FYI, looks like the entire (or most of it) G05 owners manual is now available in the BMW Drivers Guide app! I search for X5 VIN 5UXCR6C59KLK68994, it said it couldn’t be found, but then at the bottom said I could instead download a demo car version. I clicked that and low and behold the G05 manual!!

Great find. I was able to download demo vehicle without VIN. It was the G05

Thank you! This is my first BMW, so much to learn about iDrive.

Thank you Scott!
Downloaded the manual. Found some sections helpful (videos), whereas other sections had me gritting my teeth @ BMW for lack of sufficient info [suspension settings /driving dynamics/config options]. Oh well

Overall still useful though, thanks again!

Yes but unfortunately this vehicle does not have all Options, such as the air suspension, rear wheel steering, driving assistant pro, etc....

I misread this news story as "BMW X5 Now Available In Manual" and started reaching for my wallet to put a deposit down——and then I realized I'm an idiot and am just very tired

for some reason, I also initially read it this way too. haha

Have they ever made a manual X5 in the E53 generation?

Lol! Glad I'm not alone!!

The only "X" car I'm aware of in a manual was the first gen X3 right?? Were there ever any others?

Yes, There was a 5 speed manual available for the E53 X5. I know for sure because I drove one.

In one of the replies to this thread someone said they downloaded a .pdf of the G05 BMW X5 Owner's manual. Can someone download it and make it available in the sticky section?

Thanks.
