Should I buy a used BMW 5 Series now or wait for the next model?

Buy now if:

  • Price trend: The 2026 model is at −11.01% versus a year ago, and the 2025 model is at −14.17%.
  • Sweet-spot year: The 2022 model has the most listings at a current average price of $32,375. The BMW 5 Series offers a refined cabin, strong road manners, and a balanced blend of luxury and performance that has long defined the nameplate.

Consider waiting if:

  • Powertrain/efficiency: Fortified with a turbocharged 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder engine, the 540i xDrive is effortlessly smooth, swift, and civilized, and the engine makes 375 horsepower and 384 pound-feet of torque, bumping to 398 lb-ft when the eBoost 48-volt mild-hybrid system’s electric motor offers assistance.
  • Tech: It houses a 12.3-inch configurable driver display and a 14.9-inch touchscreen infotainment display, and in addition, the 5 Series includes wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, wireless smartphone charging, SiriusXM 360L satellite radio, and a Harman Kardon premium sound system.
  • Safety: This version of the 5 Series has adaptive cruise control with lane-centering assistance, and together they create an Assisted Driving system.
  • Starting price: The 2026 BMW 5 Series models include the 530i, 540i, 550e, i5, i5 M60, M5, and M5 Touring, and prices range from $59,875 to $125,275, including the destination charge and, in the case of the M5 models, a gas-guzzler tax.

If you're buying used today, the 2022 model year offers the best mix of value and availability. If you want the latest tech and features, it may be worth waiting for the next model year's inventory to build up.
