader, like Acrobat? If so, you can open up a PDF and save it as another type such as JPG...I believe.

I have a free Acrobat PDF reader.
With this free version it's not possible to convert PDF files.

Well, there are other solutions. One is to take a screenshot of the PDF or a portion, open up Windows Paint, paste from the clipboard, then save out as a JPG. Or use something like PowerPoint to stitch together several screenshots, grab all of the stitched items, and paste into Paint. Doable, but a PITA!

Please, how do I attach a PDF file?
Dirk.

Screenshot, snip (shft/windows/s then snip) or phonecam? Then save as jpg.

Dirk,

I am ASSuming you have a PC, but if you have a Mac, their viewing software can re-save any picture as a pdf.

My suggestion would be to upload the lot to a "free" filesharing site, like "4Shared" and then post the address.
Typically, a "free" site will allow you to store a certain amount, and then permit a certain number of gigs to download each month (with more allowed if you pay them). Not perfect, but after a few months, everyone who wants will have had a chance to download a copy.

Don't want to spoil anyones thunder but just about everything you would ever want (except service bulletins) on every model up to 2000 (I believe) is available for free download here... https://www.bmwgroup-classic.com/en/his ... rview.html.

I have now indexed all of the Service Bulletins applicable to airheads (246, 247 and 248) in my collection by model, BMW service group, date and number. Also searchable by subject matter. I now have more than 350 and am seeking to trace any more I can find. I am trying to think of a way to make them generally available but I haven't come up with a viable method as yet. I think there may be in the region of 3000 (guess from bulletin numbering) applicable to airheads so I have a long way to go.

If anyone would like me to search my archive for any specific bulletin, I will be happy to do so.

In 2000 there were 2 CD's with all the Service Informations available.
CD 1.0 Archive (1973-1990) partnumber 01 99 0 022 037 and CD 1.1 (1990-2000) partnumber 01 99 0 022 038.
I don't know if they are still available.

If you have SI's that I don't have, I would be interested in acquiring them to fill the gapes in my collection. My aim is to gather a searchable archive for use by enthusiasts and to produce an HTML based search platform so that the information can be easily found.
