BMW 5 Series Gran Turismo : Car Review

newcarnet.tv The GT stands for Gran Turismo but this is no Maserati. BMW says it's been designed for customers who don't feel their needs are being met by other Beemers like the 5 Series Touring or the X5. But what exactly is it? Massimo Pini gets behind the wheel to find out.

Very objective review! Don't get a lot of these - especially concerning the 5 GT. As a huge fan of the 5 GT, I enjoyed this review.

The GT or Gran Turismo is an awesome concept and is very underrated. Lots of room for the golf clubs or kids in the rear. Very functional.

I own the 550ix Gran Turismo with the Sports Package. My all time favorite car.

[@Alitricia1]

the BEST car BMW ever made to satisfy people with two carseats for kids and need lots of rear room for them, Easy to put them in and out also for the parents. plus if you buy the GT 550i YOU OWN THE ROAD too. So you don't like IT don't buy it! Its not for YOU.

[@NEWCARNET]

Very astute observation. It's only when you actually have to manage multiple childseats that you realise just how few cars actually offer sufficient space to accommodate two children AND an adult comfortably. The 5 GT does indeed fit the bill.

Good job!! Definitely my best BMW after driving/owning the 520, 525, 730. Z4

@TopTenSam You've pretty much hit the nail on the head. BMW is building cars that fill niches that are so small that nobody even knew they existed. It's still a fine car though - as you would expect from the Bavarian Motor Works.

Why didn't they bring the deisel option to the U.S.?

Beautiful review for a beautiful car.

[@VR6Boki]

I like looks of this car :)

[@KP56SS]

Beauty of a car imo

[@dennis8660]

Its a 7series compact

[@FelipeKai]

very true..i wanted a car with lots of luggage space to fit my kids stuffs and got the 5 touring,i didn't see any motive at all to buy the 5 gt instead,plus the gt has an really ugly ass compare to the touring

[@chitpaul]

Different.

[@TopTenSam]

If you want a bmw then buy one.....If you want it to be luxurious then buy a 5 Series.......If you want some extra lugage space then buy a 5 series touring.....If you want alot of legroom in the back and have a bit extra cash to spend then buy a 7 Series......If your doing the school run then buy an X5/6. I cant see what the 5 series GT comes under.

@ruairi50 A beauty, it is NOT. But it does have some great qualities!

Sad face ;-(
