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.

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 Year | Accident-Free % |
|---|---|
| 2026 | 96.4% |
| 2025 | 93.9% |
| 2024 | 86.3% |
| 2023 | 83.6% |

| 2016 | 57.3% |
| 2015 | 57.8% |
| 2014 | 56.3% |
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?

What is the BMW 5 Series's resale value?
| Model Year | Current Avg. Price | Year-Over-Year Change |
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | $46,717 | −15.26% |

| 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.

- 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.

Great features, very comfortable, plenty of power. Just a solid vehicle for the price point all the way around, I love it and I don’t understand why they don’t cost more for what you get. Way under valued

CarGurus recommends the 2022 BMW 5 Series
Summary
With 1,497 currently listed for sale and an average price of $31,935, 36.9% of 2022 BMW 5 Series listings on CarGurus are rated as good or great deals.
Favorably reviewed: Owners rated the 2022 BMW 5 Series 5 / 5 stars.
80.4% of 2022 BMW 5 Series listings on CarGurus are accident free.
Why it stands out
The 2022 BMW 5 Series sits in the middle of the G30 generation, a version that had already shifted the nameplate toward a more comfortable luxury-sedan character. By this point, BMW had also given the car a facelift for 2021 with a tweaked front end and a larger infotainment touchscreen, so the 2022 model carries that updated look and interface. It remains a strong choice for buyers who want a midsize sedan with real performance credibility, but it is also part of the 5 Series’ broader move away from the sharper, more engaging feel that older fans tend to prefer.
What makes the 2022 model appealing is the breadth of its lineup and equipment. The 530i uses a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with 248 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, while the 540i uses a 3.0-liter twin-turbo inline six with 335 horsepower and 332 pound-feet of torque; both can be had with xDrive all-wheel drive. BMW also offered the 530e plug-in hybrid in this generation, and by 2022 the model had already received a larger battery for 21 miles of all-electric range. Safety equipment is generous, with blind spot monitoring, lane departure warnings with lane keep assist, rear cross-traffic alerts, traffic sign recognition, and automatic high beams standard, though some of BMW’s best driver-assistance features remain optional.
The tradeoffs are familiar for this generation. Reviewers praised the car’s overall competence, but many noted that the steering and suspension in the 530i, 540d, and 540i did not feel as engaging as older 5 Series models and that the car felt heavy. It is also still an expensive car to buy and run, and BMW’s more advanced systems can be tough to master. Even so, the 2022 BMW 5 Series remains distinctive because it blends luxury, technology, and performance in a package that is still more rewarding to drive than many of its mainstream rivals.
