A used fuel injector that fits one vehicle won't always fit another - even within the same model range. These questions help breakers match stock to your exact vehicle before they quote:
All BMW M5 generations have been petrol-injected from the start, so fuel injectors are a genuine and essential part on every M5 ever made — from the original E28 M5 right through to the current F90 generation. There has never been a carburettor or diesel M5 variant sold in the UK. You are looking for the right part on the right car.
No — these are completely different engines and the injectors will not interchange. The E39 M5 uses the S62 V8, while the E60 M5 uses the high-revving S85 V10, and the injector specifications, fitment, and fuel rail design are entirely different between them. Always match the injector to the engine code, not the M5 badge, and confirm the exact code against your V5 or a VIN check before ordering from a breaker.
The engine code matters above everything else for fuel injectors — it determines the injector type, flow rate, and physical fitment. For example, the F10 M5 (2011–2016) and its Competition variant share the S63 twin-turbo V8, but mid-production engineering changes mean injector specifications can vary even within that generation, so confirm the exact engine code with the breaker against your registration. Searching by year alone risks ordering an incompatible injector, especially across facelift boundaries.
The F10 M5 ran from 2011 to 2016 with a facelift introduced in 2014, and both used the S63 V8 engine, so injectors are potentially compatible across that boundary. However, ancillary and mounting changes can occur mid-production even when the core engine code stays the same, so whether a specific pre-facelift injector crosses cleanly to a post-facelift car is something you should confirm with the breaker against your registration number. Never assume fitment just because the engine code matches on paper.
Trim level does not affect fuel injector fitment on the M5 — the Competition pack is a chassis and software upgrade, not a different engine, so both standard M5 and M5 Competition variants within the same generation share the same engine code and use the same injectors. You may find cosmetic differences between cars stripped by a breaker, such as different interior or exterior trim pieces, but the injectors themselves are determined purely by the engine code. Confirm the engine code with the breaker and ignore the trim badge when sourcing this part.
Some modern BMW M5 injectors do carry individual calibration data, and whether a used injector requires coding or pairing to your ECU depends on the specific generation and how your car's fuel management system works. This is an area where we'd recommend you confirm the situation with the breaker and your fitting garage before buying, as ECU pairing and immobiliser-related coding requirements are not something we can state as fact for your specific car. A good independent BMW specialist or the breaker themselves will be able to advise based on your registration.
