A used water pump 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:
No – the E60 M5 (2005–2010) uses the S85 V10 naturally aspirated engine, while the F10 M5 (2011–2016) uses the S63 twin-turbocharged V8, so these are completely different engines with different cooling systems and the water pumps will not interchange. Engine code is the deciding factor here, not the M5 badge. Always confirm the exact engine code from your V5 or a VIN check and supply it to the breaker when requesting a quote.
Yes, all BMW M5 generations have a water pump as part of the engine cooling system, though the design varies by generation – the S85 V10 in the E60 uses a mechanically driven pump, while the S63 in the F10 and F90 generations uses an electrically driven auxiliary pump alongside the main pump. This means it is essential to confirm your exact engine code and build year with the breaker, as the type and mounting of the pump can differ even within the same generation. A used pump sourced to your specific engine code is the right approach.
Both sit within the F10 M5 generation (2011–2016) and share the S63B44 engine, so in principle the pumps should be compatible, but ancillary and mounting changes can occur mid-production without a formal facelift. Supply your full engine code and registration to the breaker and ask them to confirm against your specific build date before buying.
Trim level does not affect water pump fitment – what matters is the engine code, not whether the car is a standard M5 or an M5 Competition. The Competition package on models like the F90 M5 (2018–present) changes suspension, software, and cosmetic details but not the fundamental engine architecture or cooling system components. Confirm your engine code with the breaker and ignore the trim designation when sourcing this part.
Unlikely, as the F90 M5 (2018–present) uses a revised version of the S63 engine compared to the F10, and cooling system components are not guaranteed to carry over across that generation boundary. Both generations are S63-based but internal and ancillary specifications changed between the F10 and F90. Give the breaker your exact engine code and registration so they can confirm compatibility rather than assuming the shared engine family means the parts are interchangeable.
Body style has no effect on water pump fitment – this is a purely mechanical part that follows the engine code. What matters is your engine code, fuel type, and build year, not the body configuration. Confirm your engine code with the breaker and they will be able to match the correct pump to your vehicle.
