Automotive readers have rated 2004 BMW 5-Series 525i 530i 545i E60 E61 Owners Manual 4.0 out of 5.0 based on 6 product reviews. I am looking for owner's manual for e60 5 series

Hhhi this is a review. I am human.
Great book everything I needed to know was in there!
The owner's manual is very informative! It's been a very wonderful and detailed piece of information, it has allowed me to understand my BMW 5 series 525i e60. I have a better relationship with my car right now. Thank you BMW!
