The BMW M5 Competition, specifically the F90 (2018-2023) and the emerging G90 (2024+), represents an intriguing chapter in the evolution of modern executive supersedans. As the final iterations of BMW's pure internal combustion engine (ICE) flagship converge into the hybrid era, these vehicles are poised to become cherished collector's items, with their thrilling performance and sophisticated engineering. From the 617 horsepower S63B44T4 twin-turbocharged V8 of the F90 to the 717 horsepower PHEV hybrid system in the G90, these models embody a commitment to both power and luxury.
In Jacksonville, owning an M5 is not just about the drive; it's about joining a community that values automotive excellence. While the world of modern supersedans doesn't include manual transmission options for these M5 generations, the prestige of these vehicles is palpable. We invite you to consider donating your BMW M5 Competition, a model that not only showcases advanced engineering but also represents a legacy of performance and luxury.
📖Generation guide
F90 M5 Competition • 2018-2023
The F90 is powered by the S63B44T4, featuring a 4.4L twin-turbo V8 delivering 617 hp. Known for its M xDrive system, it offers a thrilling driving experience without the manual transmission option.
G90 M5 PHEV • 2024+
The G90 ushers in a new era with a PHEV powertrain combining the S68 4.4L twin-turbo V8 and an electric motor for a robust 717 hp. This marks BMW's transition into electrified performance.
Known issues by generation
The F90 M5 Competition's S63B44T4 engine is known for potential heat-soak issues affecting turbocharger bearings and oil-cooler lines. Preventive maintenance, including turbo-bearing inspections between 60,000 and 80,000 miles and heat-shield retrofits for oil lines, is advised. Additionally, the 8-speed M Steptronic automatic transmission can exhibit valve-body wear and harsh shifting at high mileage. The optional M Carbon Ceramic Brake package, while enhancing performance, requires consideration for its costly rotor replacements. Understanding these nuances is essential for maintaining collector value and ensuring a premium driving experience.
Donation value by condition + generation
The value of modern executive supersedans like the BMW M5 Competition is deeply influenced by their condition and history. F90 M5 examples typically range from $80,000 to $130,000+, with low-mileage, well-maintained vehicles, especially those with the M Carbon Ceramic Brake option, commanding premiums above $150,000. The lack of a manual transmission for these generations means that collector interest leans heavily on condition, original paint, and documented service history. Be mindful that any factory color changes can serve as red flags for collectors. Utilizing valuation tools such as Hagerty, RM Sotheby's, and Bring a Trailer is crucial for accurate appraisals, with strong recommendations for qualified appraisers to ensure proper documentation for IRS purposes.
Donation process for this model
Donating your BMW M5 Competition through Drive Forward Jax involves specific requirements to maximize your tax benefits. Given the value tier of these vehicles, IRS Form 8283 Section B becomes heavily applicable for donations valued at $80,000 or more. We strongly recommend having your vehicle appraised by a qualified professional. The donation process should include documentation of original paint, service history, and any performance modifications or tune detections disclosed. Enclosed transport is advised for low-mileage examples to preserve their pristine condition.
Jacksonville regional notes
Jacksonville's automotive landscape offers a unique environment for M5 Competition owners, with a regional service network that caters to enthusiasts of BMW, Mercedes-AMG, Audi Sport, and Cadillac V.

Engaging with local clubs or communities can further enhance your ownership experience.
