| What's your opinion of the BMW 5 Series Gran Turismo? They've launched a hatchback with a special bootlid and reclining rear seats... what do you think of it?   I think that is hideous.... really really hideous    Agent = Hardware Homosapien | Zak33 = Hardware Homonid - just call me "Lucy" |

| Re: What's your opinion of the BMW 5 Series Gran Turismo? Your right. They've destroyed the "I'm bigger, better and more bad-ass in my M5" look - sad face.  Originally Posted by kalniel

| Re: What's your opinion of the BMW 5 Series Gran Turismo? Look on the bright side - it looks better than the horrific X6 'thing'.... can't even bring myself to call it a car  |

| Re: What's your opinion of the BMW 5 Series Gran Turismo? I can't afford one so it is crap!!  The card does look small for a 5 series BMW though!! The rear section of the car reminds of both the Honda Insight and Toyota Prius for some reason!!    Baltar's quote of the day:"All we need is strength! Strength that comes from within! .....and guns! More guns! Bigger guns! Better guns! And when we have those, we will win!" Moose counter-quote of the day:"[Moose] can fly and [moose] can land,Just not very well." |

| Re: What's your opinion of the BMW 5 Series Gran Turismo? Saw one today on the road and it looks even worse in real life than it does in photos. I want to know how a designer can look back at his work and go 'Looks good' when there must have been people around him saying it looks rubbish. There's Forums. And then there's Hexus forums  Last edited by handscombmp; 05-11-2009 at 06:54 AM.. |

| Re: What's your opinion of the BMW 5 Series Gran Turismo? Similar driving position to that in an X model, Load capacity of a 5 series touring, build quality of a 7 series. But in a 'socially accaptable' package. It is a big car, bigger than it looks in the pictures, and more handsome in the flesh. But I do agree that the design is a little different to the current 5 series, and will be a grower.  My very first watercooled PC project log |

| Re: What's your opinion of the BMW 5 Series Gran Turismo? It's based on a 7-series chassis, it apparently has as much interior space as a 7 series and the boot's as big. It comes with air suspension as standard- optional on the 7- and it's about 15 grand cheaper. True, it's not a handsome car, but I'll be looking in Autotrader in a few years time I think  . www.no2id.net www.saynoto0870.com www.housepricecrash.co.uk Now these points of data make a beautiful line, and we're out of beta we're releasing on time.... |

| Re: What's your opinion of the BMW 5 Series Gran Turismo? I also actually prefer the Mondeo to the 5 series. Iv not been overly impressed with BMWs design for a while now if im quite honest. Much prefer Audi, VW and Honda. Subaru is another one wo have messed up a good design  I mean wtf?
