Why it stands out
The 2020 BMW 5 Series sits in the seventh-generation G30 family, which had already shifted the nameplate toward a more comfortable luxury sedan with only a bit of the old sporting edge. By this point, the regular 5 Series models were described as a little soft, with steering that was not as precise or engaging as earlier versions, and the car’s understated styling gave it a lower-profile look than many modern BMWs. Even so, it remained a 5 Series, so it still brought more driving enjoyment than many of its staid competitors.
For 2020, BMW added a larger battery to the plug-in hybrid version, giving it 21 miles of all-electric range, and also added 67 horsepower and 73 lb-ft of torque to the M550i. That same year, the 5 Series continued to offer a broad spread of powertrains, from the 530i’s 2.0-liter four-cylinder with 248 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque to the 540i’s 3.0-liter twin-turbo inline six with 335 horsepower and 332 pound-feet of torque. The lineup also included the 530e plug-in hybrid, the 540d diesel, and the M550i xDrive with its 4.4-liter turbocharged V8, making the G30 one of the more varied midsize luxury sedans of its time.
The 2020 5 Series also stood out for its safety equipment and technology. Every model came standard with blind spot monitoring, lane departure warnings with lane keep assist, rear cross-traffic alerts, traffic sign recognition, and automatic high beams, while features such as hands-free parking, adaptive cruise control, and surround view monitoring remained optional. Buyers also got BMW’s iDrive system and a cabin that reviewers generally liked for its comfort and equipment, though some noted that the steering and suspension did not feel as engaging as older 5 Series models and that upkeep could still be costly.

Reviewed a 2020 BMW 5 Series on Oct 3, 2023
I was skeptical on the power of the M550 since Im coming from a boosted mustang, but the acceleration impresses me. Lots of cool features, too many if you ask me. Remote start is missing from the 2020 and older M550s.

How much does the 2020 BMW 5 Series cost?
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Current Average Price | $25,417 |
| Year-Round Low | $24,757.60 |
| Year-Round High | $27,836.67 |
| Average Price a Year Ago | $27,820 |
| Change vs. Last Year | −8.64% |
Prices have softened 8.64% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.
With 1,166 listings available, you have a solid amount of inventory to compare across trims and conditions.
If you find a listing below $24,757.60, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.
Is the 2020 BMW 5 Series a good car?
Yes — the 2020 BMW 5 Series earns a user rating of 5/5, which points to strong owner satisfaction.
The 2020 model leans more toward comfort than the sharper, older BMW feel, but it still offers more driving enjoyment than many competitors. It also gives you a broad range of powertrains and a well-equipped cabin, so you can match the car to your priorities whether you want efficiency, performance, or a more upscale daily driver.
With 33.0% of listings marked as good or great deals, there is meaningful opportunity if you shop carefully.
Is the 2020 BMW 5 Series reliable?
Owners rate it 5/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.
The 2020 5 Series also comes across as a well-equipped luxury sedan with standard driver-assistance features and a cabin that reviewers generally liked for comfort and equipment. At the same time, the overview notes that upkeep could still be costly, so reliability for you is as much about maintenance history as it is about the car’s basic design.
For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is paying for deferred maintenance on a premium sedan that can be expensive to keep in top shape.
What should I look for when buying a used 2020 BMW 5 Series?
At 68.9% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
You should start with a vehicle history report and confirm whether any reported damage was repaired properly. Then prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially on cars with higher mileage or incomplete service records.
Focus your condition check on signs of uneven wear, warning lights, and evidence that the car’s luxury features and maintenance items have been kept up consistently.
Is now a good time to buy a used 2020 BMW 5 Series?
This looks like a moderate market where selective buyers can still find value if they shop with discipline.
- Deal availability: 33.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Inventory: There are 1,166 listings available.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 8.64% compared with last year.
- Clean inventory: 68.9% of listings are accident-free.
If you find a listing below $24,757.60, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.
What is the 2020 BMW 5 Series's resale value?
The current average of $25,417 sits slightly below last year's $27,820.
That price movement suggests the market has already adjusted downward, which can help you as a buyer but may limit upside if you plan to resell soon. If you buy at the right price and keep the car well maintained, you can reduce the impact of further depreciation.
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 2020 BMW 5 Series or consider a different year?
If you're weighing the 2020 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:
Choose the 2020 if:
- 33.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- At 68.9% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 8.64% compared with last year.
- Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
Consider the 2021 if:
- At $28,705, the 2021 costs more than the current year's $25,417 average.
- The 2021 adds a 48-volt mild-hybrid system and a larger infotainment touchscreen.
The bottom line: If you want the better value today, the 2020 is the stronger starting point because it combines a lower average price with meaningful inventory and deal availability. If you are willing to pay more for a fresher-feeling cabin and updated tech, the 2021 is the better secondary path for buyers who prioritize newer features over price.
