The BMW 5 Series Granturismo

[Christofuh]

I just got back from BMW store which I visited on unrelated business.
Unlike in the promo photos, up close the GT looks somewhat plainer on the outside; more so on the inside.
While the seats are perforated, the leather isn't half as supple as in a Lexus model that costs 50% less.
The 2 stage trunk is set up in a funky way where you have to almost bend down to slip stuff in.
Of course if you were to pop the trunk fully then your rear passengers would get a hit of arctic air

BTW, once again owners report having issues with the fuel pump. ALREADY

This is the most glorious thing Ive seen all day.

Im a BMW fanboy, but the 5 series GT is superfluous and ugly in person.

^^^This, I like. Too bad they're not shipped to the states.

The Panamera and now this, the Germans are losing it.

It kinda ruins the GT acronym used in other car names...... Maserati GranTurismo, Nissan GT-R, etc.

It's not going to create any new BMW sales, it'll just eat into 7-series sales.

This. The 5 GT is insanely expensive.

I was shocked when I saw the sticker on the activehybrid 5 GT... over $90,000!

I like the look. No idea it was so expensive, though.

they should just make a liftback sedan as standard. liftback (or 5-door as it is called in UK) is so much more useful, and looks exactly the same as the sedan.
