Known issues by generation

The F90 M5 Competition faces known issues such as turbocharger heat-soak problems due to its hot-V design, necessitating preventive inspections of the S63B44T4 turbocharger bearings, especially around 60-80k miles. It's also crucial to disclose any modifications, as the MHD and Bootmod3 tune-detection can flag warranty concerns.

The G90 M5 PHEV starts at around $120k+, with premiums for original-paint examples and well-documented histories. It's essential to maintain preventive maintenance records, as they are vital for valuation, especially in the collector market where Hagerty and BaT auction comps can greatly influence appraisals.
