My Ride: 2008 Sapphire Black on Black M5 - loaded sans soft close doors

Just got the car back with 26.2.2 (per docs) and I have no way of getting to the area where I used to be able to check oil level and remaining miles on things like oil level, brake pads, etc.

When I go into the BMW Service menu I can only go to Options - it won't go anywhere from there.

Ideas?

Just got my European E60 2006 back with CIP upgrade : from what I remember, you have to get to central iDrive menu and look for the SOURCES OF INFORMATION menu (at least that's what I translate from the french menus I have); in this menu, you will have a SUB MENU called SERVICE INFO: there you are !!!;
Now I have NO IDEA why the BMW guys chose this menu to put the Service Info.....
Good luck with that

Thanks
It is Information Sources - THANKS, never thought to check there.

For the most part, I really like the changes to the menus and whatnot, but this one makes no sense.
