Compare BMW i5 trim prices and published specs before you visit

The 2026 BMW i5 comes in three trims, and each one seats five people. Starting prices run from $67,100 for the eDrive40 to $84,100 for the M60, according to BMW’s published 2026 specifications.

The xDrive40 costs $3,000 more than the eDrive40 and adds 54 horsepower. If price comes first, the eDrive40 is the starting point. If power matters most, the M60 has the most of both power and torque, and it costs $17,000 more than the eDrive40.

Should you buy a new, used or certified pre-owned BMW i5?

BMW of Arlington lists all three, and you can reserve an incoming vehicle from the inventory page. Choose new if you want the factory warranty from day one. The 2026 i5 carries a 4 year/50,000-mile BMW New Vehicle/SAV Limited Warranty, according to BMW’s published 2026 specifications.

Certified pre-owned is the middle path. To be certified, a pre-owned BMW must be from a recent model year, have under 60,000 miles, and pass an inspection against a Certified checklist done by a BMW-certified technician. BMW’s program also requires the car to be 5 years old or newer with more than 300 miles, and after the original warranty ends, the BMW Certified Pre-Owned Limited Protection Plan covers one year with unlimited miles (BMW of North America, 2026).

Our used inventory includes makes other than BMW. The dealership is an authorized BMW M Certified Dealer.

How do you get your trade-in valued before visiting BMW of Arlington?

Get a value for your trade before you visit, so you have a number to measure any offer against. Write down the mileage, the trim and the condition of the car. Keep those details with you when you compare the figure with the offer you receive on the day.

How do you get pre-approved and compare lease and loan for a BMW i5?

We offer BMW leases, new BMW financing and pre-owned car loans, so you can compare a lease and a loan on the same BMW i5.

Compare the monthly payment, the term and the cash due at signing for each option. Put both on the same car at the same price, so the comparison is fair. Know the monthly payment you can carry before you visit.

How do you test drive a BMW i5 in Arlington?

Appointments can be booked online, in person or by phone at the Arlington store on East Lamar Boulevard. Ask for the model you want to drive when you book, so the car is ready when you arrive.

In a September 2026 5-star Google review, Mo F. wrote: “This is what a real BMW dealership experience should be. Having owned more than ten BMWs over the years, I went in to see the new iX3 WV and, to my surprise, they actually had one available for me to test drive. The salesman was amazing—truly knowledgeable, motivated, and willing to answer all of my questions to the best of his ability. Most importantly, there was absolutely zero pressure, which made the entire experience enjoyable. They completely blew away the local BMW dealer near my home, where I purchased a BMW just last fall. When I’m ready to purchase another BMW, I’ll definitely make sure this dealership gets the first opportunity to earn my business.”

Mo F. found a car ready to drive, which is worth confirming before you go.

What do you bring and pay when you sign for a BMW i5 in Texas?

Expect Texas sales tax of 6.25 percent on the price after your trade-in, plus title and registration fees. Electric vehicles also pay a yearly fee on top of standard registration.

Texas taxes the sales price less any trade-in, so a trade-in lowers the tax you pay (Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, 2026). Every figure in this example is hypothetical. On a $60,000 car with a $20,000 trade-in, the tax applies to $40,000, so the sales tax is $2,500.

The title application fee is $28 or $33, depending on the county, and you pay it when you apply (Texas Department of Motor Vehicles). The base annual registration fee for a passenger vehicle is $50.75, plus local county fees (Texas Department of Motor Vehicles, 2025). An electric car pays an annual $200 fee at renewal, and a new electric vehicle registered for two years pays a $400 fee (Texas Department of Motor Vehicles, 2026).

FAQ

How long does the new-vehicle warranty cover a new BMW i5?

The 2026 BMW i5 carries a 4 year/50,000-mile BMW New Vehicle/SAV Limited Warranty, according to BMW’s published 2026 specifications. The warranty applies to the model line, not to one trim.

What federal or Texas incentives apply to buying a BMW i5?

No federal credit applies to a new or used electric vehicle bought today. The IRS says the federal New Clean Vehicle Credit and Previously-Owned Clean Vehicle Credit are not available for vehicles acquired after Sept. 30, 2025 (Internal Revenue Service, 2026). The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality shows its light-duty vehicle incentive program as currently closed (TCEQ, 2026).

How do you book an appointment at BMW of Arlington?

Sales and service appointments can be booked online, in person or by phone. Pick the route that fits your schedule, then tell the team which model you want to drive.

How many people and how much cargo does the BMW i5 hold?

Every 2026 BMW i5 trim seats five people, according to BMW’s published 2026 specifications. The eDrive40, xDrive40 and M60 share that seating count, so the trim you choose does not change how many people ride.

What should you ask any BMW dealer before you sign for an i5?

Ask how long the trade-in value holds and whether the offer covers everything you plan to trade. At BMW of Arlington, a trade-in value is good for seven days or 250 miles, and trade-in customers can visit with or without an appointment. Our trade-in page calls the offer instant and the process fastest.
