Well........there seems to be as many M5 owners on here as there is anywhere else.....LOL

While I was in America, I managed to get hold of a VERY RARE document.....The Technical Training Manual for the E39 M5. This 52 page manual was issued to BMW technicians who had attended the relevant training to work on the E39 M5, and contains some very useful and technical information. It is not like a Haynes Manual, it doesn't tell you how to remove the cover to whatever your trying to get at, as a BMW Technician, you would be expected to know the basics, but covers mainly the testing procedures for evaluating fault findings. This document was kept "In House" by BMW and was not to be issued to the general public. Of course, someone somewhere got hold of one of these Training Manuals and there are a few around, but very rare in public hands. I managed to get hold of two copies.....one of which is still sealed. If someone who I could trust to send a coply too.....who has the facilities to make photocopies (I could, but I'd have to have it done by one of the photocopy shops and it would cost me a bomb, so ideally need somone who has a machine at work etc). Then I don't mind letting people have a copy.



There is no workshop manual available for the E39 M5......anywhere. So this is all that's available specific to the M5.

The Cost Nothing......you just owe me a favour some time. On the understanding that you don't stick them on E-Bay Or Any Other Forum and sell them etc. I paid quite abit to obtain these copies.....and that's my perk.
