Known issues by generation
Both the F90 and G90 M5 generations have specific known issues that potential donors should be aware of. The F90's S63B44T4 engine can experience heat-soak problems affecting turbocharger bearings and oil cooler lines, making preventive inspections crucial at around 60-80k miles. Additionally, issues related to MHD and Bootmod3 tune-detection can impact warranty status. On the G90 side, as this generation introduces the S68 engine and hybrid components, early service networks are still ramping up to address high-voltage battery and electric motor maintenance. Understanding these details is essential for preserving the value and functionality of your M5.

The G90 M5 PHEV is initially priced from $120,000 and may appreciate as the electrified future unfolds. Collectors will pay a premium for documented preventive maintenance and original paint, so be sure to keep records. Auction platforms like Hagerty, BaT, RM Sotheby's, and Mecum are invaluable for gauging market trends and ensuring your donation reflects an accurate appraisal.
Donation process for this model
