Does the M5 Service Manual exist? - The Unofficial BMW M5 Messageboard (m5board.com)

I ordered this:

Bentley Paper Repair Manual - 2000-2003 BMW M5 S62

On Amazon but received the standard 5 Series version from AutoPartsWay. When I contacted them they said that is the only version they have.

I looked around the web and all of the other vendors that say they have the M5 version do not have a picture so I'm not really even sure if it exists!

Does anyone have it and if so where did you get it?

Thanks!

I may be wrong but I don't think a Bentley manual exists for the e39 M5.

After some additional research it appears that this is correct but many online shops are listing the E39 standard manual as a 2000-2003 BMW M5 S62 manual so buyer beware I guess.

Doesn't exist. AFAIK

Some of the E39 stuff is useful, but there is no paper manual for the M5

I bought an e39 bentley manual. It was two books, and very pricey. Personally, I haven't found it as good as past bentley manuals. It seems to copy the Tis manual. I guess these cars are too expensive and advanced to justify a tear down for a true manual.

I would think you'd be better off buying the ETK, TIS, etc. from Ebay.
I got a 4 disc set with all of the stuff for $15-20.

Yes I know you can pretty much get this info online as well but this way you don't have to depend on an Internet connection to get info.
