BMW Manuals in PDF Format

Does anyone out there know if ANY of the BMW Manuals have been released as PDF's?
Particularly, I'm looking for one for my 2011 X6M. It just makes sense to have these available for Download. It would be so easy to find out why the "points of interests" that I've specified are not showing up on my navigation map (and other things of course). Yes, I can walk downstairs, go outside, get the manual, look it up in the index, find the correct page and paragraph... you get the point. It would be so convenient to simple open the PDF and search for keywords.
Anyone else out there feel this way or am I just some lazy SOB who wants too much outta life? Feel free to criticize, I got thick skin.

Just pretend you don't have a computer.
Place the manual next to your nightstand
and have at it.

Yes we actually did that. Pretty interesting
stuff in those manuals. Somehow picking
up a book and reading it has a certain
satisfaction attached to it.....

Of course. Go to www.bmwusa.com, Owners tab, Owner's Manuals (in pdf). 2011 models aren't all up there yet, but the 2010 models are. Float the cursor over the model to see the list of options (once you click it, it takes you to the videos). You will find Owner's manuals, supplemental M manual, owner's videos about iDrive and checking the oil, etc.

Not sure if the link will work, but you should find it from the above.

Quicksilver however did write this reply on his ipad while seated in the back seat of his Maybach with the massage, heating, and cooling functions all set to max all the while sipping champagne in a glass held by his 'assistant.'

Yeah I long for those good ol' days too.

Wow... kinda feel dumb for not researching the BMW site initially. Actually the first thing I did was ask my sales rep and SouthBay and they didn't seem to think one was available... I give them the benefit of the doubt and assume they just meant a 2011 manual was not available. However, they never indicated going to the Owners section of the BMW site.

Thank You Very Much, JCL... you're my hero!
