I suppose it depends on what 5-series model you want. I got my F11 5-series 535i M-sport touring at a huge discount. Top specification Ex BMW HQ car for over 40% off new list, at just over a year old and less than 6k miles. It is just like new and specced up today is over £59k.

For me it was a no brainer to go nearly new, as I don't drive high mileage. Running costs are comparable to a much lower specified F31 328i M-sport touring, which was going to be my new car. No contest in my position.
