Why it stands out
The 2016 BMW 5 Series stands out as a midsize luxury sedan that still puts a premium on performance, even as it leans more toward comfort and refinement than the sharper BMWs of the past. In this generation, BMW offered a range of engines and drivetrains, including rear-wheel drive and xDrive all-wheel drive on select models, along with an eight-speed automatic transmission. The lineup also included the 528i, 535i, and 550i, plus the ActiveHybrid 5, giving buyers a broad spread of power and efficiency choices. For shoppers who wanted a more engaging version, the M Sport suspension was a notable draw.
It also brought a useful mix of technology and everyday luxury. BMW added Parking Assist, a 10.2-inch screen, iDrive 6, ventilated front seats, a rear entertainment system, and available active safety features such as adaptive cruise control, surround view cameras, and a head-up display. At the same time, the car’s complexity and maintenance demands are part of the tradeoff, and the source notes that the early years of this generation do not have the strongest reliability reputation. Even so, the 2016 BMW 5 Series remains appealing for buyers who want a well-equipped, comfortable sedan with real driving ability and a strong sense of occasion.

The bmw 550i is just plain excellent. I purchased mine about 5 hours away from home so I had a pretty proper test immediately. It’s very powerful and extremely comfortable which is exactly what I want from a luxury vehicle.

How much does the 2016 BMW 5 Series cost?
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Current Average Price | $12,605 |
| Year-Round Low | $12,273 |
| Year-Round High | $13,633 |
| Average Price a Year Ago | $13,633 |
| Change vs. Last Year | −7.54% |
Prices have softened 7.54% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.
There are 872 listings available, which gives you a solid pool to compare prices and conditions.
Is the 2016 BMW 5 Series a good car?
Yes — the 2016 BMW 5 Series earns a 5/5 user rating, which points to strong owner satisfaction. Drivers consistently praise its powerful performance, luxurious comfort, and broad feature set, and many highlight the M Sport suspension as a standout. It also fits well if you want a midsize luxury sedan that balances everyday refinement with real driving ability. With 32.6% of listings marked as good or great deals, you have some room to shop selectively.
Is the 2016 BMW 5 Series reliable?
Owners rate it 5/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.
Reviewers describe it as powerful, smooth, and comfortable, and those traits often go hand in hand with a car people feel good about keeping. The same feedback also suggests that you should pay close attention to maintenance history and how the car has been used, since complexity can raise ownership risk over time for used buyers.
What should I look for when buying a used 2016 BMW 5 Series?
At 59.6% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
You should run a vehicle history report on every candidate and prioritize cars with clean records and consistent service documentation. A pre-purchase inspection is especially important here, since condition and maintenance matter a lot on a luxury sedan with added complexity. Focus on signs of deferred upkeep, uneven wear, and any issues that could affect long-term ownership costs.
Is now a good time to buy a used 2016 BMW 5 Series?
This is a moderate market, so you can buy now if the right car checks your boxes, but you should still compare listings carefully.
- Deal availability: 32.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Inventory: There are 872 listings available.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 7.54% compared with last year.
- Clean inventory: 59.6% of listings are accident-free.
If you find a listing below $12,273, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.
What is the 2016 BMW 5 Series's resale value?
The current average of $12,605 sits slightly below last year's $13,633.
That decline suggests the market has already adjusted downward, which can help you buy at a more favorable entry point. For a future seller, that also means resale value will depend heavily on condition, mileage, and how well the car has been maintained. Well-kept examples should hold up better than neglected ones, especially in a segment where buyers expect strong equipment and a premium driving experience.
Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 5/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.
Should I buy a 2016 BMW 5 Series or consider a different year?
If you're weighing the 2016 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:
Choose the 2016 if:
- 32.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- At 59.6% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 7.54% compared with last year.
- Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
Consider the 2017 if:
- At $17,098, the 2017 costs more than the current year's $12,605 average.
- The redesign brings a fresh chassis, new engines, and updated technology.
The bottom line: If you want the better value, the 2016 is the stronger starting point because it offers a lower average price and plenty of listings to compare. If you can stretch your budget and want the newer redesign, the 2017 is the better secondary path for buyers who prioritize the updated platform and are willing to pay more.
