I can't RTFM

MysticBlue · 09-07-2019, 07:34 PM

M5 ordered, started production last week. While waiting, I would love to be able to read the owner's manual. When I try to download from the BMW NA website, I put my VIN in and it says that manual not available. Is there an alternative way to get access to this? Is it not available because it's too soon in the model year cycle? The wait will be long and excruciating. Perfect time to read through the manual.

Should be able to find it online.

It's not available yet b/c your car just went into production. The content of the manual is based on your VIN...so just give it a little time and it will be available.

Here’s an F90 owner’s Manual pdf that should give you something to read in the meantime.

Go to a dealer site and get the VIN off an M5 they have in stock.
