How much does the 2024 BMW 5 Series cost?

Prices have softened 5.60% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 1,288 listings available, which suggests you have a solid amount of inventory to compare.

Is the 2024 BMW 5 Series a good car?

Yes — the 2024 BMW 5 Series earns a 5/5 user rating and a 7/10 expert rating. The standout strength is Form and function at 8/10.

The redesigned 2024 BMW 5 Series is positioned as a midsize luxury sedan that leans more toward design, technology, and comfort than toward the driving character BMW is known for. In practice, that means you get a capable sports sedan that can also work as a plush people mover, even if the driving enjoyment many buyers expect from a BMW is missing here.

The trade-offs are clear: the expert notes call out poor fuel economy and limited cargo space with the spare tire. If you want a refined luxury sedan for commuting and long-distance comfort, this setup makes sense; if you want the classic BMW driving feel, this one may leave you wanting more.

Good and great deals: 38.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals, which gives you some room to shop selectively.

Is the 2024 BMW 5 Series reliable?

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

The 2024 BMW 5 Series comes across as a quiet, comfortable, and capable luxury sedan, and the expert notes reinforce that it is easy to live with. The powertrain is described as quiet and smooth, the automatic transmission shifts almost imperceptibly, and the ride quality is supple, all of which support a strong day-to-day ownership experience.

BMW also includes complimentary scheduled maintenance for three years or 36,000 miles, which helps reduce early ownership costs. For used buyers, the main long-term risk is that a high-tech luxury sedan can become expensive if you inherit neglected maintenance or unresolved electronic issues.

What should I look for when buying a used 2024 BMW 5 Series?

Accident-free inventory is excellent at 90.2% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.

You should still run a history report and prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially on a luxury sedan with a lot of technology and available options. Focus on overall condition, how the controls and infotainment behave, and whether the car’s comfort features and driver-assistance systems operate as expected.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The 530i is the entry point, and the test car’s M Sport treatment added more visual presence inside and out, including M Sport bodywork, Smoke-color Veganza artificial leather, aluminum trim, and artistic metal speaker grilles. The base setup still relies heavily on screen-based controls, and many surfaces can create glare and reflections.
• Powertrain: The 530i uses a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder with 255 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque, plus a 48-volt mild-hybrid system. BMW estimates 5.9 seconds to 60 mph, and the engine is described as quiet, smooth, and refined.
• Safety package: Active Driving Assistant is standard and includes forward-collision warning with automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning with lane-keeping assist, and blind-spot monitoring. BMW Assist eCall is also standard. The more advanced Driving Assistant Professional Package adds adaptive cruise control, lane-centering assist, evasive steering assist, lane-change assist, emergency stop assist, Distance Control, and Highway Assistant with Active Lane Change.
• Infotainment: The cabin uses a 12.3-inch digital instrumentation panel and a 14.9-inch touchscreen under BMW Curved Display with iDrive 8.5. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are included, along with connected services, a personal eSIM 5G connection, SiriusXM 360L satellite radio, navigation, and wireless smartphone charging.
• Fuel efficiency: The test car returned 24.7 mpg on the evaluation loop and averaged 26.7 mpg during the week, while BMW estimates 30 mpg in combined driving.

Which 2024 BMW 5 Series trim should I buy?

The 2024 BMW 5 Series is offered in 2 trim levels: 530i and 540i.

Here's the short version:

• 530i: This is the trim to start with if you want the most accessible way into the redesigned 5 Series. It delivers the core experience here: the curved display, iDrive 8.5, wireless smartphone integration, and the refined turbo-four powertrain. It also gives you the best-value entry point if you care more about comfort, tech, and everyday usability than maximum power.
• 540i: Choose this if you want more performance and are willing to pay for it. The available lineup information shows it as the higher gas-powered step above the 530i, so it makes sense for buyers who want a stronger engine and are shopping the 5 Series for a more upscale, more powerful feel.

BMW’s standard safety setup is Active Driving Assistant, while the Driving Assistant Professional Package adds the more advanced driver-assistance features.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2024 BMW 5 Series?

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market.

• Deal availability: 38.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 1,288 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 5.60% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 90.2% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $43,992, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2024 BMW 5 Series's resale value?

The current average of $44,366 sits slightly below last year's $46,995.

That price movement suggests the market has cooled a bit, which can help you buy more confidently now but may also mean a softer exit price later if you plan to sell. For a future seller, the current trend implies you should expect depreciation pressure rather than a quick rebound.

The good news is that the 5 Series still has strong appeal as a refined, tech-forward luxury sedan, and that can help support demand when you eventually list it. 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 2024 BMW 5 Series safe?

The 2024 BMW 5 Series earns a Top Safety Pick from IIHS.

It earns a 6/10 safety score from our experts.

BMW equips the 530i with Active Driving Assistant, which includes forward-collision warning with automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning with lane-keeping assist, and blind-spot monitoring. BMW Assist eCall is also standard, adding automatic collision notification and an SOS emergency request button.

For more advanced driver assistance, the Driving Assistant Professional Package adds adaptive cruise control, lane-centering assist, evasive steering assist, lane-change assist, emergency stop assist, Distance Control, and Highway Assistant with Active Lane Change. The main caveat is that these more sophisticated systems are optional, not standard.

The only crash-test rating mentioned here is the IIHS Top Safety Pick result, and the car does not earn the higher Top Safety Pick+ rating because it has not been assessed in a new moderate-overlap frontal-impact evaluation.

Should I buy a 2024 BMW 5 Series or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2024 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2024 if:

• 38.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is excellent at 90.2% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 5.60% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The redesigned 2024 BMW 5 Series emphasizes design, technology, and comfort, while still delivering a capable sports-sedan feel.

The bottom line: If you want the newest look, the latest tech, and a market that has already softened a bit, the 2024 is the cleaner choice. If you are more price-sensitive, a nearby model year may be worth considering, but the 2024 gives you the freshest version of this comfort-first 5 Series formula.
