How much does the 2014 BMW 5 Series cost?

Prices have softened 5.71% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 815 listings available, which gives you a solid amount of inventory to compare.

Is the 2014 BMW 5 Series a good car?

Yes — the 2014 BMW 5 Series earns a 4.55/5 user rating, which points to strong owner satisfaction overall. Drivers commonly praise its smooth and comfortable ride, its performance, and its interior features. For you, that means it fits best if you want a refined midsize luxury sedan with real road feel rather than a purely soft cruiser. With 31.9% of listings marked as good or great deals, you also have a decent chance of finding attractive pricing.

Is the 2014 BMW 5 Series reliable?

Owners rate it 4.55/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

User feedback is mixed on reliability, with some owners calling out issues tied to power and durability while others focus on the car’s comfort and performance. That split suggests you should approach a used example with a careful inspection mindset, especially if you want to minimize long-term ownership risk.

What should I look for when buying a used 2014 BMW 5 Series?

At 60.9% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.

Start with a vehicle history report so you can separate clean examples from cars with accident records or repeated claims. Then prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, with extra attention on mechanical condition, maintenance history, and any signs of wear that could affect ownership costs. Because owner feedback mentions durability concerns, you should focus less on cosmetics alone and more on how well the car has been maintained.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2014 BMW 5 Series?

This is a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop patiently and still find worthwhile options.

• Deal availability: 31.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 815 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 5.71% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 60.9% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $10,679, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2014 BMW 5 Series's resale value?

The current average of $10,706 sits slightly below last year's $11,354.

That softer pricing trend suggests the market has already adjusted downward, which can limit how much value you recover later if you buy at the wrong price. If you plan to sell in a few years, condition and maintenance history will matter a lot, because well-kept examples should stand out more clearly in a market where prices have already eased. Buying carefully now gives you a better chance of preserving value later.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.55/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Should I buy a 2014 BMW 5 Series or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2014 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2014 if:

• 31.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 60.9% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 5.71% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.55/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.

The bottom line: You should start with the 2014 if you want a well-equipped luxury sedan at a softened price and you’re willing to screen listings carefully for condition and history. If you’re especially price-sensitive, a nearby year may still be worth comparing, but the 2014 is the better starting point when you want a balance of value, comfort, and owner satisfaction.
