The transition from the F90's pure ICE performance to the G90's electrified powertrain marks an exciting era in automotive history.
As a donor, you play a crucial role in preserving the legacy of these remarkable vehicles. Each M5 offers unique attributes, and meticulous attention to preventive maintenance is essential.

📖Generation guide

Known issues by generation
The F90 M5 Competition, equipped with the S63B44T4 engine, is known for certain heat-soak issues affecting turbocharger bearings and oil cooler lines. Preventive inspections of these components are recommended at 60,000 to 80,000 miles, with retrofitting of heat shields being common practice among owners. Furthermore, caution should be exercised regarding MHD and Bootmod3 tune detection, as any modifications can jeopardize warranties and significantly affect resale value. On the G90 M5 PHEV, while the service network is still developing, owners should be aware of the high-voltage battery's maintenance needs, covered under an 8-year/100,000-mile warranty.
Donation value by condition + generation
The value of the F90 M5 Competition ranges from $80,000 to $130,000, depending on mileage and options such as the coveted Carbon Ceramic Brakes (CCB), which can command a significant premium in the collector market. Low-mileage, well-maintained examples, especially with CCB, can exceed $150,000 at auction. The G90 M5 PHEV, with an MSRP starting at $120,000, is also expected to appreciate as the market for electrified performance vehicles grows. Documentation of preventive maintenance and originality, especially concerning paint and service records, is vital in maintaining value. Proper appraisal from qualified experts is highly recommended for donations in this price tier.
Donation process for this model
When considering donating your F90 M5 Competition or G90 M5 PHEV, it is essential to work with a qualified appraiser to determine the vehicle's value accurately, especially for donations exceeding $5,000. IRS Form 8283 Section B is heavily applicable, and collectors must provide detailed documentation of original paint, service history receipts, engine code and VIN match, and any modifications disclosed. Enclosed transport is recommended for clean, low-mileage examples to preserve their condition during transit.
