What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the the BMW 5-Series
| Price of the BMW 5-Series: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 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 | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 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 |

| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2010 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 300hp 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
Panel aligment is good, as are interior seams. |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 230-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Solid, quiet, sturdy |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 360-horsepower 4.8L V8 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
Very tight and solid. Nothing cheap about the workmanship. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 300hp 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Top quality - fit and finish is flawless |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 230-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
The fit and finish on my new 528i were excellent. Not a flaw found yet. |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 360-horsepower 4.8L V8 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
well put together with good materials |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 174-horsepower 2.0L I6 6-speed manual RWD |
Excellent material and fit everywhere, the desing maybe abit more simplistic that i would like but the material and build is superb. Even a hardcore japanese brand fan -a friend of mine- admitted the build and materials used |
| 2005 | 4dr Sedan 225-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
Top quality German manufacturing excellence |
| 2005 | 4dr Sedan 325-horsepower 4.4L V8 6-speed manual RWD |
Well made, with quality materials. Definitely a step up from the 3-series I owned previously. |
| 2004 | 4dr Sedan 325-horsepower 4.4L V8 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
Materials and workmanship are first-rate. |
| 2003 | 4dr Sedan 225-horsepower 3.0L I6 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
Top quality throughout, very few shortcuts |
| 2002 | 4dr Sedan 225-horsepower 3.0L I6 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
This car is extremely high quality with tight panel fits and soft touch materials. |
| Materials and Workmanship of the BMW 5-Series: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2010 | 4dr Sedan 230-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed manual AWD |
I drove both the 3 & 5 series - 328x is far too small inside & materials are worse than my Honda Pilot. The 5 series was a lot better, about as good as my Jetta, but no close to the quality of the Audi (which was $30000 less). |
| 2002 | 4dr Sedan 184-horsepower 2.5L I6 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
Electrical and cooling system are a joke |
