"There is nothing better than the BMW 5 Series Gran Turismo, with its huge cabin, luxurious amenities and hatchback versatility."

The BMW 5 Series Gran Turismo (often shortened BMW 5 Series GT) is a large five-door version the popular BMW 5 Series executive saloon. It rides a little higher than its four-door counterpart and a softer ride, offers more interior space and a more practical boot.

BMW presented as a well-equipped luxury flagship model and an alternative to high-end SUVs =. Initially, the most fuel-efficient entry-level 5 Series engines were not available in the GT - you could choose gasolines and diesel powerful 3.0-liter, or even a very thirsty 4.4-liter twin-turbo petrol V8

But to lure in a bid fleet buyers, BMW presented the BMW 520d GT, the same very efficient yet expressive engine that uses the most popular 5 Series sedan. This is by far the best buy in the area, as do the other little sense financially, both cost perspective runs from day to day and in terms of long-term impairment.

, the 5 Series GT great selling point has always been that the interior, the larger BMW 7 Series combined with the renowned sporty handling of the 5 Series. The reality falls somewhat short of this goal, however, as there is no is the GT to conceal extra weight

Another problem with the 5 GT is the way it looks -. You would call it pretty fight, even in athletic sports figure M with smart alloys and a bodykit.

and while the hatch book boot GT is certainly more versatile than the sedan, four-door and the 5 Series Touring hapert it both in terms of the sheer capacity Good. It has a little trick his sleeve, though -. A "Dual-Hinge" mechanism which allows without exposing the cabin to the elements for loading small items of luggage to open it partially

, passengers should be very happy in the back, how much legroom there and a great view through the large windows. A four-seater Executive Package 'layout replaces the rear bench with two comfortable recliners

BMW 5 Series offers three specificaitons. SE, Luxury and M Sport. Whichever you choose, you will get leather seats, alloy wheels, navigation system and air conditining as standard. The luxury is chrome finishings and a beefed-up infotainment system, while the M Sport aggressive character contrary to the relaxed nature of the GT appears compared to the 5 Series Sedan.

We think the 520d luxury is you can get the best engine and trim level combination, reasonable running costs combined with an appropriate level of luxury and amenities. It is worth the extra £ 3,000 or so on the SE.

with its split tailgate, roofline arcs and impressive dimensions, it is certainly as something decidedly new - even if it's fair to say the styling, not all will like.

What Car?

3 / 5

an interesting alternative to the usual luxury SUVs, but we can not think of a single thing that GT does better as the best of them. The driving experience is particularly disappointing.

The Sun

Although this may GT as a case of function over fashion seem, there is no doubt that this patchwork BMW works. The Beemer with the big butt might just be ready to kick ass.

Parker

4.5 / 5

In moving the GT much feeling as BMW describes it - as a cross between a normal sedan and a 4x4. His real strength is effortless motorway cruising, it does extremely well, feeling incredibly stable and calm at high speeds.
