There are currently 6 BMW 5 Series models available on Motoring Today, with prices ranging from £7,490 to £25,495. For those considering finance, options are available from as little as £245 per month. While this page does not feature a single representative finance example, every individual BMW 5 Series listing on our marketplace clearly displays its own FCA-style finance quote from the selling dealer. Motoring Today makes it straightforward to compare finance options across different BMW 5 Series cars, with all quotes subject to status. Common finance products for used cars in the UK include Hire Purchase (HP), where you own the car after the final payment, and Personal Contract Purchase (PCP), which offers lower monthly payments by deferring a significant portion of the cost to an optional final payment. When browsing the BMW 5 Series models available, you will find detailed finance examples provided by each dealer. These will typically include the deposit, term in months, and the Annual Percentage Rate (APR), ensuring full transparency for your purchase. Remember, finance is always subject to your individual status and approval.

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 £303 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?
A used BMW 5 Series can be financed from £245 per month. This representative example assumes a 60-month HP agreement at 13% APR with no deposit. Finance is subject to status.
What deposit and APR do I need for a used BMW 5 Series?
The representative finance example for the BMW 5 Series shows a 13% APR with no deposit required. Your personal APR will depend on your credit history and affordability assessment.
What is the difference between HP and PCP for a BMW 5 Series?
With Hire Purchase (HP), you own the BMW 5 Series outright once all payments are made. Personal Contract Purchase (PCP) typically offers lower monthly payments but involves a balloon payment at the end if you wish to own the car, or you can return it or trade it in.
Can I get finance on a used BMW 5 Series with the price range shown?
Yes, finance is available for used BMW 5 Series models within the £7,490 to £25,495 price range. Monthly payments start from £245, as seen in our representative example.
