Online ETK - the most important link!

Post by Klaus »

Here is a link to the easiest to use ETK online, just enter the last 7 digits of your VIN or click on the Archive link and drill down by production code or options:

This is not the original Mobile Tradition ETK, this one does not require any registration but is missing a few options (like parts interchange). It is simply the easiest way to look up part number and get a hold of a few diagrams.

Enjoy,

...and for the people who prefer the original

Here is the link to the BMW ETK, complete with all the interchange and availability functions:

Unfortunately registration is required and is quiet complicated if you do not speak German (but you can ask me anytime to translate...).

Looks like BMW is trying to make the ETK a little bit more user friendly.

Here is a new link for the BETA version, hope it stays up and running:
Original BMW Electronic Parts Catalog

Later,

Parts Interchange?

You can enter a part number into RealOEM and it will return a list of all of the BMW Models and years that this part number is used on. Is this different then the BMW Site Parts Interchange?

Looks like the complete parts interchange has been added after I posted the original link in early 2005.
