Used BMW 5 Series for Sale | Pre Owned 5 Series India

Overview

Owning a BMW 5 Series is not about getting to point A to B; it is about that Sunday morning drive where the whine of the engine assures pure performance and your leather seating grips you with executive accuracy. Although the cost of a brand new model may make it feel expensive the cost of a pre own 5 Series provides the same Sweet Spot of luxury, midway between the common 3 Series and the flagship 7 Series without necessarily depreciating as much. At Big Boy Toyz (BBT), we will fill the chasm between the desire and reality, whereby the entry into the BMW life is supported by the transparency and the quality that is world standard. The BMW 5 Series is of ancestry dating from 1972. Think about that for a second. More than 50 years of falling in love with business class on four wheels. It is directly in between the every-day 3 Series and the extremely expensive 7 Series - however, it never feels like it was a concession. It feels like the sweet spot.

Model Features

BMW 5 series is packed with features that ensure that every ride is a reward. Some of the features include Adaptive LED headlights, a giant touchscreen infotainment control, wireless charging, panoramic sunroof, and an all-digital instrument cluster. Even the aging models are provided with features that are futuristic.

Variants

The BMW 5 Series in India is currently available as the long-wheelbase 530Li M Sport.

The Perennial Charm of the BMW 520 Series.

The 2010 G68 LWB models are the most innovative in luxury, but the older BMW 520d and 520i models are still some of the most popular cars at Big Boy Toyz. These versions are touted as the most approachable and pocket friendly entry into the BMW clan.

  • Highway: ~14–15 kmpl

Design and Comfort

It just smells of quality as you open the door. The BMW 5 Series cabin is one of the finest in its category: wide front seats, ample legroom in back, soft-touch materials from the last inch of the car, and a design of a car that simply makes sense. Long highway drives? This car was made for them.

Performance & Engine

Currently the BMW 5 Series is running on a 2.0L turbocharged inline-4 petrol engine with 48V mild-hybrid technology with power outputs of 255-258 bhp and a torque of 400 Nm. It is fitted with an 8-speed automatic transmission and it drives the wheels on the back. Its 0-100km/h acceleration stands at 6.5 seconds which is a very smooth and good driving experience in a luxury sedan.

Interior & Technology

The recent BMW 5 series available in India (530 Li M Sport, G68) have iDrive 8.5 and a 14.9 inch touchscreen as well as 12.3 inch digital instrument cluster which make the display a curved one. It has adaptive headlights with LED, illuminated kidney grille, panoramic glass roof, ambient lighting, 4-zone climate control, ventilated front seats, 360 Roof camera, and Harman Kardon sound.

Safety Features

The higher trims have active cruise control, lane departure warning, emergency braking assist, blind spot monitoring, front and rear rear parking sensors, as well as a 360-degree camera. In the case of the second hand BMW 5 Series, you are receiving the safety tech that is still competitive with modern vehicles.

Variants Available in India

The 5 Series models that were sold in India over the years have consisted of the 520d Luxury Line, 520d M Sport, 520i Sport, 530d Luxury Line, 530d M Sport, and 530i M Sport. They all are aimed at a slightly different type of buyer, yet each of them provides that unmistakable BMW driving feel.

Pros and Cons

Pros: Excellent dynamics, exquisite interior finishes, powerful engine, excellent brand value, and lengthy features list. Cons: It is more expensive to service than a mass-market car, the parts can be required to be bought in a special parts store, and it can be costly to feed the petrol variants.

Why Buying Used Is Smart

An honest answer to this is the following: Yes, on one side; Yes, on the other side; Yes, when you know what you are out to; Yes, when you get it at the right place. One of the strongest value propositions in the luxury car market is a second-hand BMW 5 series and an old BMW 5 Series in India. The appreciation has already occurred. The joy has not aged a day.

Who This Car Is For

This is a car that will not force an individual to make compromises. The business traveller who feels like making an impression. The family which aspires to serious comfort on long road journeys. The customer is looking to wear the badge of a BMW vehicle and also drive like one without the BMW new-car price tag.

Why Used Makes Sense

A second-hand BMW 5 Series will provide you with the same level of quality, the same technology and the same type of prestige at a much cheaper entry price. The car is designed as over-engineered and it can withstand a long period of time, when maintained properly. In BBT, all the cars are checked, certified, and supported by clear records.

What to Check Before Buying

The first thing to check is the service history. Has it been serviced within recognised BMW centres? Look in evidence of an accident having entered into. Have it fully mechanically inspected. Check the ownership documents. All this is done at Big Boy Toyz before the car is on list.

Ownership Profile

Majority of the secondary BMW 5 Series in India were originally company cars - executive chauffeurs. This implies that they were usually clean, serviced and usually in the comfort mode while driving. Later generations also possess the self-drive ownership. Both profiles would make legendary purchases in case the automobile passes out.

Price Range in India

It will depend on variant, condition, mileage, and the year, when determining prices. The 520d is the cheapest and the most accessible one. The 530d M Sport is luxurious even on the used market due to its performance feature.

Ownership Cost

Maintenance of a German sedan is quite expensive and the BMW condition based service allows to predict the cost of the same.

• Annual Servicing: ₹25,000 – ₹45,000
• Insurance: ₹80,000 – ₹1.2 Lakh per year
• Tyres: A set of four run-flats can cost ₹60,000 – ₹95,000
• Total Annual Maintenance: The mean expense of the yearly maintenance will be approximately 1.2 Lakh to 1.6 Lakh including insurance and regular maintenance.
• BMW India has a large network of approved service centres. Authentic components can be obtained at the dealer network, and online through authorised sources.

Competitors

You are also most probably considering these options when you are shopping for a second hand BMW 5 Series. These are just a brief observation of the way the competitive landscape is going in the luxury executive sedan used car market.

• Mercedes-Benz E-Class
• Audi A6
• Volvo S90
• Jaguar XF
• Mercedes-Benz CLS
