This IDC supersedes S.I. 10 03 96 dated December 1996 which should be removed and discarded from your IDC binder.

SUBJECT:
Updated TIS Software - 12/96

MODEL:
ALL

Situation:

TIS software dated 12/96 now includes the following:

^ E39 540i Self Adjusting Clutch - SAC

^ The E36/Z3 2.8 liter repair manual has been updated.

^ Service Information bulletins for all models from 1988, plus all recall information.

^ In the Administration screen there is a button called "KDS". The intent of this button is to allow the operator to download the latest wheel alignment specifications onto a floppy disc. The disc may then be loaded into the Hunter KDS alignment machine.

NOTES:

1. At this time this function will not work with Hunter Alignment equipment. When operation has been established you will be notified.

2. TIS CD 12/96 does not contain wheel alignment data for the Z3 2.8 L.

The only difference between the 1.9 L and the 2.8 L wheel alignment settings is the rear axle toe. The correct information is:

20' +/- 13' (minutes)

.334 +/- .217 (decimal degrees)

^ Technical Data and Tightening Torque's from 1988 for E31, E32, E34, E36, E38, E39.
