CarGurus Analysis: 2020 BMW 5 Series
Summary
With 1,170 currently listed for sale and an average price of $25,419, 34.4% of 2020 BMW 5 Series models for sale on CarGurus are rated as good or great deals.
Favorably reviewed: Owners rated the 2020 BMW 5 Series 5 / 5 stars.
68.7% of 2020 BMW 5 Series models on CarGurus are accident free.
Why it stands out
The 2020 BMW 5 Series stands out as a midsize luxury sedan that still leans into BMW’s performance heritage, even as it has become more comfortable and less overtly sporty than older versions. In this generation, the regular 5 Series models are described as having softened a bit, with steering that is not as precise or engaging as it once was, but the car still offers more driving enjoyment than many of its staid competitors. It also comes with a strong safety roster, including blind spot monitoring, lane departure warnings with lane keep assist, rear cross-traffic alerts, traffic sign recognition, and automatic high beams.
For 2020, the 5 Series lineup included the 530i, 540i, 530e, 540d, and M550i xDrive. The 530i used a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine with 248 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, while the 540i used a 3.0-liter twin-turbo inline six with 335 horsepower and 332 pound-feet of torque. The 530e plug-in hybrid gained a larger battery for 21 miles of all-electric range, and the M550i received 67 horsepower and 73 lb-ft of torque more than before, bringing it closer to M5 territory. That mix gives buyers a wide spread of choices, from efficiency to serious performance.
The 2020 model also benefits from the G30’s upscale cabin and technology, though BMW’s systems can be complex to learn. Most reviewers liked the design, but many noted that the steering and suspension in the 530i, 540d, and 540i did not feel as engaging as earlier 5 Series models and that the car felt heavy. Even so, its blend of luxury, available performance, and a better reliability record than the earlier F10 generation makes it appealing to shoppers who want a premium sedan with real substance.

Reviewed a 2020 BMW 5 Series on Oct 3, 2023
I was skeptical on the power of the M550 since Im coming from a boosted mustang, but the acceleration impresses me. Lots of cool features, too many if you ask me. Remote start is missing from the 2020 and older M550s.

Is the 2020 BMW 5 Series a good car?
Yes — the 5/5 user rating points to strong owner satisfaction. The 2020 5 Series stands out as a midsize luxury sedan that still leans into BMW’s performance heritage, even as it has become more comfortable and less overtly sporty than older versions. It still offers more driving enjoyment than many of its staid competitors, and it also brings a strong safety roster plus a wide spread of powertrain choices, from efficiency to serious performance. With 35.3% of listings marked as good or great deals, you have a decent chance of finding attractive pricing.
Is the 2020 BMW 5 Series reliable?
Owners rate it 5/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.
The 2020 model also benefits from a better reliability record than the earlier F10 generation, which makes it more appealing if you want a premium sedan with real substance. Even so, BMW’s systems can be complex to learn, so ownership tends to reward buyers who stay on top of maintenance and understand the car’s technology.
What should I look for when buying a used 2020 BMW 5 Series?
At 68.6% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
You should run a vehicle history report before you commit, then prioritize a pre-purchase inspection from a shop that knows BMWs. Focus on condition details that matter in a luxury sedan: signs of prior bodywork, electronics behavior, and how smoothly the car drives and shifts.
Is now a good time to buy a used 2020 BMW 5 Series?
This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop patiently and still find worthwhile options.
- Deal availability: 35.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Inventory: There are 1,170 listings available.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 7.77% compared with last year.
- Clean inventory: 68.6% of listings are accident-free.
If you find a listing below $24,755, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.
What is the 2020 BMW 5 Series's resale value?
The current average of $25,603 sits slightly below last year's $27,760.
That decline suggests the market has already adjusted downward, which can help you buy more confidently today but may also limit near-term upside if you plan to resell soon. For a future seller, the key advantage is that the 5 Series still has broad appeal thanks to its luxury image, performance options, and strong owner satisfaction. If you buy well now, you give yourself a better chance of preserving value later.
Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 5/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.
Should I buy a 2020 BMW 5 Series or consider a different year?
If you're weighing the 2020 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:
Choose the 2020 if:
- 35.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- At 68.6% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 7.77% compared with last year.
- Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
Consider the 2021 if:
- At $28,758, the 2021 costs more than the current year's $25,603 average.
- It adds a 48-volt mild-hybrid system and a bigger infotainment touchscreen.
The bottom line: You should start with the 2020 if you want the better value and are comfortable shopping carefully for condition and history. If you want the newer refresh and are willing to pay more, the 2021 is the stronger secondary path for buyers who prioritize updated tech over price.
