What should you know about the BMW M5 before you start shopping?

The BMW M5 is the high-performance version of the 5 Series from BMW M. The 2026 M5 Sedan starts at $123,300 and the M5 Touring starts at $125,300. Both trims make 717 horsepower and 738 lb-ft of torque, and both seat five. The basic warranty is a 4-year/50,000-mile BMW New Vehicle/SAV Limited Warranty. Both trims are plug-in hybrids. EPA-certified combined fuel economy is 14 mpg for the Sedan and 13 mpg for the Touring, with 29 and 25 miles of electric range.

Should you shop a new, certified pre-owned or used M5 in Arlington?

Buy new when you want to reserve an incoming car or order your own build. A certified pre-owned BMW must be from a recent model year, have under 60,000 miles, and pass an inspection against a Certified checklist by a BMW-certified technician. BMW of Arlington also sells pre-owned cars from a range of makes. A used search can therefore look beyond the BMW lineup. BMW of Arlington is an authorized BMW M Certified Dealer, and its staff take part in annual M training.

How do you reserve an incoming BMW M5 or order one at BMW of Arlington?

Reserve an incoming M5 from its inventory listing at BMW of Arlington, or place a custom factory order to choose your own build. A reservation secures a car that is already on its way. A factory order builds the car to the specification you pick. The 2026 M5 comes as a Sedan with a $123,300 starting MSRP or a Touring with a $125,300 starting MSRP, and both are plug-in hybrids. Shoppers browse, value a trade and get pre-approved online, then finish in store.

How do you find your trade-in’s value before visiting BMW of Arlington?

Start with the online trade-in tool at BMW of Arlington. Enter a license plate with its state or a VIN, select Get My Price, and the tool returns an instant offer. That offer is valid for seven days or up to 250 miles. If you do not have the plate or VIN, the tool also takes a year, make, model and trim with condition details. A make-and-model estimate is calculated from historical data and trends. Trade-in customers can visit with or without an appointment. A trade also lowers your tax bill, because Texas charges 6.25% sales tax on the price minus any trade-in allowance (Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, 2026).

In an August 2026 Google review, Alicia R. wrote: “Had a great experience with BMW of Arlington. I was able to complete most paperwork remotely and what was left was done in a seemingly timely manner. Got a fair offer on trade in as well. It was definitely worth the 8 hour round trip drive to get my new 26’ M4 competition from them.”

Should you lease or finance a BMW M5 in Arlington, TX?

At BMW of Arlington, you can compare BMW leases, new BMW financing and pre-owned car loans. Compare a lease and a loan on the same M5 before you sign anything. Texas taxes a lease up front. The lessor owes sales or use tax on its purchase price of the vehicle when it buys it, and later lease payments are not taxed (34 Tex. Admin. Code § 3.70). Registration adds the state fee, and Tarrant County, where Arlington sits, adds a $10 county fee on top of it (Texas Department of Motor Vehicles, 2026).

What should you check when you test drive a BMW M5 in Arlington?

Test drive the trim you plan to buy at BMW of Arlington, 1105 E Lamar Blvd, Arlington, TX 76011. Both the M5 Sedan and the M5 Touring seat five, so sit in the back with the people who will ride there most. If you are weighing the two trims, drive both. The Touring starts $2,000 above the Sedan.

Frequently asked questions

What should an itemized BMW M5 quote show before you sign?

Ask for every fee on one written quote before you sign. Texas presumes a documentary fee of $225 or less reasonable, and a seller must file a written notice and cost analysis with the state before charging more (7 Tex. Admin. Code § 84.205). A featured price must include destination and dealer preparation charges, so ask whether they are in the number (43 Tex. Admin. Code § 215.250).

Should you get an independent inspection before buying a used BMW M5?

For a used M5 older than the certified program allows, yes. A 2013 Car and Driver buyer’s guide to the 2000 to 2003 E39 M5 lists VANOS seal failures, carbon buildup, clutch wear and oil use of about a quart every 600 to 700 miles (Car and Driver, 2013).

What does the BMW M5 warranty and maintenance coverage include?

The 2026 M5 carries a 4-year/50,000-mile basic warranty. BMW’s rust perforation warranty runs 144 months with unlimited miles (BMW of North America, 2025). On a 2026 vehicle bought from an authorized US BMW center, BMW Ultimate Care covers factory-recommended scheduled maintenance for 36 months or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first. It does not cover brake pads and discs, wiper blades, the engine drive belt or parking brake shoes (BMW USA, 2025).
