What BMW X5 do most buyers choose?

The BMW X5 years with the most listings are 2025, 2023, and 2024.

These higher-volume years tend to be popular because they give you more inventory to compare, more pricing spread to shop, and a strong mix of newer features and used-car value.

What is the BMW X5's resale value?

Most model years in the table are down year over year, which is good news if you're shopping used and want more room to negotiate. The newer models are still declining, but the drops are smaller than many of the older years. That creates a broad spread of price movement across the lineup, with the steepest declines concentrated in several earlier model years.

The 2024, 2026, 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 −8.71% versus a year ago, and the 2025 model is at −9.91%.
• Deal availability: The 2026 model has 32.6% 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 $61,881. The BMW X5 offers a refined cabin, strong road manners, and a premium overall character that make it easy to live with every day.

Consider waiting if:

• Powertrain/efficiency: Typical for BMW, new car buyers have a number of powertrain options to choose from. Those choices start with the rear-wheel drive (RWD) X5 sDrive40i and all-wheel drive (AWD) X5 xDrive40i, both of which use a turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six producing 375 horsepower and 398 pound-feet of torque. A 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 is also available in the AWD-only X5 M60i xDrive. With 523 hp and 553 lb-ft of torque available, the estimated zero to 60 mph time drops to 4.2 seconds. BMW also offers an X5 plug-in hybrid. The X5 xDrive50e combines the 3.0-liter inline-six and eight-speed automatic transmission from the xDrive40i with a larger electric motor and 19.2-kilowatt-hour battery pack.
• Tech: As part of its 2024-model-year refresh, the X5 received a curved dashboard display and new operating system. The curved display consists of a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and 14.9-inch infotainment touchscreen, housed under the same curved piece of glass. It runs BMW Operating System 8, plus wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. BMW is also adopting augmented reality navigation and digital key connectivity.
• Safety: For the 2025 model year, the X5 earned a Top Safety Pick+ award from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). That encompasses top scores in both crash tests and front-crash prevention tech.
• Starting price: Pricing starts at $67,475 for the base RWD X5 sDrive40i.

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 2028 inventory to mature.
