The BMW 5 Series's current nationwide average price is $27,654, and its lowest point over the past year was $25,691. Recently, prices have come down for the 2024, 2025, and 2026 models, making now a good time to shop recent model years.

Is the BMW 5 Series a good car?

Yes — the BMW 5 Series is a strong pick if you want a luxury sedan that blends performance, comfort, and technology. The all-generations owner rating is 4.6/5 across every model year in the data.

Owners consistently praise the 5 Series for its powerful performance, luxurious interior, and smooth handling. They also highlight the comfortable cabin and advanced technology, which make it appealing for both daily driving and longer trips.

Expert reviews rate the 2018 and 2026 models among the highest across all years.

The main tradeoffs in recent expert-tested years are a polarizing design, occasional digital voice assistant quirks, and limited cargo space.

34.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.

Are BMW 5 Series models reliable?

Owners and experts consistently praise the 5 Series for its strong performance, refined comfort, and well-equipped cabin. Across the model years in the data, it also earns repeat praise for smooth handling and a premium driving feel.

  • Owners rate the BMW 5 Series between 4 and 5 out of 5 stars across all model years in the data.

For long-term ownership, you should plan for a premium-car ownership experience where maintenance and complexity can matter over time.

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

Across all model years, at 72.4% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.

Model YearAccident-Free %
202696.4%
202593.7%
202487%
202384.6%
202281.2%
202173.5%
202068.3%
201961.2%
201858.8%
201757%
201658.2%
201559%
201458.1%

Older model years carry meaningfully higher accident rates, so always verify the vehicle history report on pre-2022 models.

Key things to evaluate:

  • Safety package: Driving Assistance Professional package
  • Infotainment: BMW Curved Display with a 12.3-inch configurable driver display and a 14.9-inch touchscreen infotainment display
  • 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:

  • 540i: This trim adds the turbocharged 3.0-liter inline six, standard xDrive all-wheel drive, and a stronger mix of refinement and speed; it is the best-value trim.
  • 550e: This plug-in hybrid adds electrified powertrain capability for buyers who want a different efficiency-and-performance balance.
  • i5: This all-electric model broadens the lineup with battery-electric driving.
  • i5 M60: This version adds a higher-performance electric setup.
  • M5: This performance flagship adds the most aggressive powertrain in the range.

Most model years are down year over year, which is good news if you’re shopping used because it creates more room for value. The biggest drops are concentrated in newer and mid-cycle years, while the smallest changes appear in older models. That pattern suggests the 5 Series continues to soften across much of the range, but some older years are changing more slowly than others.

The 2015, 2014, and 2017 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.

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 −9.27% versus a year ago, and the 2025 model is at −14.3%.
  • Sweet-spot year: The 2022 model has the most listings at a current average price of $32,071. The BMW 5 Series offers a refined cabin, strong road manners, and a premium driving feel that make it a compelling all-around luxury sedan.

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; BMW Operating System 8.5 is the software that powers it, and the 5 Series includes wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
  • 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. 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.
