After recent posts on squeaky brakes, I'm interested in finding the details of any related service advisory information. Is there some public information respository somewhere I can look at/search to get that information?
Any help appreciated! Thanks.

You can get some BMW Technical Service Bulletin and Recall information here:
http://www.alldata.com/tsb/BMW/index-issue.html
All of BMW's bulletins are available here:
http://www.bmwtis.com/
However, it is a paid subscription service.
Interestingly, if you know the bulletin number, you can actually view them, like this:
http://www.bmwtis.com/tsb/bulletins/bullet...mp/B611403g.htm
In this case, that is for SI B 61 14 03. Replace the "B611403" in the url with other bulletin numbers to access them. I actually think this is probably an oversight in the coding of their site, and it's probably not intended that anyone can see these bulletins (without subscribing). For now, at least, we can use this data for reference.
Perhaps we can get enough people together to collectively subscribe and aggregate all of the E60 bulletins? The problem is that the terms of service make it clear that the information is not to be reproduced elsewhere...the best bet is to use one another as resources, or, in the event that it's critical to find out information about a particular subject, a one-day BMW TIS subscription is only $25...

...a one-day BMW TIS subscription is only $25...

DAS, did you mean to say a "one time" subscription is only 25?
25 bucks for a one DAY subscription seems very steep..

You will glean a lot of information from following ALL the SIBs listed in the one SIB DAS referenced above. Follow all thos threads in there and it leads you to many informative releases. Apparently, once a SIB number is assigned to a problem that issue gets tracked throughout its history with the same number. Hence when you see a SIB with a 2002 year and click on a hot link you might end up with an update in 2006 for that problem. I am going thru all these links as I respond here and printing out for future reference.
