- Sweet-spot year: The 2022 model has the most listings at a current average price of $32,869. The BMW 5 Series offers a refined blend of comfort, performance, and technology that makes it appealing across multiple model years.
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, the engine makes 375 horsepower and 384 pound-feet of torque, and the eBoost 48-volt mild-hybrid system’s electric motor bumps torque to 398 lb-ft.
- 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.
- Safety: This version of the 5 Series has adaptive cruise control with lane-centering assistance, and the Driving Assistance Professional option package adds steering-related driver assistance features governing lane changes and supporting evasive maneuvers, plus an emergency stop system.
- Starting price: 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.

CarGurus recommends the 2018 BMW 5 Series
Summary
With 1,371 currently listed for sale and an average price of $18,209, 36.4% 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.
59.0% 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.
