Welcome to Gear Up Giving, where your donation of a BMW M5 Competition (F90 + G90) can make a significant impact in our community. The M5 Competition, spanning from the final pure internal combustion engine (ICE) F90 generation (2018-2023) to the innovative G90 plug-in hybrid (PHEV) model starting in 2024, represents the pinnacle of modern German engineering and luxury performance. Whether you are parting with a meticulously maintained F90 M5 Competition or a groundbreaking G90 M5, your contribution helps us continue our mission to support those in need.
In Chicago, where the automotive culture thrives, the M5 Competition stands as a testament to a unique blend of power, sophistication, and technology. With the F90's revered S63B44T4 twin-turbo V8 engine, producing an exhilarating 617 horsepower, or the future-forward G90 with its electrified powertrain, both models showcase a commitment to automotive excellence. We honor the rich heritage of these vehicles, while emphasizing the importance of preventive maintenance and care that each model deserves.
📖Generation guide
F90 M5 Competition • 2018-2023
The F90 M5 Competition features the S63B44T4 4.4L twin-turbo V8 engine, delivering 617 hp and 553 lb-ft of torque. Known for its performance-oriented M xDrive AWD system and luxurious sedan body style, it is a collector's favorite.

Known issues by generation
While the BMW M5 Competition models are engineered for excellence, prospective donors should be aware of some known issues. The F90's S63B44T4 engine can experience heat-soak issues, particularly affecting the turbocharger bearings and oil-cooler lines, making preventive maintenance crucial. Owners are encouraged to conduct inspections near 60-80k miles. Additionally, potential MHD and Bootmod3 tune-detection could affect warranty status, emphasizing the value of factory-tuned cars. The G90 M5 PHEV, while introducing innovative technology, requires careful monitoring of its high-voltage battery and electric motor systems, especially as the service network continues to develop.
Donation value by condition + generation
The value of modern executive supersedans like the F90 M5 Competition and G90 M5 PHEV is influenced by multiple factors. Typical F90 values range from $80,000 to $130,000, depending on mileage, service history, and optional carbon ceramic brakes, which can command a premium. Clean, low-mile examples can reach $150,000 or more at auction. For G90 PHEV models, expect a starting MSRP of $120,000, with appraisals reflecting their emerging collector status. Documentation of preventive maintenance and original paint is crucial, as factory color changes can detract from value, making qualified appraiser recommendations highly advisable.
Donation process for this model
Donating your M5 Competition to Gear Up Giving involves a straightforward process, though specific documentation is required to maximize your tax benefits. Given the modern-supersedan-flagship status, IRS Form 8283 Section B is essential for valuations exceeding $80,000. Our team can assist in ensuring your vehicle is transported securely, especially if it is a low-mile, original-paint example. Make sure to maintain a complete service history and disclose any necessary information regarding tune detection, which ensures a smooth donation experience.
