F10 M5 Owners Manual PDF?

stealth.pilot · 07-22-2012, 09:16 PM

Can any of the international M5 owners register for the BMW owners portal in their country and download the PDF copy of the 2012 M5 owners manual?

I would love go familiarize myself with the controls in advance.

Ditto. Would love to obsessively read it....

What! hard to believe since you have the car already.

At least you have the actual / physical one right?

Yep - got the physical one with the car. But for the 6 month wait it was killing me and all I wanted was a manual to check out. I was not able to find one.

And although I would love to help fellow forum members the thought of scanning the manual page by page is too much for me to contemplate ....

Yeah it way too much to scan the manual. Is there an owners portal on the Australian BMW website? In the US there is and they normally publish the pdf manual there within 6 months of launch.

Sadly not - our owners portal is way inferior to the US one.

Thanks for thinking about us

Maybe you can just scan the page with the detail of the M modes

That will be awesome.

We don't need the M5 manual for that.

In fact most of the controls are same as the M6 and I have found the PDF version of the M6 manual right here.

Link to 2012 M6 manual (good way to learn new M Mode setup and M Controls)

Link to 2013 BMW manuals(M5 manual will be published here. No cars with new nav have manuals out yet)

Great find, Stealth!

Maybe we can grab it from the car when we pick it up at the welt. Then read it for a month before the car shows up.
