The BMW 5 Series' current nationwide average price is $26,884, and its lowest point over the past year was $25,763. 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 with broad appeal and a long-running reputation for driving enjoyment. 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, smooth handling, and comfortable ride. Reviewers also highlight the model’s refined cabin and advanced technology, which help it feel well equipped across generations.
Expert reviews rate the 2018 and 2026 models among the highest across all years.
The main trade-offs in recent expert reviews center on complex technology, occasional voice-assistant quirks, and design choices that may not suit every shopper. Some years also bring firmer ride tuning with larger wheels and performance packages, so it helps to match the trim to the driving feel you want.
33.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
Are BMW 5 Series models reliable?
Owners and experts consistently praise the BMW 5 Series for its strong performance, refined cabin, and smooth driving character. Across the lineup, the model also earns credit for comfort and a well-equipped feel, which helps it remain appealing as a used luxury sedan.
- 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 tied more to upkeep and complexity than to day-to-day driving satisfaction, so a well-documented service history matters.
What should I look for when buying a used BMW 5 Series?
Across all model years, at 74.1% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
| Model Year | Accident-Free % |
|---|---|
| 2026 | 97.3% |
| 2025 | 95.9% |
| 2024 | 90.2% |
| 2023 | 89% |
| 2022 | 85% |
| 2021 | 76.8% |
| 2020 | 68.6% |
| 2019 | 64.5% |
| 2018 | 61.7% |
| 2017 | 60.1% |
| 2016 | 59.1% |
| 2015 | 59.2% |
| 2014 | 60.3% |
Older model years carry meaningfully higher accident rates, so always verify the vehicle history report on pre-2021 models.
Key things to evaluate:
- 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 rear-wheel drive and gives you the core 5 Series experience with the curved display, mild-hybrid efficiency, and the model’s quiet, comfortable character.
- 540i: This is the best-value trim, adding the turbocharged inline-six, standard AWD, and the extra refinement and effortless speed that make the 5 Series feel especially polished.
- 550e: This plug-in hybrid adds electrified efficiency to the lineup for shoppers who want a different powertrain choice.
- i5: This all-electric model broadens the lineup with a battery-electric option.
- i5 M60: This performance-focused electric trim adds more power and a sportier character.
- M5: This high-performance model brings the most serious performance hardware in the lineup.
- M5 Touring: This wagon-bodied version adds the M5 formula in a more versatile body style.
What BMW 5 Series do most buyers choose?
The BMW 5 Series years with the most listings are 2022, 2018, and 2023.
| Model Year | Total Listings | Good + Great Deals % |
|---|---|---|
| 2022 | 1,538 | 35.4% |
| 2018 | 1,396 | 34.5% |
| 2023 | 1,395 | 35.3% |

| 2024 | 1,262 | 36.2% |
| 2020 | 1,170 | 35.3% |
These higher-volume years tend to draw more shoppers because they offer a wider mix of prices, trims, and equipment levels. More listings also make it easier to compare condition, mileage, and deal quality before you buy.
What is the BMW 5 Series's resale value?
| Model Year | Current Avg. Price | Year-Over-Year Change |
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | $48,577 | −14.6% |
| 2018 | $18,427 | −10.98% |

Most model years in the table are down year over year, which is good news if you’re shopping used and want prices that have softened. The biggest drops are concentrated in newer and mid-cycle years, while a few older examples have moved down more modestly. That pattern suggests you can find meaningful value across much of the lineup if you compare listings carefully.
The 2017, 2024, and 2014 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.

- Sweet-spot year: The 2022 model has the most listings at a current average price of $33,336. The BMW 5 Series offers a refined cabin, strong road manners, and a premium feel that make it easy to live with across 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, 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.
- 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 the next model year's inventory to build up.

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. It is also described as the lowest-priced 5 Series you can get, which gives it a practical edge for buyers who want efficiency without leaving the luxury segment.
More broadly, the 5 Series is presented as a model that has shifted its focus toward luxury more than sport in BMW’s effort to reclaim its place among midsize luxury sport sedans. Owner feedback reinforces some of that appeal, with praise for the smooth ride, powerful performance, and luxurious features. At the same time, some drivers have raised concerns about engine noise and potential reliability issues, so the car’s strengths are balanced by a few cautions.
