Can anyone who just bought an LCI please convince BMW to give you the pdf version of the owners manual. I got the UK one last year (posted on this website) from them after much difficulty because they'll tell you it doesn't exist or that you'll get one from your dealer etc. The line I used was "I'm travelling a lot and would like to read my manual when I'm on the train or in my hotel room". Something to bear in mind is that it's quite big and can't be emailed easily so what I did was provided BMW with an FTP link to my hosting server.

Well I know they don't have it listed in the owners circle because I just looked last night. I wish they would post it too, because I want to read it before I head over to Munich to pick up my 550i.

.. the pdf version of the owners manual. I got the UK one (now posted on this website)
My navigation and observation skills have let me down.

Can someone help me locate it?

Oh yeah. I misread something which is, to me obviously, ambiguous. "I got the UK one (now posted on this website)...".

It seemed strange to be asking for something that had been posted.

This is where lawyers make their money.

Are the Bookmark/Function Keys that hard to use?
