How much is a pre-owned BMW 550e worth?

A used BMW 550e costs between £53,178 for the cheapest variant and £83,374 for the most expensive model.

The used car price of an BMW 550e is determined by a number of factors, the most important of which are the year, engine capacity and performance, fuel consumption of the car, mileage as well as the level of equipment in the car.

For example, a younger car with fewer miles on the odometer typically costs more. Likewise, models at the premium end with luxurious features or potent engines tend to come with a more substantial price tag than a used model with many kilometres on the odometer and in a simple equipment variant.

What are the available trim levels for the BMW 550e?

When reviewing the price points of used BMW 550e cars, it is essential that you only compare with the sale prices of cars with the same equipment variant and engine size. If not, you may end up reaching a wrong decision on which car to acquire.

The BMW 550e is solely available with a single fuel option, plug-in hybrid. At present, we have thirty cars at an average price of £67,193.

Factor in your driving habits when making a decision about fuel types. What is the usual distance you cover in a week with your car? Do you predominantly undertake short trips or longer hauls?

If your trips are mostly short, electric, plug-in hybrid or petrol may make the most sense. For daily long-distance driving, the electric car is often ideal - especially with a charger at home or at work. If you have a daily commute over longer distances, a modern electric car can be a great choice - especially if you have access to charging at home or at work. For those who drive long distances and don't have access to charging, diesel cars can still be an option. Remember that diesel engines with high emissions are prohibited from entering cities in various countries.

The trend of hybrid cars is on the rise

The high demand for hybrid cars in the UK is attributed to their efficient fuel consumption, lesser carbon footprint in comparison to traditional vehicles, and the growing availability of electric charging options, in line with national environmental objectives and fiscal benefits for eco-friendly transport. The utilisation of hybrid vehicles like the BMW 550e is essential in the progression towards more environmentally considerate and sustainable travel options.

Upsides to investing in a used hybrid car

A considerable number of rewards come from investing in a used hybrid vehicle. Benefits such as:

1. Cost savings on purchase: Used hybrid vehicles usually offer more attractive pricing compared to new vehicles. The initial lower cost can enhance the accessibility of hybrids to a more diverse group of buyers.

2. Environmental benefits: Hybrid vehicles emit less than standard gasoline or diesel automobiles. Choosing a used hybrid vehicle contributes to lower environmental harm than buying a new car, as the construction process, especially in the case of the battery, has a significant carbon impact.

3. Fuel efficiency: Hybrid cars are known for their fuel efficiency, combining a petrol engine with an electric motor. The efficiency can result in marked savings in terms of fuel expenses over a prolonged period.

4. Technological features: Even the older hybrid models are often equipped with modern features, presenting a sophisticated driving experience.

5. Government incentives: Hybrid vehicles, with their lower CO2 emissions, often benefit from reduced road tax in the UK. In certain zones, like central London, hybrid vehicles may be applicable for lesser or no congestion charges, depending on their emission levels.
