Welcome to Revive Rides, where we celebrate the exceptional BMW M5 Competition, spanning the F90 and G90 generations. This modern executive supersedan combines the raw power of a 4.4L twin-turbo V8 with luxurious comfort, making it iconic in the automotive world. The F90 era (2018-2023) marked the last of the pure internal combustion engines, while the G90 (2024+) transitions into the electrified future with its innovative PHEV powertrain. Each generation reflects a commitment to performance and sophistication, providing a unique driving experience that enthusiasts cherish.
As a potential donor, your M5 Competition represents not just a vehicle, but a piece of history in the modern-supersedan tier. While the F90 generation is known for its powerful S63B44T4 engine, the G90 introduces the S68 hybrid unit, pushing the boundaries of engineering further. As we navigate this exciting era of automotive innovation, we honor the vehicles that have paved the way and invite you to consider donating your M5 Competition to help maintain this legacy.
📖Generation guide
F90 M5 Competition • 2018-2023
Featuring the S63B44T4 4.4L twin-turbo V8, this generation boasts 617hp and advanced M xDrive AWD technology, offering unmatched performance and precision for a modern supersedan.

Known issues by generation
The F90 M5 Competition is known for its S63B44T4 hot-V engine, which may experience heat-soak issues affecting turbocharger bearings and oil cooler lines. Preventive maintenance, including turbo-bearing inspections at 60-80k miles and oil-line heat-shield retrofitting, is crucial for longevity. Additionally, common issues such as MHD and Bootmod3 tune-detection can flag warranty claims, making factory-tuned examples more desirable. The G90 M5, with its new PHEV system, is still in its service development phase, and owners should be aware of high-voltage battery service requirements as part of their maintenance routine.
Donation value by condition + generation
The value of the BMW M5 Competition ranges significantly based on its condition, mileage, and factory options. For the F90 generation, prices typically fall between $80,000 and $130,000, with low-mileage examples and those equipped with the M Carbon Ceramic Brake package commanding higher premiums. The G90 M5 PHEV is expected to start at around $120,000, emphasizing the importance of careful maintenance and documentation. Original-paint vehicles hold significant value, while any factory color changes are viewed as red flags by collectors. Therefore, maintaining a thorough service record is essential for achieving the best value upon donation or sale.
Donation process for this model
Donating your BMW M5 Competition through Revive Rides involves a thorough appraisal process, especially given the value tier of $80,000 and up. We strongly recommend obtaining a qualified appraisal, particularly if your vehicle is worth more than $5,000. Form 8283 Section B will be heavily applicable, and we advise using enclosed transport for low-mileage examples to ensure their pristine condition during transfer. Documentation such as original paint verification, service history receipts, and engine code matching will be required to facilitate a smooth donation process.
Boston regional notes
Boston is home to a vibrant community of automotive enthusiasts who appreciate the nuances of brands like BMW, Mercedes-AMG, Audi Sport, and Cadillac V. The local service network caters to these modern supersedans with specialized knowledge. Given Boston's seasonal variations, maintaining your M5 Competition in a salt-belt environment requires diligence to prevent corrosion. However, independent specialists are well-equipped to handle these high-performance vehicles, ensuring they stay in exceptional condition.
