How much does the 2017 BMW 5 Series cost?

Prices have softened 2.89% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 1,114 listings available, which suggests you have a meaningful amount of inventory to compare.

Is the 2017 BMW 5 Series a good car?

Generally — the 4/5 user rating and 7.83/10 expert rating point to a well-regarded used luxury sedan. The 2017 redesign brings a fresh chassis, new engines, an updated iDrive interface, and lightweight materials that help it grow in size without gaining weight. It also keeps a more driver-focused character than its understated styling suggests, while the lack of a manual transmission may matter if you want a more involved drive.

The model scores 9/10 across Technology and Safety.

The market shows 35.0% good or 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 model’s redesign and updated hardware point to a more modern ownership experience, and the expert review highlights strong engines, a well-sorted transmission, and a balanced chassis. The performance notes also describe the turbocharged four-cylinder as one of the best in its class, with smooth operation once warmed up and strong efficiency potential when driven conservatively. On the cost side, the car’s value can erode quickly once options pile on, so long-term ownership risk rises if you buy a heavily equipped example.

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

At 59.3% 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 option content or signs of heavy use. Focus on condition, maintenance records, and whether the car’s equipment still works as intended, since this model can become expensive once features and options stack up. A careful test drive should also confirm that the drivetrain, steering, and electronics feel consistent and free of warning lights.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The base 530i is positioned as the no-nonsense choice, while the 540i adds more power and the M550i brings the strongest performance. The base car is the best fit if you want the simplest path into the lineup, while higher trims make sense if you want more speed and are willing to pay for it.
• Powertrain: The lineup includes a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder, a turbo inline-six, and a twin-turbo V8. The four-cylinder is praised for strong torque and efficiency, the six-cylinder cuts the 0-60 time to 4.9 seconds, and the V8 drops it to 4 seconds.
• 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. The review notes that getting everything tied to the most advanced autonomy requires paying extra, so feature content can vary by build.
• Infotainment: The sixth-generation iDrive system uses steering-wheel controls, a touchscreen, a rotary dial, and console inputs. Apple CarPlay is available for an extra charge, while Android Auto is not available.
• Fuel efficiency: The 530i is rated at 24 mpg city and 34 mpg highway, for a combined 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 chasing the highest price. It gets the updated turbo four-cylinder, strong torque, and the efficiency figures that make the model easier to live with day to day.
• 540i: Choose this if you want a clear step up in power without jumping all the way to the top of the range. The turbo inline-six brings much quicker acceleration and is the better fit if you care more about effortless passing power than maximum efficiency.
• M550i: Pick this if you want the quickest version and are willing to pay for it. The twin-turbo V8 delivers the strongest performance in the lineup and is the right call if straight-line speed matters most.

The safety content says the car earns top marks from both NHTSA and IIHS, which is a strong sign across the lineup.

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

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

• Deal availability: 35.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 1,114 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 2.89% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 59.3% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $16,716, 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 $17,211 sits slightly below last year's $17,722.

That softer pricing suggests the market has become a bit more favorable for buyers, but it also means future sellers may need to stay competitive. If you buy well and keep the car in strong condition, you may be better positioned than someone who overpays for a heavily optioned example. The model’s broad appeal as a luxury sedan with strong performance and technology should help support demand, especially for cleaner, better-maintained listings.

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 Top Safety Pick+ from IIHS and five-star ratings from NHTSA.

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

The safety content highlights a long list of driver-assistance features, including 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. That breadth of equipment is a major strength, though some of the most advanced capability depends on how the car was optioned.

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:

• 35.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 59.3% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 2.89% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4/5 — a solid satisfaction signal.
• It’s a full redesign with a fresh chassis, new engines, and an updated iDrive interface.

Consider the 2018 if:

• At $18,135, the 2018 costs more than the current year's $17,211 average.
• It adds the 530e plug-in hybrid, giving you a more frugal option.

The bottom line: If you want the strongest value on a redesigned 5 Series, the 2017 is the better starting point because pricing has eased and inventory is healthy. If efficiency matters more than price, the 2018 is worth a look for its plug-in hybrid option, but you’ll pay more for it.
