How much does the 2025 BMW M5 cost?

Is the 2025 BMW M5 a good car?

The 2025 BMW M5 earns an 8.5/10 expert rating, and it’s built for you if you want a performance sedan that can also handle everyday driving. The model scores 9/10 across Look and feel, Form and function, and Technology.

The overview and test-drive summary both point to a rare dual personality: you get 717 horsepower, strong agility, and a plug-in hybrid setup that can cover short trips on electric power alone. The trade-offs are clear, though: the exhaust is too quiet for a performance car, and the ride is too harsh for a luxury sedan.

That makes it especially appealing if you want a sedan that can feel serious on a back road but still work as a daily driver. 35.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals, which suggests there’s meaningful value in the market if you shop carefully.

Is the 2025 BMW M5 reliable?

The 2025 BMW M5 is positioned as a high-performance sedan with everyday usability, and the test-drive summary emphasizes that it delivers in excess for shoppers who want a car that can do a bit of everything. Its plug-in hybrid setup adds another layer of complexity, but the powertrain is described as smooth in electric-only driving and capable of calm commuting for up to 25 miles.

The performance notes also suggest the drivetrain is engineered for serious use, with strong acceleration and smooth power delivery through the conventional transmission. The cost-effectiveness notes add that the package is compelling considering the level of performance, space, and luxury it delivers.

For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is that a highly complex, high-output performance hybrid can be expensive to keep in top shape if prior maintenance was neglected.

What should I look for when buying a used 2025 BMW M5?

Accident-free inventory is excellent at 98.4% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.

You should still run a history report and verify that the car’s service records line up with its mileage and use. A pre-purchase inspection is especially important on a performance hybrid like this, since you’ll want to confirm that the brakes, suspension, and electronics are in good shape. Pay close attention to ride quality, cabin condition, and any signs that the car has been driven hard.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The cabin features a large single screen, iDrive controller, and customizable interior lighting, while the overall design is highly subjective and the piano black surfaces can show fingerprints easily.
• Powertrain: The M5 combines a 4.4-liter twin turbo V8 with an electric motor for a combined 717 hp and 738 lb-ft of torque, and it can drive on electricity alone for up to 25 miles.
• Safety package: Standard equipment includes automatic emergency braking, forward collision warning, lane-keep assist, speed limit info, blind-spot monitoring, and Parking Assistant with backup assist and a 360-degree camera system. Driving Assistant Professional adds side collision protection, adaptive cruise control, and Traffic Jam Assistant.
• Infotainment: The car uses a 14.9-inch center screen with iDrive 8.5, wireless Apple CarPlay, wireless Android Auto, Bluetooth, and USB-C outlets front and rear.
• Fuel efficiency: The M5 can travel up to 25 miles on electric power alone, and the test-drive notes say fuel consumption rises quickly if you use the gasoline engine aggressively.

Which 2025 BMW M5 trim should I buy?

The 2025 BMW M5 is offered in 1 trim level: M5.

Here's the short version:

The M5 is the one to buy if you want the full experience from the start. It already gives you the core performance hardware, all-wheel drive, rear-wheel steering, and the high-end cabin and tech that define this model year. If you want more capability, the available packages add meaningful extras, but the standard car is already the best-value path because there isn’t a lower trim to step through.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2025 BMW M5?

This is a moderate market for selective buyers, so you can shop with some leverage if you’re patient.

• Deal availability: 35.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 187 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 8.72% compared with last year.

If you find a listing below $114,428, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2025 BMW M5's resale value?

The current average of $114,428 sits slightly below last year's $125,356.

That price movement suggests the market has softened, which can help you as a buyer now but may temper resale expectations later. If you own one for the long term, the strongest resale outcome will likely depend on condition, mileage, and how well the car’s performance hardware and hybrid system are maintained. Because this is a high-end performance sedan, clean history and strong documentation should matter a lot when you eventually sell.

Is the 2025 BMW M5 safe?

The 2025 BMW M5 has not been tested by either the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration or the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.

It earns an 8/10 safety score from our experts.

Standard safety equipment includes automatic emergency braking, forward collision warning, lane-keep assist, speed limit info, blind-spot monitoring, and Parking Assistant with backup assist and a 360-degree camera system. If you want more advanced driver assistance, the available Driving Assistant Professional package adds side collision protection, adaptive cruise control, and Traffic Jam Assistant for hands-free driving at up to 40 mph in stop-and-go traffic.

Should I buy a 2025 BMW M5 or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2025 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2025 if:

• 35.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is excellent at 98.4% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 8.72% compared with last year.
• It’s the redesign year that introduced the plug-in hybrid M5 with major performance and usability gains.

Consider the 2026 if:

• It adds a more powerful onboard charger and more paint options.

The bottom line: If you want the biggest leap in character and capability, the 2025 is the one to target because it brings the major redesign and the first plug-in hybrid M5 setup. If you’re price-sensitive and the 2026’s small updates matter to you, it’s worth comparing listings, but the 2025 is the more important model-year change.
