How much does the 2017 BMW 5 Series cost?

Prices have softened 4.31% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 1,105 listings available, which suggests you have a meaningful amount of inventory to compare.

Is the 2017 BMW 5 Series a good car?

Generally — the 2017 BMW 5 Series earns a 4/5 user rating and a 7.8/10 expert rating, which points to a strong overall showing. The model is described as all new, with a fresh chassis, updated engines, and innovative technology aimed at making it more competitive in the midsize luxury sedan segment. It also leans back toward being a driver’s car while still offering a comfortable, do-anything luxury-car character.

The model scores 9/10 across Technology and Safety.

The market shows 36.5% good and great deals, so you have some room to shop selectively.

Is the 2017 BMW 5 Series reliable?

Owners rate it 4/5, a solid signal of long-term satisfaction.

The 2017 5 Series is presented as a thoroughly renewed model with high-strength lightweight materials, a new chassis, and updated engines, which supports the case for a well-engineered used luxury sedan. Its expert evaluation also emphasizes a balanced chassis, sorted suspension, and an intelligent transmission, all of which are encouraging signs for day-to-day dependability.

The performance notes also point to a strong turbocharged four-cylinder and a well-matched 8-speed automatic, while the cost-effectiveness commentary warns that options can quickly push ownership costs higher. For used buyers, the main long-term risk is not just age, but the possibility of expensive upkeep if the car was heavily optioned or poorly maintained.

What should I look for when buying a used 2017 BMW 5 Series?

At 57.1% 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 cars with higher mileage or extensive option content. Focus on overall condition, evidence of prior bodywork, and whether the car’s technology and driver-assistance features still operate as intended.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The base 530i is the least expensive entry point, but the content makes clear that BMW’s options list can quickly add cost and complexity, so you should pay close attention to which features are actually present.
• Powertrain: The turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder makes 248 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque, and the 8-speed automatic is a key part of the car’s appeal; the six-cylinder and V8 options add more speed if you’re shopping higher trims.
• Safety package: The car offers blind-spot monitoring, lane-keep warning and intervention with side-collision avoidance, radar-controlled adaptive cruise, collision warning and intervention, pedestrian detection, traffic jam assistant, and automatic parking; some of these features are tied to added equipment.
• Infotainment: The sixth-generation iDrive system is central to the cabin, and the car can be equipped with gesture control, a heads-up display, and Apple CarPlay; Android Auto is not available.
• Fuel efficiency: The 530i is rated at 24 mpg city and 34 mpg highway, with a combined rating of 27 mpg.

Which 2017 BMW 5 Series trim should I buy?

The 2017 BMW 5 Series is offered in 3 trim levels: 530i, 540i, M550i.

Here's the short version:

• 530i: This is the best-value choice if you want the core 5 Series experience without pushing the price too far. It brings the updated turbo 2.0-liter engine, strong efficiency, and the balanced chassis that the expert review praises, making it the trim most shoppers should start with.
• 540i: Step up to this trim if you want noticeably stronger acceleration from the turbo inline-six and are willing to pay more for it. It suits you best if performance matters more than keeping the purchase price in check.
• M550i: Choose this if you want the quickest version in the lineup and are shopping for maximum straight-line speed rather than value.

The safety content notes that the car earns top scores, but many of the advanced driver-assistance features are available only if you pay for them.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2017 BMW 5 Series?

This is a moderate market for selective buyers, so it makes sense to compare listings carefully and move quickly on the right car.

• Deal availability: 36.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 1,105 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 4.31% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 57.1% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $16,721, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2017 BMW 5 Series's resale value?

The current average of $16,976 sits slightly below last year's $17,740.

That decline suggests the market has already adjusted downward, which can help you buy at a more favorable point in the cycle. If you plan to resell later, the current pricing trend means your upside may depend more on buying well than on expecting appreciation. Well-kept examples with desirable equipment should still draw interest, but heavily optioned cars may not recover their original sticker price.

Vehicles with solid owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2017 BMW 5 Series safe?

The 2017 BMW 5 Series earns a five-star overall rating from NHTSA and a Top Safety Pick+ from IIHS, receiving Good scores in all tests.

It earns a 9/10 safety score from our experts.

The safety suite includes blind-spot monitoring, lane-keep warning and intervention with side-collision avoidance, radar-controlled adaptive cruise, collision warning and intervention, pedestrian detection, traffic jam assistant, and automatic parking. Some of those systems are part of the broader available equipment list rather than standard on every car, so you should confirm exactly what the used example includes.

Should I buy a 2017 BMW 5 Series or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2017 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2017 if:

• 36.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 57.1% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 4.31% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4/5 — a solid satisfaction signal.
• It’s all new for the year, with a fresh chassis, updated engines, and a stronger focus on driver appeal.

Consider the 2018 if:

• At $18,298, the 2018 costs more than the current year's $16,976 average.
• It adds the 530e plug-in hybrid, giving the lineup a more efficiency-focused option.

The bottom line: If you want the better value, the 2017 is the smarter buy because it combines a lower average price with strong equipment and a fresh redesign. If efficiency is a priority and you’re willing to spend more, the 2018 is worth a look for its plug-in hybrid option.
