BMW added a hatchback version of its 5 Series, dubbed the 5 Series Gran Turismo, for 2010. The first "GT" model was the 550i, powered by the same 400-hp, twin-turbo V-8 as the 550i sedan. It was followed by a 535i GT that employs the 535i sedan's 300-hp, turbocharged six-cylinder. Both have an eight-speed automatic transmission and are available with rear- or all-wheel drive.
For 2012, BMW has added an M Sport Package that includes aero body trim, larger wheels and tires, and other performance enhancements. BMW Apps, an application that allows a variety of iPhone applications to run through the iDrive system, is a $250 option. With the addition of the Gran Turismo, BMW no longer imports the 5 Series wagon.
The Gran Turismo's interior and exterior borrow cues from BMW's 7 Series flagship sedan. With its steeply raked hatch ending in a short, sedanlike trunk, the Gran Turismo measures about 6 inches longer than the 5 Series sedan. The hatch opens in two sections: The entire hatch can be raised, or a section below the rear window opens separately to reveal a trunk behind the rear seats and below a cargo cover. The area offers 15.5 cubic feet of cargo volume, less than the 2010 5 Series wagon's 17.7 cubic feet. For additional storage capacity, the seats fold in a 40/20/40 split for a total of 60 cubic feet, beating the wagon's maximum volume of 58.3 cubic feet.
The Gran Turismo can accommodate four or five, depending on the backseat configuration. Though it carries the 5 Series name, this model shares as much with the larger 7 Series, and many of its measurements — including all seating dimensions — differ from those of the 5 Series sedan.
The Gran Turismo's interior includes Black Panel gauge and climate displays, which incorporate BMW's traditional gauge themes into an electroluminescent display. An updated iDrive system, also used in other BMWs, offers better screen resolution and more shortcut keys than its predecessor.

"...This was my first time buying a new car, and I really didn't know where to start. I used your site to get quotes from dealers near me and compared them to the Market Price. Then, I used the knowledge I got from reading your Secrets book to make sure I didn't pay more than I should. It was so easy! I love my new car!" -Sonya S. |
