BMW M5 used-car buying guide: should you buy one?

Frequently searched questions
BMW M5 used-car questions.
Direct answers to common model-level searches. A specific vehicle still needs registration, history and condition checks.
Should I buy a used BMW M5?
A used BMW M5 may be worth considering when its size, body type and intended use match your needs. The correct decision still depends on the exact car, its mileage, history, condition, asking price and seller evidence.
Who is the BMW M5 best suited to?
It should be compared against your passenger, luggage, journey and budget requirements before you shortlist an advert.
Which BMW M5 version should I compare?
Start with the registration year, generation, body style, trim and exact powertrain. Compare like-for-like adverts and do not assume that equipment or specification is identical across the full model range.

No. This is an independent editorial buying guide. Duewise vehicle checks are not limited to the models that have an advice page in this library.
