Should I buy a used BMW 5 Series now or wait for the next model?

Buy now if:

Consider waiting if:

• Powertrain/efficiency: The latest 530i pairs a 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine with a mild hybrid system for 255 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque, and Natural Resources Canada says it should return 7.9 L/100 km combined.
• Tech: The latest model includes a 12.3-inch configurable driver display, a 14.9-inch touchscreen infotainment display, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and wireless smartphone charging.
• Safety: The latest model adds the Advanced Driver Assistance Package with active cruise control with stop and go functionality, active lane change assist, lane keep and lane change assistant, and Highway Assistant.
• Starting price: In Canada, 2026 BMW 5 Series models range from $76,179 CAD to $157,814 CAD.

If you're buying used today, the 2017 model year offers the best mix of value and availability. If you want the latest tech and features, it may be worth waiting for the next model year's inventory to build up.
