I just received my first real service on my 7/2000 build, and they used 10w 60. The service people at Crevier told me that there have been some problems with 5w 30 in the post 3/2000 M5s, and so BMW put out a bulletin telling their dealers to use 10w 60 in all E39 M5s. Has anyone seen the bulletin?


I've got the UK bulletin scanned so reply to my email address anybody who wants a copy.
