The BMW 545 at a glance

BMW designed the 545 to deliver powerful, smooth performance and genuine long-distance comfort – an ideal mix for business and family drivers. This model is part of the popular BMW 5 Series range, which many consider the go-to luxury saloon. The 545 badge first appeared with a strong 4.4-litre V8 petrol engine with quick acceleration, while the most common model today is the 545e plug-in hybrid offering efficient, near-silent running. Compared to rivals like the Mercedes E-Class and Audi A6, the BMW 5 Series delivers a sportier drive while maintaining cabin comfort as a priority.

Pros

  • Icon - tickPunchy and smooth powertrain
  • Icon - tickHigh interior quality
  • Icon - tickPlenty of tech features

Cons

  • Icon - crossHigher costs
  • Icon - crossLess boot space than some competitors
  • Icon - crossTighter legroom in the rear

Hire Purchase (HP)

HP is a finance plan that allows you to spread the cost of the car by making monthly payments over an agreed term.

You make higher monthly payments than a Personal Contract Purchase (PCP) agreement, so that when you come to the end of the agreement you'll own the car.

Unlike PCP, there are no limits on mileage.

HP could be right for you if want to own the car at the end of the agreement, without the need to make a larger final payment.

  • What are the key safety features of the BMW 545?

    The BMW 545 comes equipped with a comprehensive set of safety features, including multiple airbags, stability and traction control, and adaptive cruise control. Options such as lane departure warning and blind spot monitoring are also available.

  • What engine options are available with the BMW 545?

    The earlier 545i used a 4.4-litre V8 petrol engine, delivering quick acceleration and ample motorway strength. Newer models feature a silky-smooth 3.0-litre straight-six combined with plug-in hybrid technology for a spirited yet more efficient drive.

  • What are the standard technology and infotainment features in the BMW 545?

    Most BMW 545s benefit from iDrive – BMW’s acclaimed infotainment system – with a sizeable touchscreen, navigation, and Bluetooth. Later models often include wireless smartphone charging, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and digital driver displays as standard.

  • What is the fuel consumption of the BMW 545?

    Fuel consumption depends on the generation. The early V8 545i averages around 25mpg in mixed driving. The latest 545e plug-in hybrid officially offers over 150mpg if regularly charged, plus an electric-only range of just over 30 miles. Real-world figures vary depending on usage and charging habits.

  • What should I check when buying a used BMW 545?

    Ensure a full service history, as these are complex cars. Listen for knocks or rattles from the suspension, check for dashboard warning lights, and confirm the high-voltage battery warranty is intact on 545e models. Consider a thorough check via The AA Vehicle Inspection for added reassurance.

  • Are BMW 545 cars reliable?

    BMW 5 Series models score well for general reliability and comfort, though the 545’s complex tech (especially on hybrids) can mean higher repair costs if things go wrong. With up-to-date maintenance, long-term satisfaction with the car’s engine and build quality is likely.
