Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.
The 2023 model year is not yet represented in the NHTSA federal database—the record terminates at 2022—making a direct assessment of 2023 complaints impossible. However, the trend across the preceding generation (2013–2022) shows a clear improvement arc: complaints fell from 10 in 2013 to just 1 in 2022, recalls dropped from 2 to 0, and TSBs decreased dramatically from 383 to 51, indicating increasing maturity and refinement of the platform. The 2022 data shows the lowest complaint volume and zero recalls in the dataset, suggesting the generation had reached a high level of reliability by its final recorded year. For the 2023 M5 specifically, the target_year_top_complaint_areas indicate only one complaint filed, related to structure/other (unspecified), with zero crash-related and zero fire-related complaints. Takeaway: While the 2023 model year lacks complete NHTSA filing data, the trajectory suggests it inherits a well-resolved platform; buyers should verify that any outstanding manufacturer warranties or recall campaigns from 2022 have been addressed, but the historical pattern does not signal elevated risk.
