2011 BMW 535i Gran Turismo HD Video Review

drivencarreviews.com/ The BMW 5 Series has been around since 1972 but there has never been one like the Gran Truismo. At four inches higher than the sedan, it the for people who need a wagon but just don't like the fashion statement. Tom Voelk take an extended look at a well-equipped xDrive model and the trick dual articulated hatch.

I bought mine new back in 2013. I still have it and has been the best most reliable car I've owned to date. I love how it looks too. You dont see many on the road so the design looks fresh still.

[@MegaEriable]

I'm looking at a 2011 535xi GT with only 37K miles. $19K is what's being asked. Should I go for it? Want to be assured that I can hit 60K miles without massive bills.

[@far574]

@@MegaEriable I have 92k on mine and not one issue yet. I had my AC worked on last year. Other than that these are great cars.

[@MegaEriable]

@@far574 Thank you for your reply. What is your car's build date? Is it manufactured in 2010? Or actually built in 2011? The one I am looking at is made in June of 2011. Should I consider paying for an extended warranty ($4K)?

[@far574]

@@MegaEriable my car build date is May 2013.

[@far574]

@@MegaEriable you might to get a warranty, but see what it covers and if its worth it.

I own a BMW 5series GT and I can say it's a perfect machine

[@RSHerewego]

These reviews are terrific - some of the best on youtube!

[@PaulHo]

10 years later, this is still better than their "coupes". That tailgate would do them a lot of favors still.

I love it. There's so much space inside!

[@thabaneramaube5781]

You cannot do better than BMW, the 5 Series GT is awesome.

[@Be.fair.to.all.people_]

Super agree

[@jvrdlc]

U give great reviews man, congrats

[@izuaff04]

this car grows on me now the more i look at it

[@castrokingkiller]

These have aged well. It’s basically a SUV / hatchback hybrid.

[@connerflick3127]

The spot will also air on national cable networks including VH1 and Comedy Central.

[@iceagescrat1]

@BedsideGnome In real life, it really grew on me, and I think it's a beautiful car. The pictures don't do it justice. :)

[@mustangcbr1]

thanks for the review! love it!

[@devalbhavsar2867]

best review on u-tube ever ...!!!

[@minityper]

Slowly but surely people are seeing the point of this car, its awesome but not at first sight. Driving it is such a treat, you just have to experience it.

[@alekschify]

@MrStarman1978 how is the a7 a wagon?

[@tculig]

Very nice review and very nice channel. I will subscribe.

[@samc12345]

why doesn't the USA get the wagon 5series aswell? here in england we can get the wagon (we call it estate, bmw calls it touring) AND the gt?

[@goyolake]

It really looks great in person, it is very distinguished. Someone I know owns one and I've been into it a couple of times, boy it's dead elegant and comfortable, much more than Mercedes GLK or ML series

[@ThePswm]

Super Review!

[@konzuldt6293]

Great car with ample equipment, a joy for driver and the pasengers as well. Once you get used to this vehicle you are adicted to bmw brand beyond recovery and you will enjoy it all your life.

[@nenotech2010]

@PlanoGirlinTexas i hear the 2012s will be almost the same, significant changes wont be until like 2014-2016

[@hithere4431]

I can say it was a great first car I loved that car and I want a new one

[@tovarisch3039]

they could have made the wheel arcs bigger, it looks like a prius. But any way the 6 series gt replacement looks better

[@terrypreston197]

Our next car 👍

[@kr0pp]

wow this guy is awesome! Definetly an honest review.

[@cbestkbkr1982]

love this car...

[@MrStarman1978]

Great review! Not sure about the car though. If you want a sport laxury wagon, go with the Audi 7 series!

[@hutryhurry1932]

Just got one excellent love it

[@MrEurophenom]

Love to hear your perspective on how reliable it's been. :)

[@Robbieifyoucan]

Good review, but I highly prefer the A7

[@jiaweizheng1990]

NOW THATS A REAL BMW

[@zulaiman8054]

nice car

[@Rome1017Lights]

They should add that tailgate to the X6

[@76carmel]

I think Mercedes has something similar with a version of the 4 door coupe, the CLS class. However, it doesn't compete with the 5 Series GT. Only competitor? Audi A7 --and I'd take that over the Beamer.

[@sapphirebluegabe]

i wish to buy this car

[@techdude6693]

I wish we did.. Wagons aren't as popular here and it sucks.. Wagons are much better than SUVs in my opinion.. We used to have it, but they're slowly dropping them :(

[@TheStevenbald]

No problem for the like

[@Robbieifyoucan]

The CLS, GT, A7 are all direct competitors.

[@davideselvi3906]

Actually the GT stands in its own way

[@monster2783]

[@korrigansellom7221]

it's not a twin turbo omfg

[@faznout]

I'm sorry but I couldn't get my eyes off the toupee on this guy.

[@Dialysisforever]

Is this really a twin turbo. I thought TwinPower turbo is what BMW calls their variable scroll turbo or something like that.

[@DrivenCarReviews]

Without going back and checking the press releases, I believe it's a twin scroll turbo, not a true twin turbo. I've become more accurate over the years. Really.

[@Dialysisforever]

Wow, thanks for the reply. I was looking into a used GT and am trying to gather info.

[@bigphat200]

Nice car but i don't think i can get past how it looks.

[@yahawahs1295]

[@cancercell1]

i solute MB for sticking with the sales of the E-class wagon, this thing is just disproportionate looking, and ridiculously expensive.

[@chrisfrost7337]

[@giseliateh8067]

OMG

[@TheOneFromMW2]

COSTCO

[@alfredwilsbury8397]

There is a hunch on a 5 series, wait, its the new gran turismo....it looks very distinguished on the road I will agree, but, ugly as f**k

[@katieadams5860]

It looks so ugly, like what is it supposed to be? A crossover?

[@the1loveinlife]

great review, waste of time for shit car. Big Money Waste (BMW)

[@miamimagicians]

This is a nice. What don't you like about it? Do you prefer the Lexus RX H?

[@turpioSE]

he's an ex porn actor

[@WOW4EVERBEST]

Best car ever but ugly back :(

[@lewis72]

Great review. Shit car.

[@toh3211]

Can't wait for BMW to get rid of these cars and mark my words they will - if you're gonna spend that much money on a car it sure better be good looking as well as perform - every time i see someone driving this car I almost think that they forgot to wear their contacts or glasses that day...

[@gtplumbing2004]

This car is a piece of shit

[@lewis72]

My god it's ugly. Rover did this idea in 1976 with their SD1. There was a Citroen thing about that time too.

[@columbuscrewfan20]

What happen BMW that is a ugly ass car. For 73k I gather have the 3series much cheaper looks ten time better.

[@malandri100]

Great review,thank you!
