Not available for free download (that I know of). Illegal clones of the RepROM or outdated version of the dealer's RSD are sometimes sold on ebay. It's been reported that at least one of the clones was infected with malware.
Your dealer will sell you the RepROM on DVD for about $130. It is updated (online downloads) every so often with changes. It is a serialized windows application, not a PDF file.
If you want hard copy you'll have to wait until Haynes or Clymer come out with one.
Please don't support thieves and criminals by purchasing pirated copies of anything. We all like to save a few $$ but these sc*mbags are ripping off both foreign and domestic intellectual property owners.
In this case I feel fine about it and BMW has been given quite a bit of my money with the two bikes I have bought in the last year. Pretty sure they won't miss the $100 or so.
So I decided to do the right thing and I bought the service manual for the bike from BMW to the tune of $150.00 CDN :frown2:. Fine, it is updatable and all good.....till I get home and insert the CD and find out it is only for a Windows platform. I have always had a Mac and love it.....now what? I called the sales dude and he told me it was not available for OS systems but he will give me a refund. Thanks, but was really hoping to have this on the computer. Either I buy a cheap PC (the Mac gods will hate me forever) or I find a way to get a pirated copy for Mac and that does not sit well with me. What would you do? A cheap PC is about $300.00 + tax, and getting a used one opens me up to whatever viruses or malware it is infected with. Even a used one is about $200.00. Anyone else have a solution for this?

Where did you but the manual. Would not mind having it myself. Like you I am a Mac User but I keep a cheap Windows machine around for just such emergencies.
