Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.

Fast M5s punish transmissions. E60 SMG hydraulic components, F10 DCT heat stress, and even later automatic driveline components all suffer if the car has been launched repeatedly.
- Coolant / Turbo Cooling Leaks(Moderate)
Turbocharged M5s can develop coolant leaks around expansion tanks, turbo cooling lines, and front heat exchangers. Repeated low-coolant warnings are common on neglected cars.
