What BMW X5 do most buyers choose?

The BMW X5 years with the most listings are 2025, 2026, and 2023.

Those higher-volume years tend to be the most popular used picks because they give you more inventory to compare and more chances to find the right price, mileage, and equipment mix. They also tend to sit near the center of the model’s age range, which often makes them appealing to shoppers balancing features and value.

What is the BMW X5's resale value?

Most model years are down by double digits, which creates opportunities for used buyers who want a luxury SUV at a lower entry price than new. The newer years in the table are also showing declines, though the 2026 model is falling less sharply than several older years.

The 2026, 2024, and 2015 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.

Should I buy a used BMW X5 now or wait for the next model?

Buy now if:

• Price trend: The 2026 model is at −5.02% versus a year ago, and the 2025 model is at −15.14%.
• Deal availability: The 2026 model has 33.4% good and great deals, and the 2025 model has 33.5%.
• Sweet-spot year: The 2025 model has the most listings at a current average price of $57,180. The BMW X5 offers a comfortable cabin, strong road manners, and a premium feel that make it easy to live with every day.

Consider waiting if:

• Powertrain/efficiency: BMW offers a variety of six-cylinder and eight-cylinder powertrains in the X5. Our M60i test car was equipped with a twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter V8 engine with a 48-volt mild-hybrid system, accelerating to 60 mph in 4.2 seconds, according to BMW. That speed is courtesy of 532 horsepower and 553 pound-feet of torque, and thanks to the standard xDrive AWD and the test model’s 22-inch wheels and staggered-width Pirelli P Zero performance tires, it gets to the ground without any drama.
• Tech: The X5’s BMW Curved Display contains a 12.3-inch digital instrumentation panel and a 14.9-inch touchscreen under a single, sweeping piece of glass. The iDrive 8.5 infotainment system is well stocked with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, SiriusXM 360L satellite radio, and a cloud-based navigation system.
• Safety: The 2026 BMW X5 comes standard with high-beam assist, forward-collision warning, automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, lane-keep assist, active blind-spot monitors, rear cross-traffic alert, a speed limit assistant, a driver monitoring system, a collision preparation system, post-collision braking, and parking sensors in the front, to the side, and at the rear.
• Starting price: Prices range from $69,750 to $132,450, including the $1,450 destination charge.

If you're buying used today, the 2025 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.
