New BMW i5 for Sale nearMason, WV

How much does the BMW i5 cost in today's market?

Used BMW i5 prices span a wide range depending on model year. Here's what the market looks like right now:

The BMW i5's current nationwide average price is $58,026, and over the past year it reached a low of $57,583. Recently, prices have come down for the 2024 and 2025 models, making now a good time to shop recent model years.

Is the BMW i5 a good car?

The BMW i5 looks like a compelling luxury EV if you value driving enjoyment, comfort, and range, but the ownership feedback and tech experience create a clear trade-off.

The all-generations owner rating is 1/5 across every model year in the data.

Expert reviews rate the 2024 model among the highest across all years.

The main recurring drawbacks are the unintuitive technology, the overabundance of on-screen controls, and the way some secondary functions require extra menu digging.

38.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.

Are BMW i5 models reliable?

Owners consistently rate the BMW i5 very poorly, while expert commentary points to a well-built cabin, smooth ride quality, and strong driving manners. That combination suggests the car can feel polished on the road even as long-term ownership confidence may be a concern for used buyers.

• Owners rate the BMW i5 1.0 out of 5 stars across all model years in the data.

For used buyers, that makes careful inspection and a thorough test drive especially important before you commit.

What should I look for when buying a used BMW i5?

Across all model years, accident-free inventory is excellent at 96.5% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.

Key things to evaluate:

• Infotainment: BMW iDrive infotainment with sharp graphics, quick responses, natural speech commands, wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and a wireless charging pad.
• Range & charging: 84.3-kWh battery pack, EPA-estimated 270 to 295 miles, and up to 320 miles from an eDrive 40 model.
• Battery health: Check battery state-of-health, review how the car has been charged over time, and confirm the remaining battery warranty before you buy.

Which BMW i5 trim should I buy?

The 2024 BMW i5 offers these trims:

• eDrive40: The entry-level rear-wheel-drive model with 335 horsepower, 295 pound-feet of torque, and EPA-estimated range between 270 and 295 miles; it suits you if you want the best-value starting point.
• xDrive40: Adds a second motor and all-wheel drive, with 389 horsepower, 435 pound-feet of torque, and estimated range between 248 and 266 miles; this is the trim to choose if you want more traction and power.
• M60 xDrive: The performance-focused trim with 593 horsepower, 586 pound-feet of torque, a 3.7-second 0-60 mph estimate, and a sport-tuned adaptive suspension.

What BMW i5 do most buyers choose?

The BMW i5 years with the most listings are 2025, 2024, and 2026.

Higher-volume years usually give you more choices, which can make it easier to compare prices, mileage, and equipment. They also tend to be the years shoppers return to most often when they want a balance of availability and value.

What is the BMW i5's resale value?

Both model years show price declines, which can work in your favor if you're shopping used. The larger drop on the newer year suggests recent inventory has softened more quickly, while the older year has also moved down at a steadier pace. The 2024 and 2025 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.

Is the BMW i5 safe?

• 2024: 7/10

All i5 models come standard with frontal collision warning with automatic emergency braking, a blind-spot monitor with rear cross-traffic alert, and lane-keep assist.

For the safest used buy, the 2024 model posts the highest confirmed score of 7/10.

Should I buy a used BMW i5 now or wait for the next model?

Buy now if:

• Price trend: The 2025 model is at −9.88% versus a year ago, and the 2024 model is at −6.38%.
• Deal availability: The 2025 model has 38.5% good and great deals, and the 2024 model has 35.3%.
• Sweet-spot year: The 2025 model has the most listings at a current average price of $59,845. The BMW i5 offers a smooth, quiet ride and a comfortable cabin that make it feel especially well suited to daily driving.

Consider waiting if:

• Range & charging: The 2024 BMW i5 is available in two trim levels. We drove the entry-level eDrive40 which utilizes a single-electric-motor powertrain with rear-wheel drive (RWD). It's good for 335 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque and should accelerate the i5 to 60 mph in 5.7 seconds. Power is drawn from an 84.3-kWh battery pack in the floor and range varies between an EPA-estimated 270 and 295 miles, depending on which wheels you choose.
• Tech: Many systems such as entertainment, navigation, and climate control can be operated with natural speech commands, and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard.
• Safety: All i5 models come standard with frontal collision warning with automatic emergency braking, a blind-spot monitor with rear cross-traffic alert, and lane-keep assist.
• Starting price: Prices for the new BMW i5 eDrive40 single-motor model start at $67,795.

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.
