- Owners rate the BMW 5 Series between 4.0 and 5.0 out of 5 stars across all model years in the data.

Key things to evaluate:

- 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.
- Safety package: Driving Assistance Professional, which adds steering-related driver assistance features governing lane changes and supporting evasive maneuvers, plus an emergency stop system.
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 to improve efficiency, and it suits you if you want the core 5 Series experience with a lighter setup.
- 540i: This is the best-value trim, adding the turbocharged 3.0-liter inline six, standard AWD, and the more refined, stronger performance that the expert review recommends.
- 550e: This plug-in hybrid adds electrified powertrain capability for shoppers who want a different efficiency-and-performance balance.
- i5: The all-electric version broadens the lineup for buyers who want a battery-powered 5 Series.
- i5 M60: This performance-focused electric trim adds a more powerful EV setup.
- M5: The high-performance model brings the most aggressive performance character in the lineup.
- M5 Touring: This wagon-bodied M5 adds the same performance-oriented identity 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.

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 −10.39% versus a year ago, and the 2025 model is at −13.31%.
- Sweet-spot year: The 2022 model has the most listings at a current average price of $33,492. The BMW 5 Series offers a refined cabin, strong road manners, and a premium driving feel that make it appealing across model years.
Consider waiting if:
- Powertrain/efficiency: The latest 5 Series pairs a turbocharged 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder engine with 375 horsepower and 384 pound-feet of torque, plus 398 lb-ft with eBoost assistance, and it uses an eight-speed Sport automatic transmission.
- Tech: The latest model includes a 12.3-inch configurable driver display, a 14.9-inch touchscreen infotainment display, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and wireless smartphone charging.
- Safety: The latest model adds adaptive cruise control with lane-centering assistance, steering-related driver assistance features governing lane changes and supporting evasive maneuvers, and an emergency stop system.
- Starting price: The 2026 BMW 5 Series starts at $59,875.
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.
