The BMW 5 Series's current nationwide average price is $27,730, and its lowest point over the past year was $25,701. 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 its powerful performance, luxurious interiors, and smooth handling. They also like the refined driving experience and the advanced technology that shows up across many model years.

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

The main tradeoffs are the complexity of the technology, the occasional quirks in the digital voice assistant, and the cargo space that some recent years leave wanting.

34.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.

Are BMW 5 Series models reliable?

Owners consistently praise the BMW 5 Series for its powerful performance, luxurious comfort, and refined interior. Across the model years, the driving experience and well-equipped cabins stand out as recurring strengths.

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

For used buyers, long-term ownership risk is worth weighing carefully because some model years bring complex systems and higher upkeep expectations.

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

Across all model years, at 72.2% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.

Model YearAccident-Free %
202696.4%
202593.9%
202486.3%
202383.6%
202280%
202172.4%

201859.5%
201757.1%
201657.3%
201557.8%
201456.3%

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: adaptive cruise control with lane-centering assistance, the Driving Assistance Professional option package, and Highway Assistant.
  • Infotainment: 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.
  • 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 530i uses rear-wheel drive and mild-hybrid technology to improve efficiency, and it suits buyers who want the entry point into the lineup with the model’s core luxury-sedan character.
  • 540i: The 540i adds the turbocharged 3.0-liter inline six, standard AWD, and a more refined, effortless feel, making it the best-value trim for many shoppers.
  • 550e: The 550e brings plug-in hybrid power to the lineup for buyers who want electrified performance.
  • i5: The i5 is the all-electric version for shoppers who want a battery-powered 5 Series.
  • i5 M60: The i5 M60 adds a higher-performance electric setup.
  • M5: The M5 is the performance flagship.
  • M5 Touring: The M5 Touring adds wagon practicality to the high-performance formula.

What BMW 5 Series do most buyers choose?

The BMW 5 Series years with the most listings are 2022, 2023, and 2019.

Model YearTotal ListingsGood + Great Deals %
20221,49236.7%
20231,39534.6%
20191,36736.1%
20181,34735.9%
20241,23335.1%
20201,17236.7%

These higher-volume years tend to be popular because they offer a broad mix of price, equipment, and availability. When more listings are on the market, you usually get more chances to compare trims, mileage, and condition before you buy.

What is the BMW 5 Series's resale value?

Model YearCurrent Avg. PriceYear-Over-Year Change
2025$46,717−15.26%
2022$31,939−10.95%
2019$19,643−10.89%
2026$57,899−9.24%
2018$18,298−9.06%
2020$25,024−8.42%

2021$28,551−5.37%
2017$16,976−4.31%
2015$11,129−4.3%

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 steepest drops are concentrated in newer and mid-cycle examples, while older years show smaller declines. That pattern suggests you can find meaningful savings across much of the lineup without giving up the 5 Series formula.

The 2015, 2017, and 2021 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.

Is the BMW 5 Series safe?

  • 2026: 9/10
  • 2024: 6/10
  • 2021: 9/10
  • 2018: 9/10
  • 2017: 9/10

The 2026 BMW 5 Series includes adaptive cruise control with lane-centering assistance as part of its Assisted Driving system.

For the safest used buy, the 2017, 2018, 2021 and 2026 models all post the highest confirmed score of 9/10.

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 −9.24% versus a year ago, and the 2025 model is at −15.26%.
  • Sweet-spot year: The 2022 model has the most listings at a current average price of $31,939. The BMW 5 Series offers a refined cabin and a balanced mix of comfort and driving character that make it appealing across generations.

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.
