Does anyone know of an online part catalogue such as the PET Porsche has?:iono:

Maybe this? Or something else?

The PET is a detaled parts catalogue with all the part numbers shown. It is very detailed and used by the dealers to order correct replacement parts.

The E82 and E88 are in the system yet though.

Yes, that is it. Does it take long for the new cars to show up online?

no idea. the E93 (3-series convertible) is not in there yet and that has been out even longer than the E82/E88.

I don't know how that site stays online, since those parts drawings are BMW copyrights.

Mad, it has always mystified me why they guard this so closely. I dont work in the auto industry but my take was if the customers who owned the cars wanted to work on them it would be a tremendous aid to them. They are usually the hard-core enthusiasts and usually brand loyal. Porsche finally got to the point that you could buy the CD from them for roughly $15. It helped the DIY person figure out many element of the car and how to modify for track,etc. Just curious! Bill:iono:
