Used BMW 5 Series

With its blend of balanced handling, refined engines and a premium cabin, the BMW 5 Series has long been the go-to executive saloon for drivers who want comfort without giving up driving enjoyment. First launched in the 1970s, the 5 Series has built its reputation for being engaging to drive, making it equally at home tackling daily commutes, family trips or long motorway drives. Often compared with rivals like the Mercedes E-Class or Audi A6, it stands out for subtle luxury and a reassuringly solid drive. As the generations have evolved, so has the technology. The 2010–2017 models remain popular for their timeless design and wide choice of engines. Post-2017 versions sharpen their looks and add advanced safety systems, upgraded infotainment and efficient mild-hybrid or plug-in hybrid powertrains. Whichever era you choose, a used BMW 5 Series promises comfort, space and driver involvement, making it a dependable choice for both business and family life.

Pros

Balanced ride and handling
Huge engine line-up (diesel, petrol, hybrid, M5)
Strong safety and infotainment tech

Cons

Running costs higher than average saloons
Diesel reliability can vary
Big footprint = careful parking needed

What are the key safety features of the BMW 5 Series?

Even older models have airbags, stability control, traction control and auto emergency braking. Post-2017 cars raise the game with adaptive LED headlights, lane departure warning and a suite of advanced driver aids.
What engine options are available with the BMW 5 Series?

Take your pick from diesels like the frugal 520d, mid-range 525d/530d, or petrols from the 520i up to the snarling M5's V8. From 2017, BMW threw in mild-hybrids and plug-in hybrids (530e, 545e) for greener motoring without losing that 5 Series charm. And the M Sport trims? They keep the same engines as their regular counterparts, but dressed up with sporty flair.
What are the standard technology and infotainment features in the BMW 5 Series?

Most 5 Series come loaded: sat nav, DAB, Bluetooth and a slick touchscreen are the basics. Step into mid-2010s cars and you'll find voice control, parking sensors and USB ports. Newer ones pile on Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and wireless charging.
What is the fuel consumption of the BMW 5 Series?

The diesel 520d can stretch beyond 50mpg without trying too hard. Petrols hover around 35mpg, while the plug-in hybrid 530e can officially crack 100mpg if you're diligent about charging. It's best to expect less on long, petrol-only runs.
What should I check when buying a used BMW 5 Series?

Paperwork first: a full service history is essential, especially for diesels. Then scan for common wear and tear – think infotainment glitches, warning lights or suspension wear. Watch for timing-chain wear in diesels, plus air-suspension and EGR/DPF concerns. Check the alloys and bodywork for scuffs, and if you want belt-and-braces reassurance, book The AA Vehicle Inspection before you buy.
Are BMW 5 Series cars reliable?

Generally, yes – particularly if well-maintained. Petrols age gracefully, while diesels can sometimes struggle with emissions systems or suspension parts. Most issues are minor (electronics, trim), and recent models have scored strongly in UK reliability surveys. Keep it serviced, and it'll look after you in return.
