Hows Reliability been for owners of more than a year?

Demon Barber · 06-18-2019, 01:55 PM

If you don't plan on tracking the car, the CCB are amazing and well worth the price. Quiet, dust free, extremely responsive, crazy long life for street driving. If you're going to track the car, steel is the way to go as they are not that expensive to replace, but they will squeal without aftermarket pads. I've had no issues with the car now at 13 months, except the driver's seat feeling loose, which was fixed. I have a few mild rattles on very rough roads. Phenomenal car overall.

Brake pads are ONLY available from the dealer suitable for track (so far). And the pads are NOT THAT BAD for track. They squeal something terrible on the street, but that's because they aren't that bad for track. Need something that squeals worse for track.

Thanks Shawn. Do you have the ceramic or iron brakes?

I have the metal brakes. My prediction is that the ceramics would be a murder scene in a year or two of track use.

Almost choked on my drink laughing at this post...

12 months, 6000 miles. Only had to add oil once. Amazing vehicle!

jc16 · 06-19-2019, 09:59 PM

1 and half months 3000km got drivesaft noise which they fixed and currently in service for engine knock on cold starts. Apparently they confirmed the noise, pulled the valve covers off to check the lifters and parts. lastly squeaky brakes. besides that been an amazing car.

If you don’t track it, for sure. If you track your car, CCB are way too expensive to be replacing every 4 or 5 track days.

Yes how would you like to drop 30 or 40k every year on breaks every year!!

GP03 · 06-20-2019, 05:26 PM

I just got a CEL and drivetrain malfunction 2 days ago at 3,800 miles 🤦🏽*♂️
Taking it in to get checked tomorrow.

But what if something goes wrong, then your warranty is void isn't it?

Yes!

15 months. Save for known recalls, zero issues.

Hashtag_M_Rated · 06-25-2019, 08:14 AM

Just turned a year old, I have around 8000 miles now. 1 recall that was done at port before picking it up from the dealer after my ED.
Zero issues, Just had my first service earlier this month.

Greer · 06-26-2019, 03:57 PM

I have had my 2019 M5 Competition for over 8 months and no issues.

Munchi435i · 12-24-2020, 07:46 AM

Considering a f90 M5 in the next couple of years. Bumping this thread for some updates on how everyone's car is holding up.

So far I've gathered that the brakes squeak.

I had two of them for roughly 16,000 miles a piece—no issues beyond brake squeal.

josec70 · 12-24-2020, 09:48 AM

2+ years and 13k on 19' MSC ... I have a minor issue where the car turns off at start-up .. car has to have been driven for a bit, shutoff and then restarted 20-30 minutes later.

This happens a couple of times a year and the car starts perfectly on the 2nd attempt.

Tried to replicate for dealer but was not successful .. I believe this is fuel pump related but tbh it's not a big deal.

Wrighterjw10 · 12-24-2020, 10:38 AM

1 year, 4.5k miles

Had to add coolant. Besides sounding like an old Rusty school bus when I stop, no other issues.

I really wish my 127k car wasn’t so embarrassing when parking at a nice restaurant. Such is like with the f90. Yes I know the brakes aren’t your average Honda brakes, but it’s still annoying and embarrassing.

shellbmb · 12-24-2020, 11:32 AM

2018 Base. 17k miles. No issues.

Brake squeal is a "feature" of this car. Not an issue. Had it on the F10 so I fully expected it on the F90. With my style of driving, which is mostly city with light braking, it's going to happen. Just doesn't bother me anymore. Having said that, I will opt for CCB on my next M car simply for the lack of brake dust.

pcai · 12-24-2020, 06:23 PM

2019 3100 miles. Brake squeal; a little rattle/buzzing sound sometimes evident in the cabin; climate control screen starting to develop cracks on the edges; front doors have a little creaky sound when you move them (open close). The dealer tried to fix the door creak twice but it still creaks a little, but it's pretty minor. No mechanical issues (yet) but there's warranty for that

. I agree the brake squeal is more of a "feature" than an issue. Just imagine you're living the racecar lifestyle. On the whole a solid car, but the cabin trim pieces do make a lot of cracking noises when you press on them, and the random rattle/buzz when you're driving is unexpected from a car like this.

MysticBlue · 12-25-2020, 12:19 AM

A year and a month, no problems. I haven't had any brake squeal. No rattles. 2 recalls were taken care of during regular oil service, so no problem for me. It's been virtually perfect.

GTATX · 12-25-2020, 02:37 AM

32k miles almost 2 years no issues with stage 1 & 2 tune.

bubbaboy · 12-25-2020, 10:08 AM

Roughly 18mo on my 2019 and only issue was low coolant, dealership said there was a leak and repaired it.
