This 2023 BMW M5 Competition is a last-of-the-line F90 in a genuinely rare specification: special-order Individual Twilight Purple over Silverstone, with a carbon roof and M Performance carbon trim. Under the hood is the 617-horsepower S63 V8 with M xDrive, lightly breathed on with an intake and exhaust. It stickered at $143,445 and shows 29,000 miles. The color will decide how some buyers feel, but the damage note and the lien are what need attention.

What it’s worth right now
Classic.com tracks the F90 M5 Competition market, where recorded sales have ranged from a low near $37,501 for an early 2019 car to around $115,000 for a special 2022 50th Anniversary, with the broader F90 M5 averaging roughly $92,999 once the rare CS variant is included. For an ordinary 2023 Competition, the relevant band is narrower, and current used listings for cars in the high-20,000 to low-40,000-mile range generally sit in the $65,000 to $85,000 area.
This car brings a few things that cut both ways. The special-order Individual color and carbon options add appeal and cost when new, but the aftermarket intake and exhaust, plus a disclosed minor-damage entry, will make some buyers more cautious even as others reward the rare spec. Net, those factors roughly offset.

Given the mileage and the mixed factors, I would call fair value roughly $68,000 to $82,000. The current $55,000 bid with four bids and four days remaining is below that and likely to climb, and how far it goes may hinge on whether two bidders decide the Twilight Purple spec is worth chasing.
Condition and details
The specification is the draw. This is a special-order Individual Twilight Purple car over Silverstone Merino leather, optioned with the Competition, Executive, and Driving Assistance Pro packages, M Performance carbon exterior trim, and a carbon roof. The seller reports a ceramic coating and front paint protection film, fresh Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S tires fitted in April 2026, and an oil change in March 2026. The bolt-on modifications are a MAD front-mount intake and an AWE axle-back exhaust, and the seller states there is no tune and the factory warranty remains intact.

The disclosures are handled openly, which is what you want. A March 2024 Carfax entry notes minor damage, and the seller clarifies that the front lip was replaced through an insurance claim with no paint work, and that the current front splitter is an aftermarket piece rather than the factory carbon unit listed on the window sticker. Those are reasonable explanations, but I would ask for the repair documentation and photos, and confirm whether the original carbon splitter conveys, since it appears on the sticker.

The item to plan around financially is the title. There is an active lien on the car, and the seller’s lender must be paid off before the title can transfer. Bring a Trailer Verified Checkout is available for this listing, which can help streamline a lien payoff and title transfer, but a buyer should still confirm the payoff figure and the mechanics in writing before funding. On the mechanical side, a 29,000-mile S63 should be early in its life, but confirm service history and that the mods have not affected the warranty status as claimed.

What makes the F90 M5 Competition unique
The F90 M5 Competition is the sharpened version of the sixth-generation M5, and it represents the end of an era in two ways. It was the M5 that finally added all-wheel drive, with M xDrive that can still send everything to the rear when asked, and it closed out the F90 generation’s run of the twin-turbo S63 V8 before the current hybrid M5 arrived. The Competition added a lower ride height, retuned suspension, a freer exhaust, and 617 horsepower, making it a genuine four-door supercar that also works as a daily driver.

What makes this particular car stand out is the specification. BMW’s Individual program produced this Twilight Purple finish as a special order, and a factory carbon roof plus M Performance carbon trim were not universal choices, so the combination is uncommon. Rare colors on M cars tend to divide opinion, which is exactly the dynamic the listing comments show, but the buyers who want a standout spec are also the ones willing to pay for it, and that is what can lift a well-kept, unusually specified example above an ordinary black or gray car.
My take
This is one of the more interesting F90 M5 Competitions to come up lately, mostly because of the color and carbon spec, and it looks like solid value if the disclosures check out. My fair-value call is $68,000 to $82,000, and I would be comfortable being active into the middle of that for a car with clean repair documentation and confirmed warranty status.
The buying advice is about the disclosures and the paperwork. Get the details and photos of the 2024 insurance repair, confirm whether the original carbon splitter is included, verify the no-tune and intact-warranty claims, and sort out the lien payoff and title transfer, using Verified Checkout if it helps. Handle those, and the current $55,000 bid still has room to run toward a rare-spec M5 that should hold interest precisely because it is not another anonymous one.
