Used 2024 BMW X5 for Sale nearBirmingham, AL

How much does the 2024 BMW X5 cost?

Prices have softened 7.79% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 3,606 listings available, which suggests solid inventory for comparison shopping. If you find a listing below $52,764.48, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

Is the 2024 BMW X5 a good car?

Yes — the 2024 BMW X5 earns a 4.83/5 user rating, which points to strong owner satisfaction. It also earns a 7.67/10 expert rating.

The standout strength is Performance at 10/10.

Owners consistently praise its technology, smooth hybrid performance, and comfort, and they also highlight hands-free driving and electric range as standout features. That lines up with the X5’s role as a luxury midsize SUV that aims to feel engaging from behind the wheel while still working well for everyday use.

The trade-offs are clear: poor voice recognition technology and poor value for money are recurring concerns, and advanced safety features are not standard. In practical terms, you’re looking at a well-rounded SUV that suits buyers who want premium driving feel and utility, but you should be selective about trim and equipment.

Only 35.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals, so the market rewards patience and comparison shopping.

Is the 2024 BMW X5 reliable?

Owners rate it 4.83/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

Owners describe the X5 as smooth, comfortable, and appealing for its technology, with the plug-in hybrid setup adding to its everyday usefulness. The expert evaluation also emphasizes that the X5 remains a delight to drive and that BMW’s build quality feels precise, which supports confidence in how it should hold up over time.

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 this is still a premium SUV with premium repair and upkeep exposure once coverage ends.

What should I look for when buying a used 2024 BMW X5?

Accident-free inventory is excellent at 91.5% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.

You should still run a vehicle history report and prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially on higher-spec examples with more equipment. Focus on condition, maintenance records, and whether the features you want were actually included on the specific vehicle you’re considering.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The X5 lineup spans turbocharged inline-six, plug-in hybrid, turbo V8, and high-performance variants, and the cabin gets a modernized BMW Curved Display plus reduced physical switchgear. Base versions can leave you wanting more equipment, so check carefully for package content and optional upgrades.
• Powertrain: You can shop turbocharged inline-six models, the xDrive50e plug-in hybrid with a more powerful electric motor and 19.2-kWh battery, or V8-powered versions. The plug-in hybrid is the standout if you want strong acceleration and meaningful electric-only driving.
• Safety package: BMW adds Highway Assistant hands-free driving assistance for 2024, paired with Assisted Driving Plus cruise control mode. It works best in dense slow traffic or light high-speed traffic, but it is not flawless and can brake abruptly in some situations.
• Infotainment: The X5 uses a 12.3-inch digital instrument panel and a 14.9-inch touchscreen running BMW Operating System 8.5. You get wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, over-the-air updates, and cloud-based navigation.
• Fuel efficiency: The xDrive50e is rated at 22 mpg in combined driving, and BMW says it can travel about 38 miles on electric power alone.

Which 2024 BMW X5 trim should I buy?

The 2024 BMW X5 is offered in 4 trim levels: sDrive40i, xDrive40i, xDrive50e, M60i.

Here's the short version:

• sDrive40i: This is the entry point if you want the X5 experience at the lowest starting point, but you should expect to add options if you want the richer equipment mix that makes the X5 feel special.
• xDrive40i: This is the best-value trim for most shoppers because it adds BMW’s all-wheel-drive setup while keeping the core six-cylinder character and broad everyday usability.
• xDrive50e: This is the trim to buy if you want the most compelling blend of performance and efficiency. It’s the favorite version in the expert evaluation, and it adds plug-in hybrid capability with meaningful electric-only driving range.
• M60i: Choose this if you want the V8 experience and stronger straight-line performance, but it makes the most sense only if you specifically want the extra power and are comfortable paying for it.

BMW’s Highway Assistant hands-free driving assistance system is available for 2024, but you should verify the exact driver-assistance content on the vehicle you’re shopping.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2024 BMW X5?

This is a moderate buyer’s market, so you can shop selectively without expecting a deep bargain on every listing.

• Deal availability: 35.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 3,606 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 7.79% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 91.5% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $52,764.48, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2024 BMW X5's resale value?

The current average of $52,742 sits slightly below last year's $57,201.

That price movement suggests the X5 has already absorbed some depreciation, which can help future sellers if they buy at the right price today. A softer market now can also mean less room for appreciation later, so your eventual resale outcome will depend heavily on trim, mileage, condition, and equipment. Well-kept examples with desirable features should remain easier to move than stripped or heavily used ones.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.83/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2024 BMW X5 safe?

The 2024 X5 earns high ratings from IIHS, though lower headlight ratings kept it from earning an IIHS safety award. It also earns a four-star overall rating from NHTSA.

It earns a 7/10 safety score from our experts.

BMW adds Highway Assistant hands-free driving assistance for 2024, along with Assisted Driving Plus cruise control mode. The system can work very well in the right conditions, especially in slow traffic or light high-speed traffic, and it operates subtly enough that you may actually leave it on.

The caveat is that it is not perfect: the system can brake abruptly without clear cause, and it may react too aggressively to roadside objects. Advanced safety features are not standard, so you should confirm the exact equipment on any used example you’re considering.

Should I buy a 2024 BMW X5 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:

• 35.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is excellent at 91.5% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 7.79% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.83/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• It adds Highway Assistant and a more modern curved-display cabin.

Consider the 2025 if:

• At $60,347, the 2025 costs more than the current year's $52,742 average.
• It carries over with no major changes.

The bottom line: If you want the stronger value play, the 2024 is the better path because prices have eased and inventory is healthy. If you’re focused on getting the newest version and don’t mind paying more, the 2025 is the simpler choice, but it doesn’t bring enough change to outweigh the price gap for most used buyers.
