How BMW 5 Series finance works

PCP (Personal Contract Purchase)

Lower monthly payments because a large "optional final payment" is deferred to the end. At the end you choose to pay it and keep the 5 Series, hand it back, or part-exchange. Mileage limits apply.

How PCP works →

HP (Hire Purchase)

The whole price (minus deposit) is spread over the term. Payments are usually higher than PCP, but you own the 5 Series outright at the end and there are no mileage limits.

Frequently asked questions

How much is a BMW 5 Series on finance per month?
Finance on a used BMW 5 Series starts from around £249 a month, depending on the price, your deposit and the term. See the representative example on this page for a worked BMW 5 Series deal with the full APR and totals.
Can I get a BMW 5 Series on PCP?
Yes. Personal Contract Purchase (PCP) is available on most used BMW 5 Series listings through our approved dealers. PCP keeps monthly payments lower by deferring a large "optional final payment" to the end; you then choose to pay it and keep the car, hand the car back, or part-exchange. Finance is subject to status and approval.
PCP or HP on a BMW 5 Series — which is better?
Hire Purchase (HP) spreads the whole price (minus deposit) over the term, so you own the 5 Series outright at the end and monthly payments are usually higher. PCP defers part of the value to a final balloon payment, so monthlies are lower but you don't automatically own the car. HP suits high-mileage drivers who want to keep the car; PCP suits lower monthly budgets and shorter ownership. Our PCP-vs-HP guide explains the trade-offs.
Can I get BMW 5 Series finance with bad credit?
Possibly. Some of our approved dealers work with lenders that consider applicants with a poor or limited credit history, though the APR is typically higher and approval is never guaranteed. Finance is always subject to status, income and creditworthiness. See our bad-credit car finance guide before applying.
How much deposit do I need for a BMW 5 Series?
There's no fixed minimum — many BMW 5 Series agreements are available with a small or even zero deposit, subject to status. A larger deposit lowers the amount you borrow and your monthly payments. The representative example on this page shows the deposit used for that specific quote.
How much is a used BMW 5 Series per month on finance?
