Welcome to Indy Car Connect, where we invite owners of the iconic BMW M5 Competition (F90 + G90) to consider donating their vehicles to further our mission. The F90 M5 Competition, produced between 2018 and 2023, is a paragon of modern engineering, featuring the powerful S63B44T4 4.4L twin-turbo V8 that delivers exhilarating performance. As we transition to the G90 M5 PHEV starting from 2024, the lineage of these executive supersedans reflects a commitment to innovation, blending the raw power of the past with the sustainable future of hybrid performance. With no manual transmission option available, the focus remains on the unrivaled automatic transmission experience, ensuring that every drive embodies the essence of luxury and performance.
Donating your BMW M5 Competition not only helps preserve the legacy of these remarkable vehicles but also supports our commitment to improving the community. We recognize that careful maintenance and documentation of service history enhance collector value and ensure these modern classics remain respected on the road and in the enthusiast community. Whether you own a low-mileage, carbon-ceramic brake-equipped F90 M5 Competition or the latest G90 hybrid flagship, your contribution can make a lasting impact.
📖Generation guide

Known issues by generation
The F90 M5 Competition is known for specific maintenance considerations, particularly with the S63B44T4 engine. Owners should be aware of potential heat-soak issues affecting turbocharger bearings and oil-cooler lines, necessitating preventive inspections at 60-80k miles. The popularity of tuning via MHD or Bootmod3 can affect warranty and service history validity, making un-modified factory-tuned cars more desirable for collectors. Additionally, the 8-speed M Steptronic automatic transmission may exhibit valve-body wear and harsh shifting at high mileage, with remediation costs ranging from $2,000 to $4,000. For the G90 PHEV, early-generation service networks are still developing, and maintaining proper documentation for high-voltage components will be crucial.
Donation value by condition + generation
The modern executive-supersedan tier commands significant value, with the F90 M5 Competition typically ranging from $80,000 to $130,000+, depending on factors like mileage and optional features such as carbon-ceramic brakes. Low-mileage examples have seen auction prices exceed $150,000, especially those with verified service histories and original paint. As no manual options exist for these models, collector premiums are driven by their condition, factory options, and preventive maintenance receipts, making it essential to engage in proper documentation and appraisal for any potential donation.
Donation process for this model
Donating your BMW M5 Competition through Indy Car Connect requires careful attention to detail, particularly because of the high-value tier involved. We strongly recommend a qualified appraisal to determine the vehicle's value for IRS Form 8283 Section B, which is heavily applicable at the $80,000-$180,000+ range. It is advisable to use enclosed transport for low-mileage examples to preserve their condition. Please ensure that original-paint documentation, service history receipts, engine code-VIN matches, and any performance modification disclosures are readily available to facilitate a smooth donation experience.
