This was a link to an 18,000 page repair manual I purchased, that I was going to share with everyone.

I was told I may be breaking laws by sharing it though. Probably best I delete it.

Mods, please delete thread.

LOL.... I'm not sure.

I was told that the owner of the document (an eBay seller) can track how many times the document is downloaded, and if I've shared copyrighted info, I can actually be sued for sharing intellectual property that isn't mine.

However..... if someone has a dropbox that I can upload the doc to, I'll be happy to.

Or.... you can spend $18(ish) dollars on one like I did.

It's a privately created doc... but it's a well-catalogued, 18,000+ page doc that is 1.4GB. For $18... worth every penny:

This seller has been discussed before on these forums.
What he is doing isn't exactly legal either.
He has pirated BMW documents and is making a profit out of selling them.
I just wished he had a set for the X6 G06 as id happily pay $18 dollars for a good set.

Interesting...... I didn't know that.

Even still.... not trying to get into legal trouble, you know?

G05 and G06 almost identical...... it's worth $18.

It is complete, in PDF, and well catalogued with a quick-link table of contents. It's a quality doc.

I actually bought it because I was trying to figure out rear foglight wiring..... and it has "some" info.... but not what I was looking for. I'm stil;l looking though. 18,000 pages is a lot to search

Ha, that's funny as the seller is reproducing copyrighted material from BMW and selling it on e-bay himself.

What would really be funny is if the seller sued you for copyright infringement after you upload the e-book (which the seller stole from BMW) to any sharing platform.
