Known issues by generation
Both the F90 and G90 M5 generations come with their unique set of considerations. The F90's S63B44T4 engine is known for specific heat-soak issues related to turbocharger bearings and oil-cooler lines, necessitating preventive inspections around 60-80k miles. Additionally, the 8-speed M Steptronic may exhibit valve-body wear at high mileage. For the G90, early service networks are developing for its sophisticated PHEV components; hence, awareness of battery and electric motor service is essential. Maintaining a clean service history is crucial for collector value across both generations.
Donation value by condition + generation
The modern-supersedan market sees significant value in the BMW M5 Competition. For the F90 generation, prices range from $80k to $130k+ depending on mileage, condition, and options like the M Carbon Ceramic Brake package. Low-mileage examples can exceed $150k, especially with verified preventive maintenance. With no manual transmission option available, collector interest is driven by original paint and comprehensive service history. The G90, starting at $120k+, represents a new era in hybrid performance, making documented appraisals from qualified sources essential for donations at this tier.
