What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the BMW 5-Series

Price of the BMW 5-Series: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2008 4dr Sedan turbocharged 300hp 3.0L I6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 Better than the Lexus I was looking at for a much better handling and more luggage space vehicle.
Price of the BMW 5-Series: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2010 4dr Wagon turbocharged 300hp 3.0L I6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 Too expensive for what you get.
2006 4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.0L I6
6-speed shiftable automatic RWD		 for 60k the 5 series seems a bit pricy compared to what you can get from even an acura TL for instance.
2006 4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.0L I6
6-speed shiftable automatic RWD		 I paid cash, but they do not usually offer incentives on the 5 series. That may have changed in this economy but the 5 series has few incentives.
2006 4dr Wagon 255-horsepower 3.0L I6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 Very expensive car 90K CDN or 60K USD new. Very pricey for a car.
2002 4dr Sedan 225-horsepower 3.0L I6
5-speed manual RWD		 Compared to the implicit value of Genesis, BMW simply charges too much for what you get...$25K delta just not justifiable.
2001 4dr Sedan 225-horsepower 3.0L I6
5-speed shiftable automatic RWD		 still a high payment
2000 4dr Sedan 282-horsepower 4.4L V8
6-speed manual RWD		 Mostly about the depreciation - you will lose money

2011 2dr Hatch 122-horsepower 1.5L I4 Hybrid
6-speed manual FWD		 Only Hybrid manual transmission available starting under 20,000. The base model has many "non-base" features - decent sound system, USB link, power windows, power locks, cruse, nice wheels...
