📖Generation guide
F90 M5 Competition • 2018-2023
This generation features the 4.4L S63B44T4 twin-turbo V8, delivering 617 hp and 553 lb-ft torque, paired with M xDrive AWD. Known for its performance and luxury, it holds a collector premium for original paint and careful service history.
G90 M5 PHEV • 2024+
The G90 M5 integrates a PHEV powertrain with an S68 twin-turbo V8, producing 717 hp. It marks BMW's transition towards electrified performance while retaining the exclusivity of the M brand.
Known issues by generation
The F90 M5 Competition is known for specific issues such as heat-soak problems affecting the turbocharger bearings, necessitating preventive bearing inspections at 60-80k miles, along with oil-cooler line retrofits. Additionally, buyers should be aware of MHD and Bootmod3 tune-detection risks that can flag warranty claims. The G90, as a new entrant, will likely face its own growing pains, including high-voltage battery management but benefits from an 8-year/100k warranty on EV components, making thorough inspection crucial in both cases.
Donation value by condition + generation
The value of the BMW M5 Competition ranges widely, with F90 models typically appraised between $80,000 to $130,000, while low-mileage examples can command $110,000 to $150,000, especially with the Carbon Ceramic Brake package. The G90 PHEV starts around $120,000, warranting careful appraisal to maximize donation value. Collectors emphasize the importance of original paint and a documented service history, making preventive maintenance records vital. Engaging with platforms like BaT, Hagerty, and RM Sotheby’s will provide essential comparables for potential appraisals.
Donation process for this model
Donating your BMW M5 Competition requires meticulous documentation, especially when considering the value tier of $80,000 to $180,000.

Ensuring the vehicle is transported in an enclosed environment is advised, particularly for low-mileage examples.
