The BMW 5 Series's current nationwide average price is $26,982, and its nationwide average price reached a low of $25,750 over the past year.
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 choice 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 appreciate the refined driving experience, comfortable cabins, and well-equipped technology across the lineup.
Expert reviews rate the 2018 and 2026 models among the highest across all years.
The main trade-offs center on high ownership costs, complex technology, and, in some years, limited rear-seat space or cargo room. Those are the kinds of compromises you should expect if you want the 5 Series’ mix of driving enjoyment and premium feel.
34.1% 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, upscale interiors, and smooth driving character. Across the lineup, the car also earns credit for its refined ride and well-equipped cabins, which helps explain its broad appeal.
- 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 maintenance complexity and repair costs than to the basic appeal of the car itself, so a well-documented service history matters.
What should I look for when buying a used BMW 5 Series?
Across all model years, at 74.2% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
| Model Year | Accident-Free % |
|---|---|
| 2026 | 97.3% |
| 2025 | 95.6% |
| 2024 | 90.2% |
| 2023 | 88.8% |
| 2022 | 84.3% |
| 2021 | 75.1% |
| 2020 | 68.4% |
| 2019 | 63.6% |
| 2018 | 60.4% |
| 2017 | 59.6% |
| 2016 | 60.2% |
| 2015 | 61% |
| 2014 | 59.9% |
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 rear-wheel drive and mild-hybrid technology, and it suits you if you want the most accessible way into the lineup.
- 540i: This trim adds the turbocharged 3.0-liter inline six, standard AWD, and the stronger performance and refinement that make it the best-value pick for many shoppers.
- 550e: This plug-in hybrid adds electrified efficiency to the lineup.
- i5: This all-electric model brings a fully electric powertrain.
- i5 M60: This version adds the performance-focused electric setup.
- M5: This high-performance model adds the most serious performance hardware in the lineup.
- M5 Touring: This wagon-bodied performance model adds the same high-performance character 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, 2023, and 2018.
| Model Year | Total Listings | Good + Great Deals % |

| Model Year | Current Avg. Price | Year-Over-Year Change |

Most model years are down year over year, which creates better opportunities for used buyers. The biggest drops are concentrated in the newer and higher-priced years, while the smaller declines suggest some older examples are moving more gradually.
The 2017, 2014, and 2020 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 has adaptive cruise control with lane-centering assistance, and together they create an 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 −11.43% versus a year ago, and the 2025 model is at −13.0%.
- Sweet-spot year: The 2022 model has the most listings at a current average price of $33,291. The BMW 5 Series offers a refined cabin, strong road manners, and the kind of upscale driving character that has made it a long-running favorite.
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 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.

Extensive, but at this price point ventilated seats should be included with the Premium package. Compared to the Mercedes E Class.

BMW 5 Series test drive
overall
Germany has perfected the art of the luxury car, as evidenced by the 2026 BMW 5 Series.
The BMW 5 Series is one of three cars that prove the country known for Autobahns, the Nürburgring, and Oktoberfest builds the best luxury sedans on the planet. It competes with the Audi A6 and Mercedes-Benz E-Class, each taking a distinct approach to design but measuring up closely in other parameters. The 2026 5 Series is virtually unchanged, entering its third year following a 2024 redesign, and this review is about the 540i xDrive model.
Verdict: Putting BMW’s love-it-or-hate-it design aside, the 2026 540i xDrive is a sensational automobile offering the right blend of luxury, technology, and performance. Choose the M Sport setup for maximum driving enjoyment, or stick with the standard specification to emphasize luxury. Either way, the styling is the most controversial thing about the 5 Series.
