Omitting a printed copy may come some day, but at least as of September when I got mine, a printed copy was included. As a 'repair' part, BMW seems to charge a lot of money, so if the one for your vehicle was lost or stolen somehow, it sounds like they are trying to avoid the expense of buying one from BMW.
Now, whether you 'need' one, that may be harder to decide. Some prefer to use a screen as it can be easier to search. Seems like some people have forgotten with tables of contents and indexes are for, but some like to sit and actually read a book (it's pretty thick for the X5!).
