Is this BMW offered in States?

[bimmer_E30]

[kishg]

more piggish cars from bmw to satisfy badge whores..

The 5er sedan is hot at fuck.

The GT looks like Rosie O'donnell became the newest Transformer.

i laughed so hard when clarkson ripped on the x6. i can't wait to hear his review of that ug-bucket.

[txtorquemade]

POS....fugly

[Chabs]

it doesn't look as bad in person, i've seen a couple of them. still not a huge fan though.

[SUICIDE109]

5 series GT - WTF is this?? Has someone bet BMW to create something worse than X6??

Looks like my morning shit!

[Cyrano]

its a pointless car. It does not have the full capabilities of an SUV and is not a Sedan. It's for those numnutts that cannot make up their mind between the two and so they get this crap.

[BlackSpeed66]

ew. :down:

It was Chris Bangle's final bungle before he got fired.


Good riddance. Unfortunately BMW is selling this shitbox instead of the 5 series wagon in the US.

[Charlie]

its available here. it is probably because of the US that that exists. ugly as sin.

the new 5ers, though, look pretty sexy.

BMW has actually come out and said that it was intended more for the European market, filling more of the X5's niche over there.

I don't like it.. I think it's lame mommy car!
It look like the honda crosstour that came out months before it...ugh
And the "GT" is a shameless sales ploy to sell to n00bs...
sorry....

It's been out since last year, predates the crosstour by a bit.

It's a crossover, those sell well. It's easier to sell a 70-80k "SUV" like car than a station wagon to Americans.

Bangle actually had nothing to do with the car, he hasn't been the primary designer for nearly 5 years. He was in more of a mangerial role. These cars all fall on Hooeydonk. As for sales? There's apparently about an 8 month waiting list on these cars now. The 5er wagons never moved.

This car is def the worst BMW I have ever seen. Anyhow I see many people driving it here in germany. Maybe because the interior isn't that bad.

So what you're saying is he didn't draw it but he approved it. Good to know. He is even more responsible than I thought. Thank god he got fired.

What's wrong with it? I like the current GT & X6 body lines. Much nicer than the X5.

Take a 3 box SUV shape, make it aerodynamic, oh, by the way, you gotta meet new much more stringent Euro rear end crash requirements. Oh yea, BTW, you know those Pedestrian crash requirements we just came up with 2 years ago? Put those on there too. Make it look like a 5 series.

Oh, here's your competition.

BMW is just getting uglier and uglier. If it wasn't for the roundel I'd think it was a Lexus.
