2009 BMW M5 Service and Repair Manual

This factory service and repair manual for the 2009 BMW M5 addresses a four-door sedan with a 5.0L V10, double overhead camshafts, naturally aspirated, gasoline. Ten cylinders make routine jobs long ones, and the value of a factory manual on such an engine is that every step is sequenced and every fastener has a figure. Those are here, together with the driveline, brake, suspension, steering, climate, restraint and body electrical coverage the rest of the sedan requires.

Known issues on the 2009 M5. Engine coverage carries the specifications and torque sequences for the V10 along with test data for its fuel, ignition, lubrication and cooling systems, and the diagnostic routines that go with the engine management. Outside the engine bay the manual documents the transmission and final drive, the brakes with their dimensions and service limits, the suspension and its geometry settings, the steering, and the climate and restraint systems. Wiring diagrams run through all of it, which is where an intermittent fault on a car this complex is usually resolved.
