Service Book
Just picked up my new M5 CP. I went to check what was included in the 1200 mile service and could not find a service book. Sales person said they were now all electronic but not sure I believe this.
Could anyone with a recently delivered M5 let me know if there is a service log book present...and whether it is stamped with a pre-delivery inspection/ service Appreciate any feedback BTW just love the car. I traded an 18 month old M135i which is a hot little chilli pepper of a car with absolutely brilliant drive train. Was going to buy an M3 but ended up preferring the M5 ....a very different beast. Will be running in for a while so enjoying the anticipation of performance to come. Last edited by SteveC; 01-08-2015 at 05:14 PM.. |

Same, was told its all stored on the key. The service people plug the key into their computers every time you visit - told it reads and then backs up to BMW HQ.

I collected mine a couple of months ago and as mentioned no service book as all stored on the key/ecu.
Was told it added the prevention of false docs etc and makes total sense when you consider we don't even have a tax disc anymore. Enjoy the M5 as I was also after the F30 M3 and walked away with M5. One very happy man.

False Documents
Yeah, that makes sense......
I wonder how many others have compared M3 and M5 and decided on the latter. For me, the M5 felt a lot more special....a more complete piece of automotive engineering excellence |

The system definitely saves a dealer code. This shows up on the idrive service record. My guess is that the dealer system records more detail about the actual service items that were changed.
