Why no SM for the E89??
I was curious why I don't see any service manuals posted here? Is the forum sponsored by BMW that discussion about service manuals is a taboo? Does our vehicle not have one released just yet?

That's true. Bentley will eventually put out a maintenance manual, but it takes a few years...I don't know how long. I'm with you though. That's why I'm hoping a DIY subforum can be started. There's all ready some posted DIYs but you have to search for them - angel eye bulb install, kidney grill install, etc. I'm going to post an oil change sometime around late May. I'd love to see brakes, gearbox oil change, brake fluid, differential oil change, exhaust install, spark plugs, microfilter.

 . I have always enjoyed working on my cars and would love to learn some tips and tricks from the BMW Pros. My reason for asking for the Service Manual serves this purpose by bringing us tinkerheads closer to being able to work on regular maintenance and other mod stuff if one so chooses.Being an engineer, I'm always curious on how things work and hate when the dealership takes you for a ride. Also, I do not see any service bulletins posted on our forum. Like the idea of a DIY / service bulletin / service manual thread restricted to members only.

The Mod I contacted about a DIY section hasn't responded. I guess I should message the admin directly?
