Known issues by generation
Both the F90 and G90 M5 models come with their respective challenges. The F90's S63B44T4 engine is known for potential heat-soak issues with turbo bearings and oil-cooler lines, requiring vigilant preventive maintenance. Moreover, tuning detections from MHD and Bootmod3 can significantly affect resale values. The G90 M5, while modern, relies on a developing service network for its PHEV components and may face early generation service challenges. Both generations necessitate careful documentation of service history, especially for collectors.
