The BMW 5 Series has a nationwide current average price of $26,963, and its year-round low is $25,752.51. That puts the model’s current pricing in a fairly broad band, with newer examples commanding much higher averages than older ones. Recently, prices have come down for the 2023, 2024, and 2025 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 4.58/5 across every model year in the data.
Owners consistently praise the 5 Series for its powerful performance, luxurious interior, and smooth handling. They also like the refined driving experience and the well-equipped cabins, especially when the car’s technology and comfort features come together. Expert reviews echo that balance, highlighting the model’s comfort, driving enjoyment, and impressive technology.
Expert reviews rate the 2018 and 2026 models among the highest across all years.
The trade-offs tend to center on high ownership costs, some complexity in the technology, and a few years with tighter rear-seat or cargo space. Those are the main considerations if you want the 5 Series’ mix of upscale feel and driving character.
31.8% 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 comfort, performance, and upscale feel, and many model years earn strong satisfaction scores. The car’s broad range of powertrains and features also helps it feel well-rounded across the lineup.
- 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 and checking service history carefully, since upkeep can be a meaningful part of the ownership experience.
What should I look for when buying a used BMW 5 Series?
Across all model years, at 73.9% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
| Model Year | Accident-Free % |
|---|---|
| 2027 | 98.4% |
| 2026 | 97% |
| 2025 | 95.5% |
| 2024 | 89.5% |
| 2023 | 88.6% |
| 2022 | 84.8% |
| 2021 | 76.9% |
| 2020 | 68.9% |
| 2019 | 65.3% |
| 2018 | 62.7% |
| 2017 | 60.9% |
| 2016 | 59.3% |
| 2015 | 59.1% |
| 2014 | 58.8% |
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: Driving Assistance Professional package
- Infotainment: BMW Curved Display with a 12.3-inch configurable driver display and a 14.9-inch touchscreen infotainment display; BMW Operating System 8.5
- 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, rear-wheel drive, and the BMW Curved Display with a 12.3-inch configurable driver display and a 14.9-inch touchscreen infotainment display; it suits you if you want the most accessible way into the lineup.
- 540i: This is the best-value trim, adding the turbocharged 3.0-liter inline six, standard all-wheel drive, and the more refined, effortless character that makes the 5 Series especially appealing.
- 550e: This plug-in hybrid adds electrified power to the lineup for buyers who want a different efficiency-focused setup.
- i5: This all-electric trim broadens the lineup with a battery-electric option.
- i5 M60: This performance-oriented electric trim adds a stronger, more athletic setup.
- M5: This high-performance trim serves as the lineup’s benchmark for outright speed and capability.
- M5 Touring: This wagon variant adds the M5’s performance focus in a different body style.
What BMW 5 Series do most buyers choose?
The BMW 5 Series years with the most listings are 2022, 2018, and 2019.
| Model Year | Total Listings | Good + Great Deals % |
|---|---|---|
| 2022 | 1,517 | 33.6% |
| 2018 | 1,444 | 33.4% |
| 2019 | 1,414 | 33.6% |

| 2024 | 1,243 | 34.1% |
| 2017 | 1,183 | 33.5% |
These higher-volume years tend to be popular because they give you more inventory to compare, which can make it easier to find the right mileage, color, and equipment mix. They also tend to sit in the sweet spot where newer features and broader availability overlap.

Several newer and mid-cycle years have seen especially sharp drops, while a few older years have moved down more gradually. The smallest changes are clustered toward the lower end of the list, which suggests some years have softened less than others.
The 2017, 2024, and 2023 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.

- Price trend: The 2025 model is at −14.56% versus a year ago, and the 2024 model is at −6.4%.
- Deal availability: The 2024 model has 34.1% good and great deals.
- Sweet-spot year: The 2022 model has the most listings at a current average price of $33,676. The BMW 5 Series offers a refined cabin, strong road manners, and a premium feel that make it easy to live with every day.
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, 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.
- 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 is priced right compared to other midsize luxury cars, and it comes with three years of complimentary scheduled maintenance, which aligns with common lease contract terms.
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 2028 inventory to mature.

CarGurus recommends the 2018 BMW 5 Series
Summary
With 1,409 currently listed for sale and an average price of $18,414.00, 34.6% of 2018 BMW 5 Series models for sale 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.
63.4% of 2018 BMW 5 Series models 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 in the form of the new 530e plug-in trim. That makes it notable not just as a luxury midsize sedan, but also as a more frugal choice within the range, since the 530e is described as the lowest-priced 5 Series you can get.
More broadly, the 2018 5 Series reflects BMW’s effort to emphasize luxury more than sport in this segment. That focus should appeal to buyers who want a refined midsize luxury sport sedan with a smooth ride and upscale features, while still offering strong performance. At the same time, some owners have noted engine noise and possible reliability concerns, so the car’s appeal is strongest for shoppers prioritizing comfort and efficiency over a purely sporty character.
