The BMW M5 Competition, spanning the 2018-2023 F90 generation and the upcoming G90 PHEV, exemplifies the modern executive supersedan. With its potent S63B44T4 and S68 hybrid powertrains, the M5 has redefined luxury performance, blending unparalleled power and sophisticated technology into a single vehicle. As a potential donor in New York, you understand the prestige of owning such an iconic sedan, and your vehicle can continue to make an impact through Metro Wheels.
In this era of modern-supersedan-flagship excellence, each M5 Competition represents a commitment to performance and engineering brilliance. While the F90 stands as the last of the pure internal combustion models, the G90 M5’s hybrid transition marks a significant step towards a sustainable future. Donating your M5—whether a pristine F90 or an emerging G90—ensures its legacy lives on, all while supporting an essential cause in your community.

Known issues by generation
The F90 M5 Competition is known for potential heat-soak issues affecting turbocharger bearings and oil-cooler lines, necessitating preventive inspections around 60-80k miles. Additionally, tune-detection from MHD or Bootmod3 can red-flag warranty claims, emphasizing the importance of maintaining factory-tuning integrity. The G90 PHEV is still developing its service ecosystem, with early models potentially facing unique high-voltage battery maintenance challenges. As always, adherence to preventive maintenance is key to preserving value.
Donation value by condition + generation
The market for modern-supersedan flagships like the F90 M5 Competition ranges from $80k to $130k+, depending on mileage, options like the carbon ceramic brake package, and documented service history. Notably, clean, low-mile examples can fetch $110k to $150k, particularly with original paint and no modifications. For the G90 M5 PHEV, window-sticker-supported appraisals suggest a starting point around $120k. Engaging a qualified appraiser is crucial, particularly for donations in the $80k+ category.
Donation process for this model
Donating your M5 Competition to Metro Wheels entails a commitment to ensuring its legacy. With IRS Form 8283 Section B being heavily applicable for vehicles valued above $5k, engaging a qualified appraiser is strongly recommended. The vehicle should be transported enclosed to preserve its condition, and documentation demonstrating original paint, service history, and compliance with engine code VIN matching will be essential for a smooth donation process.
