Rod bearing failures leading to seized engines; described as one of the least reliable BMW engines ever made.
- Very frequentExtremely high maintenance/repair costs
Described as an "absolute fortune" to maintain, with reports of $20,000+ spent over 10 years for low-mileage cars; major service bills anticipated as mileage approaches 100,000 km.
- RecurrentHybrid system and weight drawbacks (G90)
Numb brake feel due to regen, excessive mass, and electromechanical systems that detract from driver engagement; noted quality control issues like missing door assemblies and non-functional heaters in hybrid mode.

- RecurrentOil consumption
Older V8 models (S63, N63) noted to consume oil.
- IsolatedTransmission resonance
Specific note of a weird grinding/resonance between 32-34 mph in the G90 hybrid.
The version owners recommend
F90 Competition (pre-hybrid V8): This generation is frequently cited as the "last good M5," praised for its reliability relative to the V10, monstrous performance from its twin-turbo V8, and attractive design. It is seen as a peak of the traditional M5 formula before the added weight and complexity of the hybrid G90. The Competition package is implicitly favored for its enhanced dynamics.
Competitors to consider
Owners compare it most often with the Mercedes-AMG E63, Audi RS6, Porsche Taycan, Audi RS e-tron GT and Porsche 911 (992) GTS/Turbo S.

Overall sentiment
Sentiment is sharply divided by generation and is heavily influenced by ownership costs. The E60 generation (V10 S85 engine) is universally described as an unreliable "money pit" and "heap of junk" with catastrophic engine failure risks, particularly concerning rod bearings, leading to extremely high maintenance costs. The F90 generation (V8 S63 engine) receives a more positive reception for its brutal performance, all-wheel drive capability, and modern luxury, but is still acknowledged as a very expensive vehicle to maintain properly. The latest G90 generation (hybrid PHEV) faces significant criticism for being overly heavy, numb in feel due to its hybrid systems and regenerative braking, and for having quality control issues. Across all generations, the M5 is revered for its incredible straight-line speed, highway cruising ability, and status as a performance icon, but owner satisfaction is contingent on having a substantial budget for upkeep and repairs.
Positioning vs competitors
Positioned as the ultimate high-performance luxury sedan, often compared directly with the Mercedes-AMG E63 and Audi RS6. The E63 is noted for its superior V8 character and interior comfort in older models, while the RS6 is favored for its wagon practicality. Against electric competitors like the Porsche Taycan and Audi RS e-tron GT, the M5 is seen as the traditionalist's choice but is acknowledged to be slower in straight-line acceleration. Compared to sports cars like the Porsche 911 or Audi R8, the M5 is valued for its daily usability and four-door practicality despite similar price points. The consensus is that the M5 offers a unique blend of supercar performance and sedan functionality that few direct competitors match.
Recommended configurations
Insufficient owner data available to specify recommended packages or options. However, there is a strong, recurrent emphasis on purchasing an extended manufacturer warranty or BMW protection plan, especially for the E60 V10 and complex newer models. All-wheel drive is noted as beneficial for traction given the power output.
General recommendations
Only suitable for owners with a significant and dedicated maintenance/repair budget; it is explicitly "not a car for the faint at heart or someone looking for a cheap ownership experience." A pre-purchase inspection (PPI) by a specialist is considered mandatory, particularly for used V10 models, to uncover hidden issues like previous engine rebuilds. For daily driving, the F90 generation is considered more viable than the E60, but owners must be prepared for costs far exceeding those of mainstream luxury brands. Leasing or buying with a comprehensive warranty is strongly advised to mitigate financial risk from major repairs. Not recommended as a primary vehicle for those with tight budgets or low risk tolerance.
Remarks
The owner experience is fundamentally defined by a trade-off between transcendent performance and punishing ownership costs. The E60 V10's legendary status is inextricably linked to its notorious unreliability, making it a specialist's car only. The F90 V8 is viewed as a modern classic that is relatively more reliable but still demands deep pockets. The new G90 hybrid is perceived by many enthusiasts as a compromised direction, adding weight and complexity to meet regulations, which has alienated a portion of the traditional M5 buyer base. Much of the critical feedback stems from automotive journalists and dedicated enthusiasts, indicating a high bar for driver engagement. Analysis based on commentary spanning multiple generations, with the E60 and F90 receiving the most detailed owner experiences.
