BMW M5 Oil Pump Replacement Parts

Every BMW M5 across all generations has an oil pump — it is a fundamental internal engine component present on all petrol engines used in the M5, from the S38 straight-six in the E28 and E34 through to the S63 twin-turbo V8 in the F90 generation. There are no M5 variants without one, so sourcing a used oil pump is a straightforward search regardless of which generation you own. What does vary significantly is the pump design, location, and specification, which are tied closely to the engine code rather than the model year badge alone.

No — the E39 M5 (1998–2003) uses the S62 naturally aspirated V8, while the E60 M5 (2005–2010) uses the S85 naturally aspirated V10; these are entirely different engines with different oil pump designs and they do not interchange. Your engine code, which you can find on your V5C or via a VIN check, is the critical detail to give a breaker when sourcing a replacement. Never assume fitment based on the M5 badge alone across these generations.

Yes — the F10 M5 (2011–2016, with a Competition model from 2014) uses the S63B44T0 twin-turbo V8, while the F90 M5 (2017 onwards) uses an updated S63 unit; despite both being S63 family engines the specifications and ancillary components differ between generations. You should supply your exact engine code to the breaker rather than just quoting the F10 or F90 generation, as internal revisions within these production runs can affect which pump variant was fitted. Always confirm against your registration with the breaker before purchasing.

Both years sit within the E60 M5 generation (2005–2010) and both use the S85 V10 engine, so there is a reasonable basis for compatibility, but mid-production ancillary and mounting changes can occur within a generation that are not always reflected in the model year. Give the breaker both your engine code and your full registration so they can cross-reference accurately before you commit to buying.

Trim level does not affect oil pump fitment — the Competition designation on models like the F10 and F90 M5 relates to suspension, exhaust, and chassis tuning rather than any change to the engine's lubrication system. Both standard and Competition variants share the same engine code and therefore the same oil pump specification. You may find cosmetic or ancillary differences around the engine bay between trim levels, but the pump itself is determined by the engine code, not the badge on the boot lid.

The single most useful piece of information is your engine code, which can be found on your V5C logbook or via a VIN decoder — for example S62, S85, S63, or S38 depending on your generation. Alongside that, give the breaker your full registration number, the model year, and the generation name (E28, E34, E39, E60, F10, or F90) so they can cross-reference their stock accurately. Fuel type is petrol across all M5 generations, but the gearbox type (manual, SMG, DCT, or torque-converter automatic depending on generation) can occasionally be relevant to ancillary components, so mention that too.
