This disc captures the raw, un-redacted SIBs from the era. For example, the infamous N62 "valve seal" oil consumption SIB (11 03 07) is present in its original form, before lawyers softened the language.

Let’s address the elephant in the garage. BMW.TIS.12.2007.English.iso is copyrighted material. BMW never released this DVD to the public for free. Dealerships paid a monthly license fee, and independent shops could subscribe to the DVD service for several hundred dollars per year. BMW.TIS.12.2007.English.iso

Today, however, BMW no longer sells or supports this product. The official stance is to use ISTA+. As a result, many communities consider this ISO "abandonware" – software that is no longer commercially supported or sold. Downloading it from file-sharing sites exists in a legal gray area. This disc captures the raw, un-redacted SIBs from the era

If you are a professional shop, you should use a legitimate ISTA+ installation from a licensed source. If you are a hobbyist restoring a 2002, E30, or E46, most forums (Bimmerfest, E46Fanatics, Bimmerforums) accept discussion of the 2007 TIS as a historical tool. Today, however, BMW no longer sells or supports this product

Once installed, launch the program (usually via a desktop icon or TIS.exe in the installation folder).
