Is the BMW 5 Series a good car?
Yes — the BMW 5 Series is a strong choice if you want a luxury sedan that blends performance, comfort, and a polished cabin. The all-generations owner rating is 4.58/5 across every model year in the data.

Expert reviews rate the 2018 and 2026 models among the highest across all years.
The main tradeoffs are a complex tech interface, some models with a less engaging steering feel, and cargo space that can feel limited in newer versions.
34.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
Are BMW 5 Series models reliable?
Owners consistently describe the BMW 5 Series as powerful, comfortable, and refined, with a driving experience that feels polished across the lineup. Expert commentary also points to strong overall appeal in the way the car balances luxury, performance, and technology.
- Owners rate the BMW 5 Series between 4.0 and 5.0 out of 5 stars across all model years in the data.
For used buyers, long-term ownership risk is best managed by choosing a well-maintained example with a clean history and a thorough pre-purchase inspection.
What should I look for when buying a used BMW 5 Series?
Across all model years, at 74% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
| Model Year | Accident-Free % |
|---|---|
| 2026 | 97% |
| 2025 | 94.9% |
| 2024 | 89.5% |
| 2023 | 88.1% |

| 2016 | 59.9% |
| 2015 | 60.6% |
| 2014 | 59.4% |
Older model years carry meaningfully higher accident rates, so always verify the vehicle history report on pre-2021 models.
Key things to evaluate:
- Safety package: 2026 540i models include adaptive cruise control with lane-centering assistance as part of an Assisted Driving system, and the Driving Assistance Professional package adds steering-related lane-change support, evasive-maneuver support, an emergency stop system, and Highway Assistant.
- Infotainment: 2026 models use the BMW Curved Display with a 12.3-inch configurable driver display and a 14.9-inch touchscreen infotainment display powered by BMW Operating System 8.5, plus wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
- Fuel efficiency: The EPA says it should return 28 mpg in combined driving, and we averaged 26.5 mpg on our Southern California testing loop.
Which BMW 5 Series trim should I buy?
The 2026 BMW 5 Series offers these trims:
- 530i: The entry model uses mild-hybrid technology to improve efficiency and comes standard with rear-wheel drive.
- 540i: This is the best-value trim, adding the turbocharged 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder engine, standard xDrive all-wheel drive, and the extra refinement and effortless speed that make the 5 Series especially appealing.
- 550e: This plug-in hybrid broadens the lineup for shoppers who want electrified power.
- i5: This all-electric model expands the range for buyers interested in a battery-powered sedan.
- i5 M60: This performance-focused electric trim adds a sportier character within the i5 lineup.
- M5: This high-performance model brings the most serious performance focus in the lineup.
- M5 Touring: This wagon body style adds extra versatility while keeping the M5 performance identity.
What BMW 5 Series do most buyers choose?
The BMW 5 Series years with the most listings are 2022, 2023, and 2019.

| 2024 | 1,280 | 35.6% |
| 2020 | 1,166 | 39.2% |

What is the BMW 5 Series's resale value?
| Model Year | Current Avg. Price | Year-Over-Year Change |

The table shows broad price declines across the lineup, which is good news if you’re shopping used because it opens up more value at every age. The newest models are seeing some of the largest drops, while older years are changing more slowly. That pattern gives you room to compare recent features against lower entry prices.
The 2017, 2014, and 2015 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.

CarGurus recommends the 2018 BMW 5 Series
Summary
With 1,374 currently listed for sale and an average price of $18,309, 37.3% of 2018 BMW 5 Series listings on CarGurus are rated as good or great deals.
Favorably reviewed: Owners rated the 2018 BMW 5 Series 4.95 / 5 stars and CarGurus experts gave it an 8.33 / 10.
60.4% of 2018 BMW 5 Series listings on CarGurus are accident free.
Why it stands out
The 2018 BMW 5 Series stands out for adding BMW’s updated hybrid drivetrain to the lineup, bringing a new plug-in trim for the year in the 530e. That makes frugality part of the appeal, since this plug-in hybrid is described as the lowest-priced 5 Series you can get. For buyers who want a midsize luxury sport sedan with a more efficiency-minded option, that combination gives the 2018 model a distinctive place in the range.
Beyond the hybrid addition, BMW’s focus for the 5 Series has shifted more toward luxury than sport. That helps explain why the car is appealing to shoppers looking for a refined, comfortable sedan rather than the sharpest possible performance edge. Owner feedback also points to a smooth ride, powerful performance, and luxurious features, though some drivers note engine noise and possible reliability concerns.
