Buying Tips for 2022–2024 BMW 5 Series (G30)

  • Test the air conditioning to ensure it blows ice cold; failing condensers are a common issue and require significant dismantling to replace.
  • On the 520d, check the EGR cooler recall status, as leaking coolers can cause catastrophic engine fires.
  • Inspect the active grille shutters at the front; they can seize due to dirt, causing the engine to run too hot or throw check engine lights.
  • Verify the 8-speed ZF automatic gearbox shifts seamlessly; it should not hesitate or clunk when coming to a stop.
  • Check the massive digital instrument cluster for any dead pixels or software lag when switching driving modes.
  • Listen for any knocking from the rear suspension on Touring (estate) models, which could indicate failing air suspension airbags.
