BMW M5 Fuel Pump Replacement Parts

Yes, every BMW M5 across all generations runs a petrol engine and uses a fuel pump to deliver fuel from the tank to the engine, so it is a genuine and common part to source from a breaker. All M5 variants — from the E28 through to the current F90 — are petrol-powered, meaning the fuel pump is always present regardless of the generation. Because later turbocharged generations (F10 M5 onwards) also use a high-pressure direct-injection pump in addition to the low-pressure in-tank pump, make sure you tell the breaker which pump you need and supply your registration or engine code.

Both the 2012 and 2014 M5 fall within the F10 generation (2011–2016), which uses the S63 twin-turbocharged 4.4-litre V8 engine, so the engine code is the same and the pumps are likely to be compatible. However, there was a notable update to the S63 engine mid-production — known internally as the S63TU — and ancillary components including fuel system parts can differ between early and revised units, so you should not assume all F10 M5 fuel pumps interchange freely. Give the breaker your exact engine code from your V5 or a VIN check and let them confirm the part matches before purchasing.

Yes, these are completely different generations with completely different engines — the E39 M5 uses the S62 naturally aspirated 4.9-litre V8, while the E60 M5 uses the S85 naturally aspirated 5.0-litre V10 — so their fuel pumps are not interchangeable. Both engines are naturally aspirated and use a conventional single fuel pump system rather than the dual-pump setup found on later turbocharged M5s, but the specific pump, flow rate, and fitment will differ between the two. Always quote your engine code to the breaker rather than relying on the generation name alone.

The Competition variant of the F10 and F90 M5 shares the same engine as the standard M5 in each generation (S63TU in the F10, S63M in the F90), so the Competition badge alone does not affect which fuel pump is fitted. Trim level and badging do not determine fuel system specification — engine code is what matters, and a standard M5 and an M5 Competition with the same engine code will use the same pump. Confirm the engine code with the breaker against your registration to be certain.

These are different generations with different engine codes — the F10 uses the S63TU and the F90 uses the S63M — so the fuel pumps are not a straightforward swap and should be treated as non-interchangeable. The F90 also introduced further refinements to the high-pressure fuel delivery system, meaning even the low-pressure and high-pressure pump specifications may differ from the F10. Do not attempt to cross parts across this generation boundary without the breaker confirming compatibility against both engine codes.

From the F10 generation (2011–2016) onwards, turbocharged M5s with direct injection use two fuel pumps: a low-pressure in-tank lift pump and a high-pressure pump driven off the engine, and you need to identify which one has failed before sourcing a replacement. Earlier naturally aspirated M5s — the E28, E34, E39, and E60 — typically use a single in-tank fuel pump, making the question simpler for those generations. Tell the breaker which pump you need (in-tank or high-pressure) along with your engine code and registration, as pricing and availability differ significantly between the two.
