just spotted the new 5 series gran turismo...

[tjts1]

They are bigger because they are built on the 7-Series platform. Kinda a tease if you ask me...

Thats like saying you're fat because you're parents were fat.

looks like what I dropped off in the toilet 5 minutes ago ;)

we have a 550i GT at my school, its an amazing car, the sticker price is around 70K, twin turbo v8 and enough room for a family, its amazingly quick for its size as someone mentioned

i saw one. so ugly and HUGE!!!

[CleanAzzE30z]

I think its one of the ugliest and pointlessly concieved cars ever built. And that includes the Pontiac Aztec. It further erodes my faith in modern BMWs. Yet another "answer to a question no one asked" moved by BMW, IMO.

I think it's not that bad looking, however it is pretty pointless.
But I love the X6 so I have a different taste I guess.
What they did to the 6 series is unforgivable though:


But the new 5 series Touring! OMG! Best looking new car IMO.

[SA E30]

I can't stand the new kidney design, the new BMW's all look like they have flared nostrils, like a freaking hippo!

I always knew Bono and the 5GT had something in common.

The standard sedan and the touring are beautiful, in my opinion. They grew on me though, didn't like them at first.

The GT wagon/hatchback/fastback/whateverthefuck is godawful. Looks like someone took a standard sedan and backed it into a wall.

Don't give up on BMW, though. They make mistakes (e36 318iT). But at least they are trying to clean up after the last generation of 5's, 6's & 7's.

I'm looking forward to the next 6

So ugly.

Fuck the GT. Wish we got this.

[mikeedler]

the GT is a nice very roomy car. I don't understand the comments about it being "pointless". the trunk room area is alot larger than it looks.

ohh, BTW- they have been around long enough for me to replace atleast 10 waterpumps, atleast 5 cars B pillars (that are glued on with 2 sided tape WTF) replaced atleast 15 cars door pull cables, as well as a few cars that all of the windows decided they wanted to scratch themselves. there is alot of problems with interior parts not matching very well either.

Its pointless because I cant fathom why they developed it when they had a perfectly fine, comparably spacious, MUCH more aesthetically pleasing touring model. It may have room, but I find it unnecessary and absolutely horrendous to the eye.

to compete with the porsche thing. it is nothing like the 5 series or the wagon for that matter.
I think it looks better than the 5er with the correct wheels on it. Guess everyone has their own feeling on things, I used to hate the X6, but after seeing them for a while now i think they look way nicer than the X5.

If you drive a 5 er GT, you will be sold on it, it isnt sporty but you feel like a king in it with its seating position!
