2011 BMW 5 Series Gran Turismo
In 2011, the BMW 5 Series Gran Turismo earns all-wheel-drive version ("xDrive") and 535i trim level.
In the animal kingdom, some animals can see to ask how the animal was born in the first place. Consider the platypus, for example, or double-hump camel. Looking to 2011 BMW 5 Series Gran Turismo, it is possible that the same questions: What is it? Who is it?
Its sloping fastback roofline, the 5 Series Gran Turismo is not really a car (no load-friendly, the square-off cap) or SUV (missing a lot of passenger and load capacity). One could say that is a hybrid of the two. Maybe it's just a large luxury sedan. We imagine the BMW hopes to attract a sports luxury car owners looking for something sporty but with a load capacity.

Scanning the table of specifications will not tell you much about the GT 5 lines. The Gran Turismo is about 2 inches taller than the 5 Series sedan, but 4 inches lower than an X5 SUV. Even the name Bimmer is a problem. This is known as the "Series 5" GT, but actually consume more of the seven components of the series of chassis and offers a spacious cabin that's flagship sedan. Unfortunately, the GT offers the path of the 7 Series luxury sedan precision handling or 5 Series.
5 Series Gran Turismo for the dual-mode sedan - its character - it's pretty cool, though. You can open only the bottom (similar to the tailgate of the hatchback), or you can lift the whole tailgate up. Fold the split rear seats, and there is 60 cubic feet of cargo space than, less than most compact crossover, but four times the trunk space 5 Series Sedan. Choose a twin-turbo inline-6 turbo V8 and provide plenty of performance, while the option of four-wheel drive (xDrive) provides a constant position of inclement weather.
For 2011 BMW 5 Series Gran Turismo is a niche for themselves, at least until the beginning like Audi A7 coming year. If that niche shows popular Gran Turismo will certainly work well. But for most people, you're better off with conventional vehicles such as the Audi A6 Avant Wagon and Cadillac CTS Sport or crossover SUV with the Acura MDX or BMW X5 own.

Interior Design and Special Features
Cabin 5-Series GT is up to the 7-series of standards with almost all surfaces adorn soft leather, wood trim and a rich texture of plastic. Last generation of the BMW (and improved) iDrive interface is a standard feature, simplifying the monitoring of navigation and entertainment.
The front seats adjust easily to more people and offer endless seat adjustments, while the rear are just as comfortable and can be an option with most of the same amenities as the facades.
GT hatchback offers distinctive features beyond simple style flourish. The access door double consists of two sections which allows traditional opening trunklike or full bloom. The small section of the rod can hold up to 15 cubic feet and allows for faster reading. A removable rear parcel shelf creates a significant partition between the trunk and the cab and fits under the trunk floor when not in use. With the rear seats folded and stowed the tablet, GT can handle much heavier loads of up to 60 cubic feet.
Driving Impressions
Road 2011 BMW 5 Series Gran Turismo Series narrower than the around-7, which is based on. Ruts and holes in the cab forward more freely, but also adds a strong emotional connection with the road. Turbo V8 pushes hard, and eight-speed automatic seems well matched to the engine, which offers a fast, moves almost seamlessly while driving conservatively. The control is well weighted, and illumines a speed considerably slower. When combined with the optional four-wheel active steering, the GT feels much more maneuverable, thanks to a car turning radius smaller.
Around the city, the 5 Series GT remains calm and serene, isolating passengers from the harshness of the world, all 5 series. Wind noise and road go unnoticed. Is inserted into the winding mountain passes, the GT feels secure and agile. It takes close to their limits, however, the height and weight more additional way to contribute to a more pronounced roll a 5 Series sedan or 7 years, although the advanced suspension components and electronic aids to compensate sufficiently to please all but the most demanding of drivers.
