This process is NOT documented for the F10 M5 (at least not in the online version of the manual) and I can't confirm it right now as the car is in hibernation

But here you go :

* Removed the shifter boot is to gain access to the release mechanism.
• Using the screw driver from the vehicle tool kit or (similar tool), unclip the release mechanism cover.
• Insert the screw driver/tool in the release mechanism to the left of the shifter.
• Move the release toward the rear of the vehicle and observe the shifter indicator light illuminate the “N” position
