The first shots of the 5-Series GT have leaked out ahead of the car’s planned unveiling at the Geneva Motor Show. A product of BMW’s expansion into the “lifestyle” segment, the GT looks like a lower, less muscular X6 and is also one of the last Bimmers that Chris Bangle has had significant influence on.

It carries the now typical love it or hate it design and final judgment is up to personal taste but this GT pictures here almost looks production ready with it’s over-sized front grille borrowed from the 2010 7-Series, headlamps from the Concept CS, and a rear end from the X6.

Expect the interior to be toned down a bit for production, and just maybe the wheels will get an inch smaller, but other than that, expect it to hit showroom floors real soon.

Well, its build based on the concept of practicality. The design language is from the new designer... whoever he is. Not as weirdly wonderful as Chris Bangle did. More boring lines than ever. I'd buy this car. Maybe not... Oh wait, is BMW saving cost by using other parts from other models? X6, new 7 series. Oh my...

Gen 2 butt. hahaha. So now BMW got rid of Bangle and they start to copy other manufacturers for designs? Anyway the car looks weird in a truncated way. X6 wannabe. Create new markets? Damn BMW seems to be going loopy these days.

netmatrix;
now that you mentioned it, yeah, it does follow some cues from the Gen2.
Now who say that only Proton copy?
Korean car also copy, now BMW also copy.

I must show my thanks to you for bailing me out of this dilemma. After surfing through the the web and meeting basics that were not productive, I believed my life was done. Existing minus the solutions to the issues you've fixed through your main article is a serious case, as well as ones which might have in a wrong way affected my entire career if I had not noticed your blog. That natural talent and kindness in taking care of every part was excellent. I am not sure what I would've done if I had not come across such a solution like this. I can also at this point relish my future. Thanks so much for the skilled and result oriented guide. I won't be reluctant to recommend your web sites to anyone who will need care on this subject.
