Used exhaust systems vary between vehicles - and whether you call it used, second hand or a replacement, matching the right one matters. These are the details breakers need to match the right part to your car - our request form asks them so you only hear from suppliers with the correct part:
No — the E60 M5 (2005–2010) used a 5.0-litre V10 (S85) engine, while the F10 M5 (2011–2017) moved to a 4.4-litre twin-turbocharged V8 (S63), so the exhaust systems are completely different in design, routing, and fitment points and will not interchange. Always confirm exact part compatibility with the breaker against your registration.
The F10 M5 ran from 2011 to 2017 and used the S63 V8 throughout its production, so exhausts from within this generation are generally considered compatible — however, later F10 M5 Competition models may have subtle differences, so confirm the specific part against your registration with the breaker before buying.
No — the M5 uses the S63 twin-turbo V8 with its own unique exhaust manifolds, pipe routing, and rear valance cut-outs, which differ substantially from the N55 or N63 engines found in the 535i and 550i, so the parts do not transfer across. Always check against your registration with the breaker.
Trim level does not fundamentally affect exhaust fitment on the F10 M5, as both the standard M5 and M5 Competition share the same S63 engine and exhaust architecture; however, the Competition model's exhaust valves or tailpipe finish may differ cosmetically, so you could end up with a visual mismatch even if the system physically fits. Confirm the exact specification with the breaker against your registration.
The F10 M5 received a facelift in 2014 but retained the S63 V8 engine, meaning the exhaust systems are generally compatible across that boundary — that said, whether a specific used system from before or after 2014 will drop straight in should be confirmed with the breaker against your registration, as minor changes can occur mid-cycle.
For MOT purposes the key concern is that the catalytic converters and any associated emissions components match what was originally fitted to your car for its registration year and Euro emissions standard — a system from the wrong era could cause an emissions failure even if it physically fits. Questions about catalytic converter and DPF specifics are strong confirm-with-breaker territory, so have the breaker check the part against your registration before you commit.
