2008 BMW M6 Service and Repair Manual

This factory service and repair manual for the 2008 BMW M6 covers a coupe and a convertible, one trim and one engine: the naturally aspirated 5.0L V10 with double overhead camshafts and gasoline fueling, in Base form. The V10 sections are the heart of it — assembly clearances, timing, oil and coolant system procedures with their torque values — and the body sections then divide between the fixed roof and the folding one.

Engines covered

• 5.0L V10 — DOHC, naturally aspirated, gasoline

Body styles covered

• 2-door convertible
• 2-door coupe

Trims covered

• Base

Known issues on the 2008 M6. A single recall applies to this year, and it concerns a high-current connection rather than a mechanical part: the positive battery cable's bulkhead connector at the trunk floor may be fitted incorrectly, letting the bolted joint work loose until the resistance across it generates enough heat to cause a fire, even when the car is standing unused. Two owner complaints are on record, both on steering. The manual covers the battery and cable installation, and the steering system's specifications and diagnostics.
