If you're in the market for a car that's luxurious, spacious and refined, then a used BMW 5 Series is a great choice. The vehicle has an elegant design and is very spacious and comfortable inside. A wide range of powertrain options ensures maximum power output as well as plenty of efficiency, while the cabin is filled with high-tech equipment.
There have been numerous powertrains offered throughout the years including petrol, diesel and hybrid. These have been paired with automatic or manual transmissions and rear-wheel or four-wheel drive. There is now also an all-electric model, known as the i5.
PetrolThe BMW 5 Series has a spacious cabin and executive style, making it a practical option for families who desire a premium vehicle.
Interior spaceDespite being on the market since 1972, the BMW 5 Series continues to be a popular model among enthusiasts. Its original boxy shape may no longer be present in the modern generations, but it's still engineered with precision parts and filled with innovative tech features. Now in its eighth generation, BMW continues updating the 5 Series to keep it at the top of the mid-size business saloon car class.
The newest lineup may be the sportiest ever offered, and it retains its long wheelbase and flowing design. The Iconic Glow kidney grille, crystalline Interaction Bar and available panoramic glass roof give the vehicle more personality and edgy design.
Further changes were made to the engine options, increasing the power and adding more efficiency. Safety systems were also updated, with the Driving Assistant Professional added in select models.

This generation had a long wheelbase, a flowing roof line and an extended bonnet. Its modelled contours perfectly matched the iconic kidney grille, while the headlights helped to accent the vehicle's width. BMW released new powertrains, including plug-in hybrids for more efficiency. There was also an available adaptive suspension that made the 5 Series more enjoyable to drive.
During a 2020 facelift, the kidney grille received a redesign and the headlights became flatter. New paint finishes were added, along with optional laserlight technology. Comfort seats were offered, and the safety assistance technology was heavily updated.

With more than two million sold, the sixth-generation 5 Series has been the most popular to date. While it was already elegant and sporty, the M Sport Package became available with top-notch enhancements both inside and out.
A 2013 facelift changed some of the styling features and added more engines. These models had standard Xenon headlights and Bluetooth connectivity, which was ahead of its time.

The diesel engines have been the most popular. While they aren't offered in the newest lineup, the incredibly popular 520d made 187bhp while the 530d was rated for 261bhp. Efficiency ratings were over 50mpg, making them cheaper to run.
Today, BMW offers the 5 Series in three model variants: M Sport, Sport Edition and M. The M Sport has been the most popular of the three because it offers plenty of standard equipment for a lower price, with new models showcasing the large touchscreen display and high-tech safety features.
The Live Cockpit Pro with Head up Display is a great tech upgrade, while the front and heated rear seats can provide everyone with more comfort. Customers should also look out for the electric automatic tailgate.
Yes, there's plenty of space in the 5 Series and the boot space is impressive, especially with the plug-in hybrid configurations. With updated entertainment and comfort features, even long drives can be enjoyable.
BMW has several hybrid powertrains available with the 5 Series, offering up to 63 miles of driving per charge. There's also a newer i5 model, which is the electric version of the 5 Series.
Yes, the majority of 5 Series models were built and sold with an automatic transmission, so most used examples are automatic. There's still the option to choose a used 5 Series with a manual gearbox, but they are more difficult to find.
Yes, the 5 Series has been available with BMW's xDrive all-wheel drive system to add more capability to the lineup, and there are plenty of them available among the used cars. However, most models had a rear-wheel drive for sportier handling.
