The 2022 BMW 5-Series sits at a median of $43,000 across live Canadian listings. Most cars land between $38,970 and $47,923, so that spread is your reality check. Anything under $39,000 deserves a closer look at mileage and history. Anything over $48,000 needs a reason, whether that's a loaded trim or unusually low kilometres.
Median mileage on these cars is 77,300 km. That's a useful anchor, because a 2022 with far less than that is either barely driven or priced to reflect it. Use the median odometer as your baseline when you're weighing two cars against each other.
What mileage does to the price
Kilometres move the number, but not dramatically. Every 10,000 km of extra use knocks about $461 off the asking price. So a car with 50,000 km more than another, same trim otherwise, should run roughly $2,300 cheaper. That's real money, though it's smaller than a lot of buyers assume. A well-kept higher-mileage 5-Series can be the smarter buy if the seller hasn't priced the wear in.
The trim gap is where the bigger decisions live. The 540i carries a median of $47,495, with most examples between $44,944 and $49,469. The 530i sits well below at $37,974, and its range is tight, $36,888 to $39,672. That's close to a $9,500 spread at the median. If you don't need the bigger engine, the 530i is the value play here, and its narrow range means less guesswork on what a fair price looks like.
