The median 2024 BMW 5-Series in the Canadian market sits at $59,900. That's your anchor. If someone quotes you well above it, you want a reason.
Most cars land in a tight band between $58,900 and $62,000. A roughly $3,100 spread is narrow, which tells you sellers are pricing these close together. There isn't much room to argue your way to a bargain, but there isn't much room for a seller to gouge either.
What to actually pay
With the typical range that compressed, anything at or under $58,900 is genuinely on the low end and worth a hard look. Push past $62,000 and you're paying a premium for whatever the seller thinks justifies it. Get them to spell out what that is.
Median mileage across these is about 16,000 km, so most 2024s are barely broken in. If a car you're looking at is well under that number, it's fair to expect a price at the top of the range. Well over it, and you've got a reason to negotiate down toward $58,900.
