45e owner's manual or features videos

Hi, Does anyone have the full-blown owner's manual or videos that show all the features as 45e has endless features to learn which I'm trying to learn prior to getting my x5 delivered? Thanks all.

You should be able to download Driver’s Guide once your VIN is assigned and build is completed. Has bunch of videos explaining all the features.

What I did prior to getting my VIN was to pick a 45e on the dealer's lot and use that VIN...finding one today, might be tough, though.

If I'm able to find a 45e with a VIN #, where do I enter them to start learning about all the features?

Here is the link to the online manuals. Look for a similarly equipped vehicle and enter the VIN.

Many dealers show their current inventory on their website, so pick a 45e from someone (from your same country!), and use that. You want one from the same model year, but other than that, probably not a big deal. In reality, most of the stuff is the same from year to year, so most any one would work to give you a good feel...yours just might not have all of the options.

I'm curious if BMW edits out this stuff as they decontent the options, or if they just leave it all in ...

In theory, the onboard manual should show the best depiction of the as delivered vehicle. THey could tweak the *.pdf, but I'm not sure how up to date that is. From what I can see, they don't reprint the hard copies all that often.

Another option is to simply call the BMW Genius hotline: if you have a production number and you ask for the manual, they will email you a PDF copy based on your car's configuration.

They did with my 45e and it was helpful for me to be able to go through it before the car got delivered.
