📖Generation guide
F90 M5 Competition • 2018-2023
This generation features a potent S63B44T4 4.4L twin-turbo V8, delivering 617hp with M xDrive for superior all-weather performance. Known for its thrilling dynamics, it remains a favorite among enthusiasts.
G90 M5 PHEV • 2024+

Known issues by generation
Both the F90 and G90 generations come with notable considerations. The F90's S63B44T4 engine has been known to suffer from heat-soak issues affecting turbocharger bearings and oil-cooler lines, necessitating preventive inspections at 60-80k miles. Additionally, MHD and Bootmod3 tune detection can influence warranty status, making original unmodified examples more desirable. For the G90, while it boasts advanced technology, early service networks are still developing, and it's important to understand the specifics of the high-voltage battery and electric motor service requirements to ensure optimal performance.
Donation value by condition + generation
The modern supersedan market reflects a nuanced appreciation for both the F90 and G90 M5 variants. Clean, low-mileage examples of the F90 are commanding values ranging from $110k to $150k or more, especially those equipped with the M Carbon Ceramic Brake option, while G90 M5s are starting at about $120k. Preventive maintenance documentation is crucial in this segment, as potential buyers look for well-maintained vehicles that retain their factory specifications. Additionally, any factory color changes or lack of original paint can significantly impact the value. Utilizing valuation tools and auction comparisons is essential for accurate appraisals for your donation.
