mystery to me....I wonder whether this post is in the wrong category...you are the first guy to even respond ...I gotta believe that there are M5 owners that actually turn a wrench now and then and I doubt all of them are just inherently brilliant mechanics(or crazy)...these cars are too "interesting" to work on w/o a good manual....

Its a big community over here, and there are several good DIYs on the common stuff. Maybe that is why the interest level is low.
