BMW F90 M5 Buyers Guide

[@-Zabs]

Just bought my 21 M5 Comp, Been enjoying so much!

[@WhatsyourForte]

It is a great car

[@sqwizzy933]

I can see the tears behind the screen

[@willymack5677]

I’ve got a 2020 Comp. Didn’t realize that it got an updated transmission! I do prefer the dashboard on your model rather than the pure digital display.

[@WhatsyourForte]

Yeah most people don’t know about it.. it was kinda one of those unknown benefits. I did not know it until after I got mine.

[@DariusClaxton]

Im looking to buy a 18-19 M5 within the next 6 months. Super excited!

[@WhatsyourForte]

Good choice!

[@corrieharris774]

Just got a f10 M5, money was long enough for a F90🤣🤣 but maannnn love this thing already!!

[@MarcoTLX]

It’s all good man, the F10 M5 is a great choice too still got a nice powerful turbocharged V8. 🔥

[@WhatsyourForte]

Yeah bro the S63 is a beast

[@stgawo]

Just purchased a 2018 M5 first addition F90. 17,000 miles on it. Drives like a rocket! Thanks for the great info!

[@WhatsyourForte]

Congrats on that. Enjoy it

Appreciate the info in the video. I just bought a 19 F90 M5 about a week ago and not even 24 hours went by before I got a Drive Train Malfunction issue. Turns out it had the leaky coolant tank and it was already replaced once along with the coils being changed out 3 times previously. I took it right back to the dealer to have them fix it. I purchased a bumper-to-bumper warranty to avoid any future issues that may arise. All in all it's a fantastic car and I'm so ready for the dealer to call me once it's done so I can actually enjoy it.

[@WhatsyourForte]

Dang man… at least you caught it early…. Once you get it back… drive the heck out of it 😂

[@kylan813]

@@WhatsyourForte Thanks. I got it back a couple of weeks ago. I've definitely been enjoying it. Already ordered the MAD secondary catless DP's. I want to couple that with the Dinan X pipe. Can't wait til the parts come in.

[@terrancejackson5167]

Great video Matt ! Some known problems that happened to me on my 2020 f90 was engine misfires due to a bad fuel injector and a bad transfer case. My vehicle was not modded when this happened.

[@av8743]

Odd for a stock f90 to be doing that. Did they ever figure out why?

[@WhatsyourForte]

There is very weird. First I have heard of an F90 doing that

[@CGtrades]

Was probably modded previously

[@terrancejackson5167]

The car was never modded, I literally said that earlier. It had very low compression causing the misfires. The transfer case is a pretty known issue for guys who really drive this car.

[@WhatsyourForte]

@@terrancejackson5167 i have not heard of transfer case issues on stock cars… unless the wheel and tire setups are too aggressive and outside of tolerance.

[@amyers7521]

Great info man. Currently thinking of trading my F80 for either F90, G80 or CT5-V so all this was really helpful.

[@WhatsyourForte]

Glad it helped!

[@brutal4000]

Recently sold f80, was looking into g80 and f90, finally just bought f90. Looks like same as yours, 2019 comp.

[@ebspeed]

Most 2020's can use the OEM Head unit from the LCI's, basically plug n play.

[@WhatsyourForte]

Yeah I saw that on the forums

[@BarryintheM]

Very informative video James, great job. Thinking of swapping my G80 for the F90

[@WhatsyourForte]

Glad it was helpful! The F90 is a great car… do it

[@josejay4818]

This was very helpful. Going for 22 M5 Comp

[@WhatsyourForte]

Glad I could help

[@Respect_N55]

Learning for my dream F90 🥹🤣

[@WhatsyourForte]

Dreams to reality bro 💪🏽

[@brandonchism6960]

good info man!!!

[@WhatsyourForte]

Appreciate it!

[@cyan2956]

Planning on getting an m5 next year can’t wait

[@WhatsyourForte]

It’s the GOAT

[@schm3ez]

Great video, very informative. Thanks boss 🦾

[@WhatsyourForte]

Anytime

[@titochaidez-martinez365]

Thanks brother! 🤙🏽 looking to get a 2020 comp after this video

[@WhatsyourForte]

Yeah those are the best ones to buy

[@MarcoTLX]

Been watching a couple of your M5 videos and this one couldn’t have came at a better time! I currently have a TLX Type-S and I am pretty inclined to trade up for an F90 M5 in the coming months. Your video is really helpful! Never knew the 2018 didn’t have a Competition trim level. I’m set on getting a 2020 or newer M5 Comp that’s got optioned up (though I prefer a 2021+ LCI, but I won’t turn down an amazing deal on a well optioned 2020 F90 Comp should I come across one) I figure based off the two main issues you mentioned with the F90s I should definitely get a really good extended/3rd party powertrain warranty. Thanks for the informative video Forte, will be test driving some M5s this summer.

[@WhatsyourForte]

Glad it helped. Be careful on some third party warranties as they may not cover anything. If you address the issues early you should not have a problem in the future

[@tubejorrit]

Hoping to trade up from a C63s to a M5 next year, going for a non-comp 2018/2019 model.

[@demeekojonesjr6120]

Ram fam we gotta link . I’m new to the car game . Picking up my m5 Saturday!

[@WhatsyourForte]

Hit me up on IG, _whatsyourforte

[@InspiredCarguy]

Can I ask what’s the best fast M you suggest

[@WhatsyourForte]

Depends on price and budget… what’s your budget?

[@InspiredCarguy]

@@WhatsyourForte can I work with 60k

[@Xeross25]

Also the Coolant expansion tank is now recalled so make sure its already done or get it done !

[@WhatsyourForte]

Yep

[@dwayneharrigan2889]

Matt...thanks for this video brother. Sometimes (rarely), my '19 Competition's idle dips like it wants to cut out upon starting, but then she catches herself. I was wondering if it was a fuel issue....just bought the car too. I may wait until it gets more severe, but it's not really an issue now unless you advise me otherwise.

[@WhatsyourForte]

Mine started like that… then after a few months would cut off… I would just video it happening just so you can have proof when it is time to replace

[@mrbleach4609]

Is there anyway to find out if one was tuned and reverted to stock prior to buying.

[@homanmaster]

Great information! 100% accurate

[@WhatsyourForte]

Thanks bro

[@bowenwang5171]

Very helpful video! Thanks!!

[@WhatsyourForte]

Glad it was helpful!

[@moeviewz]

Great advice!

[@WhatsyourForte]

Thanks

[@01AudioVideo01]

I'm surprised a "low fuel pressure" code was not recorded.

[@WhatsyourForte]

Yeah it was very weird… you would think that it would with how sensitive BMWs are

[@nigels6786]

Is it hard to get a warranty on it? Aftermarket?

[@frankrosado1916]

Thank you!

[@WhatsyourForte]

You're welcome!

[@Marc2k6]

When are you going to get another BMW?

[@WhatsyourForte]

Once my house is finished being built

[@Mth3sis]

Buy ext warranty 😅. I have f90 m5 with warranty until jan 2027 or 100k miles. I sold it to myself because I work at BMW. Hit me up for a deal.

[@WhatsyourForte]

For the DIY people, if you stay up on your maintenance and address the big 2 items you should be good… the only other major thing once you get close to 100k would be rod bearings… not sure if warranties will cover those

[@MA-dn5fi]

How we contact you

Damn that is wild… they gotta put better products in these expensive cars

[@sanchilandscapedesign6316]

How much is it to replace at a dealership? Or diy?

[@WhatsyourForte]

@@sanchilandscapedesign6316 definitely can do it DIY… I had mine covered under warranty so not sure on dealer cost

Wanna sell my m5 Comp 2021 for a Z06 C7

Well the wheels in the pic are Vossen wheels

[@bigmixx]

Dealing with a coolant tank leak issue now. Happened before I bought the car and it was not properly repaired. Coolant damaged all injectors and coils on the driver side. Dealer only replaced the tank. Now I have a $3600 repair bill that I’m fighting with BMW Corp now.

[@WhatsyourForte]

Yeah I would fight as I had many buddies get their injectors fixed during the recall

[@chris2320]

I’d be happy with a stock m5 or maybe just a few basic mods. Haha

[@BeonyAndrianasoloniaina]

Be careful of the wannabe tuner people or newer tuner those engine need people who knows how to tine them correctly.. my body had his blown by a tuner vader performance

[@jet613]

I just need to make more money and put it away for a car like this used lol. Jeeeeez

[@WhatsyourForte]

Hahha yeah bro it took me a while to be able to afford one… you got it
