Is the 2014 BMW X5 a good car?

Yes — owners give it 5/5, and the expert rating is 8.17/10.

The model scores 9/10 across Look and feel, Performance, and Technology.

Is the 2014 BMW X5 reliable?

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

Owners also describe it as a vehicle they appreciate for its overall quality and confidence-inspiring ownership experience, while noting heavy oil usage as a drawback.

BMW’s own performance tuning and the X5’s premium hardware suggest a well-engineered SUV, and the warranty coverage adds some reassurance for used buyers.

For a used example, your biggest long-term ownership risk is finding one that has been poorly maintained or driven hard.

What should I look for when buying a used 2014 BMW X5?

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

You should start with a vehicle history report and then prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially on higher-mileage or heavily optioned examples. Pay close attention to signs of prior bodywork, uneven panel gaps, and wear that doesn’t match the odometer. Because this is a premium SUV, condition matters as much as mileage.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The base sDrive35i has the least amount of goodies and lacks the road-gripping power of xDrive AWD. The xDrive35i adds AWD, while the xDrive35d brings diesel torque and strong highway fuel economy. The xDrive50i adds V8 power and more performance, but it also pushes the X5 deeper into expensive territory.
• Powertrain: The lineup includes a turbocharged 3.0-liter inline 6-cylinder with 300 horsepower, a 3.0-liter diesel with 255 horsepower and 413 pound-feet of torque, and a 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 with 445 horsepower and 480 pound-feet of torque. Fuel economy ranges from 19/27 for the sDrive35i to 23/31 for the diesel, while the V8 returns 14 mpg city/22 highway.
• Safety package: The X5 includes a full complement of front and side impact airbags, plus a vivid backup camera with directional guides. The large screen can also show multiple displays at once, which helps with visibility and vehicle monitoring.
• Infotainment: The cabin centers on a massive 10.2-inch iDrive screen with rotary-dial control and Bluetooth-connected phone integration. It also supports touch-sensitive character entry for navigation input.
• Fuel efficiency: The sDrive35i returns 19/27 mpg, the xDrive35i gets 18/27 mpg, the diesel xDrive35d returns 23/31 mpg, and the xDrive50i is listed at 14 mpg city/22 highway.

Which 2014 BMW X5 trim should I buy?

The 2014 BMW X5 is offered in 4 trim levels: sDrive35i, xDrive35i, xDrive35d, xDrive50i.

Here's the short version:

• Base trim: The sDrive35i is the least expensive X5, but it has the least amount of goodies and lacks AWD.
• Sweet-spot trim: The xDrive35d stands out for blending torque and fuel economy, making it the most balanced choice for many shoppers.
• Premium/top trim: The xDrive50i delivers the strongest performance, with 445 horsepower and 480 pound-feet of torque, but it comes with the highest fuel and ownership costs.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2014 BMW X5?

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop carefully and still find worthwhile examples.

• Deal availability: 31.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 872 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 10.58% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 60.9% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $11,844.40, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2014 BMW X5's resale value?

The current average of $11,923 sits slightly below last year's $13,333.

That softer pricing can help you buy in at a more favorable point, but it also means future resale gains may be limited if the market stays under pressure. If you plan to sell later, condition and maintenance history will matter even more than usual. A clean, well-kept example should hold buyer interest better than one with visible wear or accident history.

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

Is the 2014 BMW X5 safe?

It earns an 8/10 safety score from our experts.

The X5 includes a full complement of front and side impact airbags, plus a vivid backup camera with directional guides to help you see behind the vehicle more clearly. The large iDrive screen also supports split-screen viewing, which can help you monitor navigation and vehicle status at the same time.

For used buyers, the main safety advantage is the combination of visibility aids and standard airbag coverage. The main caution is to verify that any camera, display, or driver-interface features are working properly on the specific vehicle you’re considering.

Should I buy a 2014 BMW X5 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 10.58% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• It marks the first year of the third-generation X5, with a more elegant cabin and a much improved iDrive system.

Consider the 2015 if:

• At $12,887, the 2015 costs more than the current year's $11,923 average.
• It brings a refreshed take on BMW’s sporty SUV formula.

The bottom line: If you want the lower entry price and strong owner satisfaction, the 2014 is the better value play. If you’re willing to spend more for a newer model-year alternative, the 2015 is the cleaner comparison point for shoppers who prioritize freshness over savings.
