The BMW M5 Competition represents the pinnacle of modern executive sedans, melding performance with luxury in a way only BMW can. As a donor in Providence, your contribution of a 2018-2023 F90 or 2024+ G90 not only supports Wheel of Hope but also honors the lineage of these remarkable vehicles. The F90 M5 Competition, with its 617 hp S63B44T4 twin-turbo V8, and the G90 M5 PHEV, transitioning towards an electrified future with its 717 hp powertrain, embody the best of both worlds.
While the F90 generation delivers an exhilarating driving experience with M xDrive and multiple driving modes, the G90 represents a bold step towards sustainability without compromising performance. Although manual transmissions are absent from these models, their collector appeal remains strong, especially with preventive maintenance and original specifications. Join us in continuing the legacy of excellence by donating your M5 Competition today.
đź“–Generation guide
F90 M5 Competition • 2018-2023
This generation features the S63B44T4 twin-turbo V8, offering 617 hp and 553 lb-ft of torque. Its M xDrive system allows for multiple driving modes, ensuring peak performance.
G90 M5 PHEV • 2024+
The G90 M5 transitions to a PHEV setup with S68 twin-turbo V8 and electric motor for a combined output of 717 hp, marking a shift towards electrification while retaining sporty driving dynamics.
Known issues by generation
The F90 generation is known for specific issues including heat-soak problems with the S63B44T4 twin-turbo V8 affecting turbocharger bearings, necessitating preventive inspections. The 8-speed M Steptronic transmission may exhibit valve-body wear at high mileage, leading to harsh shifts, while the M Drive rotary controller can suffer from glitches. For the G90, early service networks may still be developing, and it's crucial for donors to ensure their vehicle's battery and electric motor components are within warranty for a smooth transition into the electrified age.
Donation value by condition + generation
The value of the M5 Competition varies significantly depending on condition, mileage, and options. Factory-equipped carbon ceramic brakes (CCB) and unmatched service history can drive prices upwards of $130k for well-maintained examples. Original paint and diligent maintenance records are essential for preserving collector value. As these vehicles are routinely valued over $5k, utilizing reputable appraisal services like Hagerty or BaT is strongly recommended to properly assess your donation.
Donation process for this model
Donating your BMW M5 Competition to Wheel of Hope is a straightforward process, though we strongly recommend obtaining an IRS Form 8283 Section B appraisal for vehicles valued at $80k and above. Enclosed transport is ideal for low-mileage examples, and documentation verification—including original paint, service records, and engine-VIN conformity—will ensure a seamless transfer that honors the vehicle's integrity and value.
