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: 2026 540i models include adaptive cruise control with lane-centering assistance as part of an Assisted Driving system, and the Driving Assistance Professional package adds steering-related lane-change support, evasive-maneuver support, an emergency stop system, and Highway Assistant.
- Infotainment: 2026 models use the 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, plus wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
- 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 mild-hybrid technology to improve efficiency and comes standard with rear-wheel drive.
- 540i: This is the best-value trim, adding the turbocharged 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder engine, standard xDrive all-wheel drive, and the extra refinement and effortless speed that make the 5 Series especially appealing.
- 550e: This plug-in hybrid broadens the lineup for shoppers who want electrified power.
- i5: This all-electric model expands the range for buyers interested in a battery-powered sedan.
- i5 M60: This performance-focused electric trim adds a sportier character within the i5 lineup.

The table shows broad price declines across the lineup, which is good news if you’re shopping used because it opens up more value at every age. The newest models are seeing some of the largest drops, while older years are changing more slowly. That pattern gives you room to compare recent features against lower entry prices.

Should I buy a used BMW 5 Series now or wait for the next model?
Buy now if:
- Price trend: The 2025 model is at −13.08% versus a year ago, and the 2024 model is at −6.72%.
- Deal availability: The 2024 model has 35.6% good and great deals.

Consider waiting if:
- Powertrain/efficiency: The 2026 5 Series pairs a turbocharged 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder engine with 375 horsepower and 384 pound-feet of torque, rising to 398 lb-ft with eBoost assistance, and it returns 28 mpg in combined driving.
- Tech: The 2026 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 Highway Assistant, steering-related lane-change support, evasive-maneuver support, and an emergency stop system through the Driving Assistance Professional package.
- 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.
