real oem down?

[82eye]

i'm getting 503 and 404 errors when trying to connect with realoem. wondering if its finished for good.

I just used it yesterday to get the PN for a couple things. Hopefully it's something they fix soon, but I'm getting a server error now as well.

"isitdown" is calling it maintenance, but begs the question, what will be our source once it does go down permanently.

I get the error screen also. Is there a good alternative

Yeah it's down

You don't realise how much you rely on it till it's not there

This is what I am also worried about...

It added the feature "Buy from ECS" near each part.
I guess it will add "Buy from FCP" soon.

What is the source of realoem.com diagrams/part info?

Presumably once upon a time it must have been from some official BMW dealer software. I know you can download pirated versions of INPA/TIS/NCS Expert and whatever for coding/diagnostics, where do the parts info come from?

I found https://bmwtechinfo.bmwgroup.com/tis...nformation.pdf which suggests it might be in the AIR part of TIS
