Odd question to anyone who has recently bought a new BMW

[AOK]

Hi there,

Quite a simple one really... if you've taken delivery of a new BMW recently, how much (or little) literature was contained within the leather "book pack"?

I have a 2017 G30 5 Series with Media pack. The "book pack" only has one thick manual "En 5 Series". Within, there are references to another book which relates solely to the infotainment system. Alas, I do not have this book though.

Anyone else?

Cheers

Can't answer about the books, but I think the manuals are all loaded onto the iDrive.

All the BMWs I've had only came with a single owners manual. In my current one they're even done away with the service book.

The X1 I've got (March 2017) has only one book (the owners manual) in the black case which refers to interactive handbook which I can find on iDrive.
Agreed, no service book.

Thanks chaps.

Yep, no service books on any 'F' generation cars onwards I believe.

My query relates to an "additional" handbook which focuses on the media system in more detail, but alas sounds like I'm not the only person not to receive this

I don't think a handbook for the media system exists

I had three booklets 2016 4 series

My M135i (2016) came with the generic manual only.

As my first BMW I also got a tad confused at first

The transfer away from service books was mid way through the F Series. My 2015 does not have one, my fathers 2013 does, both are LCI cars.

Interestingly the 2013 car has both the electronic history recorded in iDrive and the conventional stamped service book.
