BMW Freakish or Fabulous? BMW 550i Gran Turismo Road Test Video

[JonathanRPham]

LOL "nitch"...I think you mean "Niche".

[totnick]

i love this car :)

[DaEdster123]

whats a nitch



[PoorIllyrian]

this is why we call it media brainwash, if the video was like wow the car is so awesome bmw brough new class family cruiser bla bla only pozitiv things i m sure the comment will be just the same :D like i love bla bla since the video is negativ for the car the comment are just same brain washed :d WASH AND GO

[EvoPower2010]

Of Course, Freakish.

[buttnut1080]

What a useless car. It seems like as time goes on, BMW makes themselves a little less attractive than before while Audi and Mercedes are getting higher and higher on my list.

[adytzaRSX]

1:08 ...Once, I crushed my fingers trying to close the door like that LOL

[Betaops252]

OMG WHAT THE HELL IS THAT!?!?! its so hidious

[odmcarp]

Fabulous !!!

[BMWDRE10]

If he says "nitch" one more time......LOL

[lbryan250]

Freakish or Fabulous? Freakish. Period.

[juxonix8]

Just call it UGLY...

[rwhglassman]

This thing looks like a 5 series that went into a garage and ate everything came out a year later overweight. Is this what happens to a 5 series when it gets middle aged, fat and doesn't work out?

[Mommani1]

You could all talk talk talk about this car, I have owned 8 bmw's and now I own this same exact car 550i GT, and I have to say it's the best one I have ever owned, the power, the handling, the versatility of it. I have to say much better than driving around a station wagon. I feel like I'm driving a 7 series and who ever comes inside the car say how much leg space they have. Now I know the car is a little bit more expensive than the sedan, but it's so worth it.

[doddsalfa]

Haha.This car is a Europian Masterpies:)

[miguel1ro]

Why is this car been compare to the A7 when they are not direct competitors. CL- A7 yes, but not Grand Turismo. I would buy it It reminds me on 9-3, which I love

[kgoemer07]

Probably the worst looking BMW ever made

[bigQraz]

a7 is more like the cls so dont compare it with the gt

[ammi300]

BMW know what they doing!

[djdvd11]

this car is so ugly....wtf was bmw tinking of

[travien2002]

@djdvd11 wtf were your folks thinking when they made uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu....?

they were drinking

[Hayko342]

beautiful car ! :) I love it

[sorrowtree5]

i like it...

[MrPANOSZOZ]

i find this car controversial more than that ugly really and a loss of prestige for bmw !what awful designer!he must not be german for sure.poor bmw they destroyed you(i have an e60)

[ado1152]

@E60BMWM5 you are saying that A7 and 5GT look same to you???A7 is a limo 5GT is more like SUV...A7 can't steal 5GT costumers because they are in different classes dude

[norwegiangangsta]

The back looks like he fckd with the Toyota Prius. What a whaste of a such a big name, and look. I dont like this Bmw, I'm so serious. I'm a big Bmw fan,

but damn this is hard, especially the back.

[Thereznap]

not only FREAKISH. it's FUGLY.! i much prefer the 2011 5 series Sedan or the X6.

[Audiavec]

the back is fucking ugly!!! Shame on BMW, Its like the X3, uselesss!

[DivergentButton]

Very pointless car from BMW, along with a few others from them, and it looks hideous, I'm not sure what someone would find good looking in it.....

[inanobff95]

wowwww gayest car ive ever seen

[garciamakita]

in my country can be used funeral car

not nice

[mlavon100]

I TEST DROVE ONE AND I WAS IMPRESSED WITH THE RIDE BUT I COULDN'T GET PAST THE CROSSOVER FEELING AND IT'S LOOKS. THE END RESULT WAS NO SALE!

[gloomn8]

That thing is fuckin' hideous.

[YiMMA2k5]

900 lbs more and uglier then the previous 550i why buy when u can buy the previous one thats better and cheaper?

[kiii23]

@jml8841 how much u wanna bet bitch. plus i dont think u can even afford one poor ass fuckface

[jml8841]

@kiii23 I wanna bet all your fucking money you haven't got one...which is about 2 dollars i suppose. I wouldn't even want one because they are fucking ugly and if you drive one then that just means you haven't got taste...bitch. Go blow your mommies cunt you fucking imbred moron.

[jml8841]

The front looks okay,but i saw one today and the back looks like it's been rear-ended by a freightliner. I don't know what's up with bmw these days. And that split trunk design is just a rude copy of the Skoda Superb. I does however ride like a 7 series so i guess that's a good thing.

[oleksandrkucher2]

Just saw this car yesterday in BMW shop, and i was so much amazed, it looks great.

Really images and videos cannot show you how much beauty is she. Last 5 series is much bigger, it's looks like 7 series. Exterior and interior are 5+. Now looking for money printing device, i want this car.

Happy owner of 535i (E39).

[slwalton01]

I love the exterior and interior. This ride is sick! I want this bitch.

[buttnut1080]

This car is hideous. Not only does the body shape look like a fatter, constipated version of the sedan but the sloping roof line takes away from rear passenger room. Not to mention a V8 with twin turbos that "only" produces 400 hp; you'd expect more. And 8 speeds is too many on a car meant to be driven quickly. I'll stick to the upcoming M5 with a 6 speed which oddly has the same engine in this yet produces 150 hp more.

[Flipedsk8er527]

@buttnut1080 i belive the m5 is a v10 but its a 5.0 liter... this has the 4.4 and is twin turboed.. the m5s have been sooo much more refined too... all motor M5+6spd FTW

[buttnut1080]

@Flipedsk8er527 I heard that they're dropping the 10 for the next gen. M5. I hope they do. This way you get more power and torque while hopefully avoiding the gas guzzler tax.

[kiii23]

this car is beast i own one and it looks pretty good in real life

[jml8841]

@kiii23 Yeah right you own one, post a vid of it on your channel if you do. If you buy one of these it'll be worth only 50 % after the 1st year, they deppreciate faster than a falling brick because nobody wants them.

[kantk2008]

E60 looks>F10 looks

[dynamicadrenalin]

E39 /E46 were the last German looking BMW's I don't HATE the later models anymore but only because I've assimilated. Whoever said "watered down" was exactly right. I don't know why they feel the need to make their cars look like a Camry.

[joshua626]

I like the look I would buy. Things I dont like: the weight and the fuel economy which 15/21.

[xmanguy94]

bmw is getting uglier i wish they would go to the older looking models

[TheStunna420]

looks heavy

[redeyes99]

It's X6 junior!

[macpowah]

omg this car is amazing! I am disgusted with how much it weighs, and it could be more driver oriented, but as far as looks go...WOW. Has anyone seen one in person? Much better than photos. This car is different, and what's so wrong with that? Don't like it? Too bad. Buy a 550i sedan. Don't cry about it, because guess what. You don't HAVE to buy it!

[blueberrypreserves]

hiddeous. another model to water down the brand.

[acd817]

I Love this car....I've had too many SUV's....Gonna buy this baby....Perfect for ME,a baby boomer!!!!

[4MATICbenz]

I do appreciate the balance of sport, luxury and functionality, but the shape/style of this thing is hard to get passed....

Sorry, it's ugly....

[rangeyer]

Stupid car. I'd rather buy an older BMW in good shape

[adenis111]

thats fucking freakieshly faboulas

[alphie10]

very nice car but man the front of the car is ugly lookslike someone punched the car in the face lol bmw nice car but they have ruined the looks abit

[dubaron84]

i love bmw but it looks funky to me. i hate when they try to make sports cars more spacious/luxurious. if you want space buy a truck. bmw has gone soft on us its a shame.if yur gonna make a car with balls make it look like it has balls.

[grmnku]

i like this car in person ... but not on picture or video ... not a big fan of the looks but i love the interior design and the passenger's leg room

[alphie10]

@grmnku i agree the front is fukin ugly

[quatlen]

I would prefer a traditional station wagon over this.

[resellworld]

i wish there was a "throw up" button on my keyboard

[olehtheukie]

badass car. looks sexy

[typesblkura]

Saw one on the highway here in Houston the other day...It looks much better in real life imo

[RoidinRichie]

ugly

[vitessemeister]

It does look better in person but they should call it X7 instead, it would make more sense

[cantonhockey1]

dude id drive it

[2iBMX]

narrow minded indeed... I'd say closed-minded maybe. Life must be boring for them.

[ERIKx466]

@2iBMX

I'm not close minded when it comes to cars, and i still think it looks like a piece of shit.

[TripleZ89]

People calling this "ugly" are pretty narrow minded. Sad.

[maddawgzzzz]

wtff lol ugly as hell. old womans car.

[jlj90210]

piece of crap..ugly as hell

[will8562000]

looks like a mix of a vw cc, dodge charger and vanquish

[paduaowned]

looks like shit

[tigersoup]

i think one day bmws will turn into looking like a true fish!

[philip21786]

It's nice. I prefer muscle cars, but my aunt owns a beemer, and I've driven it, so I can appreciate a nice BMW. great car. She doesn't own THIS bmw though. too bad.

[2003BMW325i]

I really does honestly look horrible.

[86bmw325i]

If i neede that space, I would probably buy. But i don't

[quickcooper61]

good review though

[quickcooper61]

ok I am a BMW lover but WTF?!?!?!?!? I would rather them build amazing road beasts that only true drivers would buy and have them come close to bankruptcy than build stuff like this it is just ugly.

[jonny5777]

good review but learn how to talk americans! its not 'nitch' its 'niche' with empahsis on the sh sound!

[utubeyaw]

BMW venza/crosstour

[fatalegg]

It really does look better in person.

[maheshcx]

looks like a BMW crosstour

[maheshcx]

@xrokr wow ur dum

[Febbre46OnlyForRossi]

pure luxe

[theodoro216]

I love the front and the interior of this car. From the sides it looks like panamera(porsche) I also like it's engine :P

[brittonray]

i think i almost barfed. But.................. i love the chris bangle 5 series. looks aggressive to me. im thinking of getting a 535i. Not so much a fan of the new 5 series

[1tristan1henderson]

Still trying to figure out why BMW build these USELESS and FUGLY cars recently..

[taedom]

not for the cost I am expecting???? 50g Plus I would expect...

[mlacayoa]

Weird, Similar to X6

[TAYOTAS]

i dont know why they make such sick cars like em...... just for wasting time... :x

[hzolii]

Overpiced shitbox!

[onetwothreefour721]

Weird car

[FrostedCold]

What the hell is a NITCH?! Niche dude...Niche!!!!!

[doctorsizzle]

@FrostedCold stupid fools have been over complicating this word for years and making it sound more than what it is.

you need to use:

merriam-webster

you can keep your pronunciation: NEESH, it's also pronounced NICH.

sit down, damn teacher's pet...this is a video about a car.

[MazdamusPrime]

it's a hatchback....jeeze whats wrong with people. o it blurs the lines.... it's like calling a subaru outback an suv. it's an all wheel drive station wagon. on tall tires! carmakers are trying so hard to distance themselves from these names. and is it me or should bmw designers move to saab? seriously anyone rember saab before gm took over all there cars looked like this only you know, they were made without offroading in mind.

[ThebigTH]

Possibly the worst BMW i have ever seen. what happened to the BMW that designed the clean lines of the E30, E34, E39, and E38. All these cars were so simple but so elegant. All the new BM's look like a fkn mess.

[DragonsKing91]

the car front look like misubishi lancer

[skbuoy]

there is no point in buying this car. it is more expensive than an X5 and looks ugly. BMW is my favorite car brand, but this is shit

[goatmonkey2112]

It's a BMW Citation.

[jobranLB]

amazing and very fabulous

[qutiek32]

BMW had to build there version of a Pontiac Aztec both ugly

[seroyer2]

hey their theres no need to insult BMW, it funky looking but its no way near that Ugly.

[onetwothreefour721]

hey, i'm a bmw fanatic & this car is ugly

[TAYOTAS]

5/5 correct.... this car and the proshe panamera look alike ,, they look like s***

[gasfgiop]

forget the car, can i get the chick?

[MrIWILLSUBSCRIBE]

i usually dont like when bmw tries to get creative, kind of like porsche with the panamera. but this, makes sense.. wouldnt be my favorite styling choice. but it definately makes sense

[nittin6778]

ugly...

[Alezey574]

i love beemers, but that shit is ugly

[nittin6778]

seriously man, I'm a huge fan... but looking at that thing made me puke in my mouth

[vitessemeister]

They might as well call this an X7

X5 Off road

X6 sportier

X7 for excecutives

[pudhaa]

so ugly that you have to hide it from every one.

[brocky]

BMW has actually looked better recently since Chris Bangle left. It's still not saying much though.

[MrChillgoose]

i think bmw has been trying to make there cars uglier than their last generation

[mahmoud1882]

why , there is no women testing Cars

[dude486]

Capibara....

[tranceme24]

people will buy because it's different and still a BMW

[henryseekins]

Freakish

[BIGGIEDEVIL]

not bad it's way better the accord crosstour! the double lift trunk is a great idea!

[FuriousPumpkin]

i would hope it'd be better it costs twice as much.

[megadude86]

fail

[jesustorres85]

omg it does look like a vehicle that a lesbian would drive! no offense to anyone.

[Pistonring05]

Fucking Ugly POS. This is the first BMW I don't like! :/

[grezzer31]

It would of made more sence to name it the Bmw X7

[matlock044]

It looks like something a lesbian would drive.

[PorscheCayenneLover]

Hahaha! I never thought of that. Actually, the Nissan Frontier and Xterra are the ultimate butch cars.

[MakeLoveNoBabiez]

When i think of the name "GRAN Turismo" i think of something avant garde and striking! A head turner......THIS NOT it!.....it looks like a lowered X6!

[coolerdude44]

if it handles better than the 5 series wagon, yet has more passenger space and more power, then i guess the car justifies its existence. but, the x6 and x1 surely do not.

[xStalkerxx]

gremlin?

[xStalkerxx]

il tell you...a slugish whale!!!

[nfusco618]

It actually looks pretty good in person. It's like the Porsche Panamera, where it looks like crap in photos.

[TamiyaDude]

The panamera looks like shit in person and so does this nazi waste of money.

[coolerdude44]

@TamiyaDude i disagree, the panamera is beautiful.

[WTCHME]

I like the panamera also.

[MakeLoveNoBabiez]

@TamiyaDude...................­.U ARE FUCKIN CRAZY! the panamera looks stuning. TELL ME U WUDNT notice it on the streets and say DAMN! boy just shut up! ur eyes need extra strength VISINE!

[pretty00lights]

@MakeLoveNoBabiez extra strength visine? are you serious

[Apoth3cary]

2010 Camaros will turn heads faster....

[SpikeRazzor]

What does the Camaro have to do with a BMW crossover?

[nfusco618]

So would a man with an arm growing out of his face. I kid I kid. Camaros are nice.

[DONNYBOYY28]

Good then since your the only one that thinks it looks 'stunning' you should get a great deal on it! hahha

[MakeLoveNoBabiez]

Porsche has been makin beautiful cars for over a century and the panamera is no different...Most super cars look too sexy and feminine. The panamera is straight up butch. sexy and stern @ the same time. At the cock pit is straight from a space ship! 400 - 500 hp....I love th CAR and i guess beauty is in th eyes of the beholder.

[DONNYBOYY28]

Where does this come from, i mean what cause you to write this? The fact of the matter is the vast majority of people who posted here think the car is ugly! I would love to hear which super cars you feel look feminine!

[MakeLoveNoBabiez]

@DONNYBOYY28...........Ppl think wat they think! i dont follow. so wat if the vast majority of ppl think its ugly!....N play stupid like u dont know the point i was trying to get across when i said certain (if not a majority) super cars look feminine!....I dont have a list!....But 4 uR slowness i'll say the Audi R8 and McLaren! Its personally taste boy!....REply! dont expect 1 frm me! DONE!

[DONNYBOYY28]

You just proved that you have no idea what your talking about, i think you should spend less time on youtube and start learning to write and spell!

[MakeLoveNoBabiez]

@DONNYBOYY28.....Likewise!

[BrooklynBoas]

This is interesting is the only comment i can really provide on this series

[davewhodavedunn]

I think it's nice. It look's great from ALMOST every angle, except a front/side profile, where it tends too look more wagonish.

I give them a ton of credit for creating something DIFFERENT, as EVERY car company is copying each other. It's about time we see something new.

As for the interior, BMW must be listening, they are starting to go towards a more advanced looking interior, as opposed to the usual basic, plain, and boring interior. Like I said they're STARTING, Not quiet yet there!

[oistein74]

fugly

[robm425]

reminds me of a Pontiac Aztec

I personally would rather buy the 5 series wagon ot X5

[sdlausen]

I know what it is and what to call it! It's Fuggin' UGGLY!!!!

[dee8817]

If I had the money i would buy one... I love the unique trunk design. There's plenty of space. Plus the performance you'd expect from a BMW. Although it makes more sense to buy an X5. But I still like the styling and the uniqueness that BMW is bring to the luxury car segment.

[jondeak]

Why ? WHY BMW WHY ?!?!?!?!

[zuneluvr]

I love it. Very practical and nice trick trunk

[thejackal555]

Awesome Car..........and It's not ugly at all!!

Thumbs up

[alterbyme]

Dont like it... at all!

[sa3333d]

bmw SUCKSSS , mercedes ROCKS !

[Toolband42O]

The only word I'm going to describe this atrocity with is "disgusting" In my eyes its one of the ugliest BMW's ever made

[youlance29]

A hatchback luxury sedan? UGLY!!!!

[NelyNelyNely]

Frankenstein back wow

[dragonamt]

lols, everybody else seems to think its ugly, butt this is one of the few beamers I actually really like. I have good taste, yall are just a bunch of camry drivers. lol I guess thats the thing, to each his own, but honestly... where do people get this: EW!!! FUGLY BOXY HATCHBACK from? Are they just blind or what? nuthn' like a volvo shoebox. quite sleek i'd say, especially for a european car, which agenerally have this sort of mix & matched, unfinnished look to them, the exterior at least.

[apricotsnms516]

i like it

[xellos26]

Fugly to say the Least but its a step in the right direction. not on Style but its useful. I don't Like it back to the drawing board for Better Style I HATE HATCHBACKS UUUUUUUGGLLLLLYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!­!!

[zenom88]

still hv no idea why it shld call a gt . gt is like 350z or .. porsche 911 or bmw 645i isnt it . a car that good for cross continents . not a multi purpose car kinda thing .

[meteora8888]

all gimmick...dont like it.

[eskimochild87]

i actually like the 9-3 classic w/ the hatch its more vers then a boot and better lookin then a estate(wagon)

[ThePhiltastic]

This thing is big but very sporty

[tommybrown2068]

Looks very Saab-ish....which i dont like...but pretty practical though..i like the storage action, though its at the expense of beauty......

GT should not be attached to this car though....mixes you up

[Nismoleb89]

another pointless BMW

[TyroNeon]

@Nismoleb89 another person that doesnt know what he is talking about lol... good comment

[Nismoleb89]

like you... now tell me who's going to buy this $75,000 car.... NO BODY... its too expensive, too ugly. and well, an X5 would be more practical than this POS...
