Inventory vs. Competition
Although just recently redesigned, BMW has more 5 Series in stock than it’s competitors do of their vehicles. The likelihood of finding one you like is still slim, however, ordering one does seem like a likely solution.
Estimated 5 Year Residual by Model
Although never precise, experts estimate that the 5 Series will lose about 60% of its value in 5 years, however this is in line with the rest of its vehicles in its segment, and has been consistently so historically.
Inventory by Trim
Mixed in the 1300 available 530i models, nearly half are all wheel drive and the other half rear wheel drive. The bulk of inventory is going to be on the 4 cylinder engine, and 540s are generally going to be tougher to get, especially at ad discount.
