Tool Tips Directory

Bulletin Number 04 15 89 (1874)
Woodcliff Lake, NJ June 1989 Technical Dept.
SUBJECT: Tool Tips Directory

Tool Tips has been developed to save the BMW service technician repair time. The concept of Tool Tips involves a repair where there is no BMW Special Tool, but a slightly modified over-the-counter tool makes the repair easier. Tool Tip Service Information bulletins will be easy to recognize by their blue color.

This directory will be perpetually updated with Tool Tips information.

Technicians with ideas for Tool Tips should submit them via a Quality Control Information ("pink") Sheet. To more easily recognize a tool tip "pink" sheet the technician should write "TOOL TIP" in large letters at the top of the problem description section.

Please Note: The first technician to send in a Tool -Tips "pink" sheet (that results in a Tool Tips Service Information Bulletin) shall receive a $30.00 SNAP ON" Tool gift certificate.
