Comments on: New video: BMW 5 Series GT http://www.bmwblog.com/2009/02/13/new-video-bmw-5-series-gt/ News And Rumors Covering The Auto Industry Sun, 21 Mar 2010 04:53:44 +0200 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Nizer http://www.bmwblog.com/2009/02/13/new-video-bmw-5-series-gt/comment-page-1/#comment-101139 Nizer Fri, 27 Feb 2009 02:07:32 +0000 http://www.bmwblog.com/?p=9381#comment-101139 I'm not a fan of the PAS concept nor the hatch design but having watched all the videos I must say that it's got me excited about the potential of the upcoming 5-Series. Many of the design details on this car are just exceptional - headlights, front fender, mirror, interior - generating the urge to run ones hand over the surfaces, which to me is the highest compliment of good design. I also applaud the move to upgraded interior materials as the current 5-Series interiors leave much to be desired, with far too much cheap plastic visible, not to mention fairly low grade carpet. Let's hope they nail it with the upcoming 5-Series sedan.

Just like Lexus is super quiet and floaty. And Rolls-Royce comes with slabs of wood enough to make a canoe. And Mercedes comes with .... wait... what does M-B come with. :) Anyway.... my point is, it probably doesn't need to be mentioned specifically, but is nonetheless expected as the brand's design and feature set. Else I would be upset if a BMW is floaty, and Lexus rides like an X3 with Sports Package (which, in a city full of potholes, is soooo totally unforgiving).

I am highly dissapointed with the rear! The front looks too similar to the new 7 Series and the nostrils make tha car look ugly!!! The interior is amazing though. I like the fact that BMW has decided to do away with cheap looking black plastics in the cabin. It is a good thing that it can be a 5 seater a well, immediately makes the car more flexible , much better than the restricted X6. I als love the rear seat and environment design. Very stylish and modern. This is another nail in Audi's coffin! I cannot believe how ugly this car looks, especially the front and rear!!! I am highly dissapointed with the rear!

Sporty driving is what BMW does best and if that is missing then it isn't a true BMW You know what I find disappointing in this video, there is mention of Luxury , Space and Comfort but nothing about Sporty.
