📖Generation guide
F90 M5 Competition • 2018-2023
The F90 M5 Competition is powered by the S63B44T4, a 4.4L twin-turbo V8 engine delivering robust performance with 617 hp. It features M xDrive with multiple drive modes, making it a versatile choice for both daily driving and spirited performance.
G90 M5 PHEV • 2024+
The G90 M5 represents the evolution of the M5, integrating a PHEV powertrain with the S68 twin-turbo V8. This model shifts towards electrification while maintaining exceptional performance, showcasing BMW's commitment to innovation in the luxury sedan market.
Known issues by generation
The F90 M5 Competition's S63B44T4 engine is known for its heat-soak issues affecting turbocharger bearings and oil-cooler lines. Preventive inspection of these components is advised between 60,000 to 80,000 miles. Additionally, the 8-speed M Steptronic transmission may exhibit valve-body wear at high mileage, leading to harsh shifting experiences. When considering a G90 M5 PHEV, be aware of the evolving service requirements associated with its high-voltage battery and electric motor, alongside the importance of having the appropriate documentation for verification and service history.
Donation value by condition + generation
The modern supersedan market, particularly for the F90 M5 Competition, showcases values ranging from $80,000 to $130,000 depending on factors like mileage, condition, and specific options such as the M Carbon Ceramic Brake package. Notably, low-mileage, well-serviced examples can command upwards of $150,000. The collector premium for unmodified factory-tuned cars continues to grow, making preventive maintenance and detailed service history essential. Collectors should note the importance of preserving original paint and avoiding factory color changes to maintain value, especially in the context of appraisals for IRS documentation.
Donation process for this model
Donating your BMW M5 Competition is a straightforward process that greatly benefits Sound Car Relief. We highly recommend having your vehicle appraised by a qualified professional to ensure fair valuation, especially given the IRS Form 8283 Section B implications for high-value donations. Clean, low-mileage examples should consider enclosed transport to preserve condition. Documentation is crucial, and we require original paint verification, service history receipts, and engine-code-VIN match verification for a seamless donation experience.
