3. BMW 5-Series
Model Years: 1972–Present
Average Repair Costs: $825/Year*
Now in its seventh generation, the BMW 5 Series is a midsize premium automobile that has been in production since 1972. Over the decades, the 5 Series has evolved significantly, moving away from its original four-cylinder petrol engines to more powerful options, including V8 and V10 engines in later models.
Among the standout variants is the F90 M5, which features the impressive S63 twin-turbo V8 engine, delivering exceptional performance and driving dynamics. This evolution reflects BMW's commitment to innovation and luxury in the competitive midsize segment.
The BMW 5 Series
According to RepairPal, the average annual maintenance cost for a BMW 5 Series is $825. However, potential owners should be aware that there is a 40% chance their "Beamer" will require costly repairs within the first ten years of ownership. This risk can lead to significant expenses, especially when considering the high cost of BMW parts.
