The 2017 BMW 5 Series range of configurations is currently priced from $19,999.
Our most recent review of the 2017 BMW 5 Series resulted in a score of 7.8 out of 10 for that particular example.
Carsguide Contributing Journalist Andrew Chesterton had this to say at the time: Not all superheroes wear capes, and we're proud to report the 530e does its bit for green motoring without feeling the need to shout about it. And with no price or specification penalty, it's easier being green than ever before, and the pricing of this BMW really puts the cat amongst the canaries.

The 2017 BMW 5 Series carries a braked towing capacity of up to 2000 Kg, but check to ensure this applies to the configuration you're considering.
The BMW 5 Series 2017 prices range from $12,540 for the basic trim level Wagon Luxury Line to $71,830 for the top of the range Sedan Luxury Line.
The 330e is a plug-in hybrid (PHEV), so it has a petrol engine and a smaller battery pack than a full EV (which runs exclusively on battery power). That means the BMW’s battery should be less expensive to replace if it ever needed to be.
At the moment, the world is waiting to find out how long EV batteries last, but it’s looking like between 10 and 20 years is going to be the magic number. A lithium-ion battery like this one will last longer if it’s never over-charged and is cycled regularly rather than left sitting for long periods.
