The fuel economy is the standout. My only gripe is road noise on the highway, which I knew going in.

2026 BMW 5 Series review
BMW 5 Series: a class leader on the details. Illustrative review
9.0/10 OffLot expert score
The 2026 BMW 5 Series sits near the top of its class. Good trunk for the footprint; standard driver-assist suite. Road noise on coarse pavement and some features locked to upper trims, so test the trim you'd actually buy. Starting around $60,000, it lines up with most direct rivals.

Replaced an older BMW with this one. Big step up in fuel economy; I'd like a little more rear headroom.
Bought it for the a long commute and it has handled everything so far. Fuel economy has been close to the sticker in mixed driving.
