📖Generation guide
F90 M5 Competition • 2018-2023
The F90 M5 Competition features the S63B44T4 4.4L twin-turbo V8, delivering thrilling performance with 617hp and 553 lb-ft of torque. This generation is a benchmark for luxury and speed.
G90 M5 PHEV • 2024+
The G90 M5 transitions into the hybrid realm with its S68 4.4L twin-turbo V8 paired with an electric motor, producing a combined 717hp. This marks a new era of efficient performance.
Known issues by generation
Both the F90 and G90 M5 generations come with unique considerations. The F90 variant is known for potential heat-soak issues concerning turbocharger bearings and oil-cooler lines, emphasizing the need for preventive turbo-bearing inspections between 60-80k miles. The G90’s new PHEV powertrain may present early-generation service challenges, particularly with high-voltage batteries. Furthermore, tune detection from MHD and Bootmod3 can negatively impact the car's collectability, highlighting the importance of maintaining a factory-tuned vehicle to attract collectors.
Donation value by condition + generation
The value of the F90 M5 Competition ranges significantly, often falling between $80k and $130k+, heavily influenced by mileage, condition, and optional packages like the M Carbon Ceramic Brake (CCB). Low-mileage, well-documented examples can fetch $110k or more at auction sites like Bring a Trailer. For the G90 M5 PHEV, with an MSRP starting at $120k+, early-generation donations hold significant appraisal value. Preventive maintenance history is critical for both models, as is original paint and documentation for collectors concerned with authenticity.
Donation process for this model
Donating your BMW M5 Competition through Revive Auto is straightforward. We strongly recommend that you seek a qualified appraiser to evaluate your vehicle, especially since the IRS Form 8283 Section B will be heavily applicable for donations valued between $80k and $180k+. For clean, low-mileage examples, we suggest using enclosed transport to ensure preservation. Documentation must include original paint verification, service history receipts, and an engine code VIN match to maintain collector value.
