2018 BMW M5 Service and Repair Manual

This factory service and repair manual for the 2018 BMW M5 covers the sedan in Base form, with the turbocharged 4.4L DOHC V8 under the hood and gasoline as its fuel. One engine, one body and one trim keep the book unusually direct: engine management, fuel delivery, cooling and exhaust are documented once, and the transmission, driveline, brake, steering and body electrical sections follow with the specifications, torque values, wiring diagrams and diagnostics that belong to this year's car.

Engines covered

• 4.4L V8 — DOHC, turbocharged, gasoline

Body styles covered

• 4-door sedan

Trims covered

• Base

Known issues on the 2018 M5. Three recalls sit on the federal record. Engine control software can shut down the fuel pump while driving and stall the car; a fuel level sensor can hang against an in-tank fuel line and report more fuel than the tank actually holds, setting up the same stall from another direction; and the rear camera can go dark when reversing. Four complaints are logged, one each against the engine, the power train and the air bags, which are fuel delivery, transmission and camera circuits this manual covers with diagrams and diagnostic routines.
