Known issues by generation
The F90 M5 Competition is known for its S63B44T4 turbocharger heat-soak issues, particularly regarding the bearings, leading to the necessity for preventive maintenance checks between 60,000 and 80,000 miles. Many owners opt for a heat-shield wrap retrofit on oil cooler lines to mitigate potential problems. Additionally, the detection of aftermarket tunes via MHD or Bootmod3 can severely impact warranty claims and collector value, emphasizing the importance of keeping the vehicle in factory condition.
