2007 BMW 5 Series Used Price Estimates

It costs more than it should, but among midsize luxury sedans and wagons, the 2007 BMW 5 Series is by far the most satisfying to drive.

First introduced to the U.S. in 1975, the BMW 5 Series has never wavered in its mission as a midsize car that functions equally well as a luxury liner and a performance machine. As such, it has long been the benchmark by which other premium sport sedans and wagons are measured. The first 5 Series sedan was powered by an inline six-cylinder engine, a tradition that continues to the current day, as the 2007 BMW 5 Series offers a pair of refined and potent inline sixes as well. Of course you can also get a V8. Until 2005, all 5 Series sedans and wagons sold in the U.S. were rear-wheel drive; BMW added all-wheel-drive (AWD) versions to the lineup for 2006. In fact, the 5 Series wagon is now available only with AWD.

Last redesigned for the 2004 model year, the BMW 5 Series has more radical styling than any of the four preceding generations, along with an impressive arsenal of technology. BMW's Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) system is standard as always. Like other stability control systems, DSC uses steering angle and yaw rate sensors to help you avoid skids, but what you might not realize is how many other subtle functions it incorporates, including a brake fade compensation feature (hydraulic pressure is automatically increased as brake temperature rises), a brake standby feature (which automatically snugs the brake pads against the rotors when the driver lifts off the throttle abruptly) and a brake drying feature (which periodically touches the pads to the rotors to remove any moisture when the windshield wipers are in use). On models with AWD, DSC teams up with the xDrive system to improve traction and balance on slippery surfaces. Whenever DSC takes corrective braking action on a single wheel, xDrive automatically redirects torque to the wheel opposite it. This means the car can keep moving even if only one wheel has traction.

Besides all that, 5 Series buyers can opt for Active Roll Stabilization (part of the Sport package), which uses adaptive shocks to reduce body roll when rounding a corner, and Active Front Steering, which adjusts both the steering ratio and the amount of power assist for optimum feel and control under varying driving conditions. Inside the cockpit of every 5 Series, the iDrive vehicle management system links all the climate, audio and navigation functions through a central screen operated by a console-mounted dial that works much like a computer's mouse. Although simple climate and audio adjustments can be made without using iDrive, more complex operations are often buried under layers of on-screen menus. Don't expect to master iDrive unless you're willing to sit down with the owner's manual.

The almost endless array of technology and polarizing sheet metal may distinguish the current-generation BMW 5 Series in the minds of consumers, but in the end, it's the Bimmer's continued status as a true driver's car that will make the sale. Many competitors rival it for luxury and technological sophistication, but none can match the BMW's level of driver involvement. High pricing is the only thing that prevents us from giving the 2007 BMW 5 Series a hands-down recommendation.

The 2007 BMW 5 Series sedan comes in 525i, 525xi, 530i, 530xi and 550i models. The wagon is available in 530xi trim only. Standard equipment includes automatic climate control, a CD player, one-touch power windows, rain-sensing windshield wipers and heated mirrors. Ten-way power front seats are also standard, with 20-way power seats available as a package option. Leatherette upholstery is standard on all models except the 550i, which gets standard leather. The iDrive vehicle management system is integrated into all 5 Series models, while a DVD-based navigation system with voice command and adaptive cruise control are optional. On the audio side, buyers can get a glovebox-mounted CD/DVD changer as well as a premium-grade Harman Kardon Logic 7 sound system. Other options to consider include adaptive bi-xenon headlights, a night-vision system, Active Front Steering (AFS), and a sport package with various wheel/run-flat tire upgrades (up to 18 inches in diameter), Active Roll Stabilization and firmer suspension tuning.

Entry-level 525 models come with a 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder that generates 215 horsepower and 185 pound-feet of torque. Midlevel 530 models get an upgraded version of this engine that develops 255 hp and 220 lb-ft of torque. The top-of-the-line 550i sedan features a 4.8-liter V8 rated at 360 hp and 360 lb-ft of torque. All models get a six-speed manual standard, with a six-speed Steptronic automatic as an option. The rear-drive 530i and 550i can also be had with BMW's sequential manual gearbox (SMG), a sophisticated transmission that combines the control of a manual with the ease of an automatic. BMW's xDrive all-wheel-drive system is available on 525 and 530 sedans, and standard on the wagon. Note that the wagon also comes with a self-leveling rear suspension to help balance the heavier cargo loads it's apt to carry.

Standard safety equipment includes Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) and four-wheel disc brakes with electronic brake proportioning, cornering and stability enhancements. The airbag array incorporates a head protection system and torso-protecting side-impact airbags for the front seats. Rear-seat side airbags are optional and, due to safety concerns, you must specifically request that your dealer activate the bags if you order this option. Active front head restraints and Advanced Safety Electronics (ASE) that govern the deployment of safety systems are also optional. Both Hill-Start Assist and Hill Descent Control are standard on AWD models, in case your extra-steep driveway ever gets slippery. A flat-tire monitor is standard on all 5 Series cars and run-flat tires are available. The 5 Series was named a "Best Pick" in IIHS frontal offset crash testing.

The 2007 BMW 5 Series is an extremely balanced machine that can handle aggressive driving maneuvers on winding back roads as well as it does weekday commutes on crumbling expressways. The optional active steering system hasn't dulled BMW's trademark steering feel, though driving purists will prefer the standard setup. Likewise, the standard suspension tuning gives the 5 Series plenty of capability in the corners. The base inline six offers adequate power, while the 255-hp version offers the best compromise between performance and economy. Equipping the 5 Series with the V8 turns it into a seriously fast sedan that will outpace many sports cars.

The driver-oriented 5 Series cockpit greets passengers with a classy if austere show of luxury. Build and materials quality is outstanding, but some competitors' interiors are warmer and more inviting. The multifunction iDrive interface integrates the audio, climate and navigation systems. Basic functions can be accomplished without going through iDrive, but more complex tasks require drivers to wade through too many menus. Supportive seating is provided in both the front and rear, and even adults won't mind sitting in the backseat. The sedan has 14 cubic feet of trunk capacity, while the wagon has a 34-cubic-foot cargo bay behind its rear seats along with standard roof rails.

Even in base form, the 550i is a driver's delight, thanks in great measure to its potent V8 and the Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) that integrates its computer-controlled stability enhancement with traction control and anti-lock brakes (ABS). Our test car also had two key options: Active Steering and the Sport Package. The former varies the steering ratio in a way that makes the vehicle easier to maneuver in close confines while helping it feel more stable when cruising at higher speeds. The latter - which includes BMW's Active Suspension, Active Roll Stabilization and 18-inch run-flat tires - imparts an overtly sporty feel to the 550i - although some owners may find the more supple feel of the base suspension more to their liking.

Xenon Adaptive Headlamps Optional on lesser 5 Series models but standard on the 550i, these ultrabright illuminators shine with an intense blue-white beam, that closely approximates natural daylight, and also turn with the steering wheel to help you see further ahead into a corner. Optional Multi-Contour SeatsWhile the standard 10-way power front buckets deserve kudos for comfort and support, the optional 20-way multi-contour units with articulated backrests, variable side and thigh bolsters and four-way lumbar support raise the long-distance travel experience to an entirely new level.

Elegantly understated, the 550i's cabin is trimmed in Dakota premium leather and poplar or maple wood keyed to black, grey, auburn or tan color motifs. Front-seat occupants enjoy comfortable and supportive 10-way power front buckets while the spacious rear quarters offer a split-folding rear bench with sufficient room to accommodate two full-size adults or a trio of kids. Highly-legible analog gauges provide basic information on vehicle speed, engine revs and fuel level, but the centerpiece of the dash is a color LCD screen connected to the love-it-or-hate-it iDrive integrated input system that uses a central rotator knob to control everything from the audio and air conditioning to the optional navigation and adjustable suspension systems.

Visually, the latest 5 Series stands in stark contrast to BMWs of the past, with subtle corners and simple lines giving way to sharp-creased edges and cat's-eye headlight lenses that, with the 550i, house corner-following active bi-xenon lamps. Several heritage details remain, such as the twin-kidney grille and dogleg kink in the C-pillar. But with its bustle-back trunk and sculpted side panels, the 550i has definitely moved to new design territory.

Heading the 550i's long list of standard equipment is premium leather upholstery and wood interior trim, dual-zone automatic climate control, 10-way power seats with power lumbar support, a power tilt/telescoping leather-wrapped steering wheel with touch controls, iDrive multifunction integrated controller, 10-speaker AM/FM/CD/MP3 audio system, keyless remote entry and a power moonroof. Functional touches include the comprehensive Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) system that also integrates the 550i's traction control and advanced anti-lock brakes (ABS), bi-xenon adaptive headlamps, dual heated power mirrors with a "look-down" feature that helps in parallel parking, Park Distance Control and fog lamps. Front and front-side airbags are complemented by BMW's front and rear side-curtain head protection airbag system.

Extras for the 550i include either BMW's six-speed Sequential Manual Gearbox (SMG) or the STEPTRONIC automatic transmission at no additional charge, a voice-activated navigation system, distance-maintaining "active" cruise control, Head-up Display, speed-sensitive Active Steering, rear side-impact airbags, keyless entry and start, 20-way power multi-contour seats and SIRIUS Satellite Radio. Key group upgrades include the Sport Package (sport suspension, Active Roll Stabilization, 20-way multi-contour seats and 18-inch run-flat performance tires), Premium Sound Package (LOGIC7 Surround Sound audio with glovebox-mounted six-disc CD changer) and the Cold Weather Package (heated front seats and steering wheel and a high-pressure headlight cleaning system.

The 550i shares its 4.8-liter DOHC V8 with the larger 7 Series sedan. Making a smooth 360 horsepower and 360 pound-feet of torque, this free-revving engine is fortified with BMW's Valvetronic variable intake valve lift and Double VANOS variable intake/exhaust valve timing, advanced technologies that help to quicken its throttle response and enhance overall fuel efficiency. BMW claims zero to 60-mph times of around 5.5 seconds, either with the standard six-speed manual transmission, the six-speed Tiptronic automatic or the racing-style, six-speed Sequential Manual Gearbox (SMG). 4.8-liter V8360 horsepower @ 6300 rpm360 lb.-ft. of torque @ 3400 rpmEPA city/highway fuel economy: 17/24 (manual), 16/22 (SMG), 17/25 (automatic)

The BMW 550i has a Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) of $ 60,485. Currently, the 550i is selling for that full amount, but prices that represent prices consumers are actually paying at any given time can differ substantially, so click on the prices to compare. Though some competitors, such as the Acura RL, Audi A6, Cadillac STS and Infiniti M45, cost less, the BMW 5 Series is generally regarded as the best value in its segment. As a long-term investment, the BMW 550i is the acknowledged leader, clearly outstripping its historic rival, the Mercedes-Benz E550, and earning the Kelley Blue Book 2007 "Best Resale Value Award" in the Luxury category.
