About the BMW 5 Series

Approved Used BMW 5 Series Image 1

The BMW 5 Series has been a key part of the brand’s line-up for over 50 years, debuting in 1972. The 5 Series has been through multiple generations, with its seventh unveiled in 2017, and given a design facelift in 2020.

The used BMW 5 Series range incorporates two body styles – the Saloon and the Touring, though a Gran Turismo model was introduced in 2009 and remained in production until 2017.

Dick Lovett BMW has a great choice of competitively priced, approved used BMW 5 Series models for sale, including M Sport and SE trims.

Our latest deals and offers can be found online, or you can visit our BMW dealerships located in the South West – at Bristol, Hungerford, Melksham (near Bath) and Swindon.

Why Buy a Used BMW 5 Series?

The 5 Series has been a hugely popular model for BMW for over half a century, and stands out as an excellent option. As you’d expect with a BMW, a used BMW 5 Series delivers a superb driving experience but it’s the overall package that impresses most.

A used 5 Series BMW is a versatile car with high levels of comfort and luxury throughout, not least from the interior, which is beautifully designed. In terms of tech, the in-cabin infotainment system includes Apple CarPlay, Android AutoTM and Bluetooth, as well as sat nav on later models. All in all, a comprehensive selection.

With five seats providing lots of room for driver and passengers to relax, and a boot with generous capacity, a used BMW 5 Series is made for practicality as well as style. This is a car built for family use, and also a great option for business users.

On the road, a used BMW 5 Series is capable of raw power and quick acceleration, and effortless cruising, depending on the engine type and size of model. Yet, it’s also an economical car, especially the diesel versions.

All used BMW 5 Series models available at Dick Lovett are approved and come complete with a manufacturer-supported warranty. The warranty provides your used BMW with unlimited mileage protection against breakdown, and also any repair costs for parts and labour. 

Your BMW is covered for 12 months minimum, but newer used BMW 5 Series cars get the added benefit of the balance of a new car warranty. A 5 Series that’s one year old will still have two years left on the warranty. Find contact details for your nearest Dick Lovett BMW dealership here.

Tips & Advice for Buying a Used BMW 5 Series

Engine range, body style, choice of trim – there are lots of factors under consideration if you’re thinking of buying a used BMW 5 Series.

The most important of these buying choices is surely body style. The BMW 5 Series used range has two; the Saloon, which has a sporty exterior, and the Touring, which combines driving dynamics with the increased size of an estate model. There isn’t a better option – it completely depends on your preference and what you’re looking for.

Within the BMW 5 Series used range, there is a good choice of different engines, with petrol, diesel, mild hybrid and hybrid all available, in sizes from 2.0 litre to 4.4 litre.

The entry-level petrol model is the 520i. This model delivers 0-62 mph in 7.9 seconds, and a top speed of 146 mph, but if you want next level performance, the M550i has a massive 530BHP and hits 0-62mph in a rapid 3.8 seconds.

Diesel engines include the 518d, 520d, 530d and 535d. There’s still plenty of punch in the used BMW 5 Series diesel versions, with the mild hybrid 520d the pick in terms of fuel economy (combined MPG is 58). 

The hybrid engines include the 530e and the 545e, which provide all-electric ranges between 34 and 37 miles, though older used BMW 5 Series may be slightly less.

There are two different trims available. The SE is the base model, but is well equipped with standard spec including ambient interior lighting and LED headlights. Or, you can opt for the M Sport trim, which brings larger alloy wheels, aerodynamic bodystyling, and, in selected engine models, M Sport brakes.

Whichever used 5 Series BMW you choose, at Dick Lovett we can help to make the buying process as simple and straightforward as possible with a choice of finance deals. We offer Personal Contract Purchase (PCP) or Hire Purchase (HP) plans, which can help you to structure payments over an agreed period. PCP and HP have different terms, so make sure you understand how each works before deciding which option is best for you.
