MotorWeek Road Test: 2010 BMW 5 Series-GT

[m19921992]

much rather see the 550i touring F10 being sold in the US.

[LoveMyAcuraLegend]

Gross

[boyhash1]

I still dont understand why they call it a 5 series.  Its on the 7 series platform. That's why it is so large.

[markmarshall39]

where i live at, ive never seen one!!

[nicoargca]

throw in a sports looking body kit and this beast will become one sexy bitch!!!

[soccernerd22]

this just looks like an X6

[hotttbunny]

lol a 'coop'

COOOOPAYYY

[adogg619]

Both the I-6 and V8 engines make enough power and torque throughout the rev range, so why the hell do they need an 8 speed transmission?

Sounds like a numbers game to me, just so they can compete with other manufacturers.

[76carmel]

@adogg619

The reason for the 8-speed auto is to improve fuel efficiency. It's worked. Mercedes has a 7-speed auto, and Audi uses the tiptronic 8-speed auto as well. Even Chrysler has adopted it with the Chrysler 300 and Dodge Charger.

[76carmel]

@adogg619

Not only that, this transmission will still give it a sporty feel with paddle shifters and will not diminish the performance, especially a BMW. A poor performing BMW? Not on their watch.

[MrSaxophoneman1]

eh i like the way it looks. ive seen much worse.

[p10ghost]

I laughed out loud when the camera paned out and I saw the ass of that thing. lol. wooh thats ugly.

[quillab]

@p10ghost you won't laugh when you see it in real life. its beautiful

[venom5809]

So effing ugly. Just hideous.

[n0c0n]

Not sure if Bangle is still with BMW but ever since the Banglised 7 series, they have had many fugly cars. Just horrible.

[flawns]

even those this car is fucking ugly I know there's going to be that one armenian in glendale thats going to buy this...esh...*barfs* excuse me

[igeekone]

I'll have the 5 Series Estate over this ugly beast.

[MrGSNfan]

This looks perfectly proportioned compared to the X6.

[76carmel]

@MrGSNfan

It does, but the X6 is huge, and not all too practical. If I want a BMW SUV with performance with comfort, I'll take an X5. 

[blitch1234]

Lame looking rims, big old donkey of a rear end. I would only drive this if I won it in some contest. At least there is still the M3 that looks good.

[BEEMERFAN79]

Still better than merc R-class.

[e40cally]

Uuuummmmmm..........

[WildDanHibiki]

ewww it looks like the bastard child of the x6 and the 5 series

[wildbloodydragon]

@WildDanHibiki Wouldn't call it bastard child...since we already know the parents...

More like incest child.

[rlawlsgh]

Wow, what the hell happened to BMW? This car is pure ugly....The front, rear, even rims are all ugly.....

[pjtart]

Got to admit that the car is quite ugly i dun really like the design.

[boricuas4669]

I give it less than 4 years on the market .... Huge failure, waste of money and resources !!

[2iBMX]

Definately NOT uglier than the new Scion TC... the regular 2010 5 series, 535i is gorgeous though.

[quatlen]

It is the ugliest thing I've ever seen in my life.

[929fightinIrish]

shutter* ehh coupe good sedan good small hatch good estate car/ wagon good this new crostore, x6 , this thing so on an so forth not at all

[swedishiron]

Americans are soooo stupid - bring back the station wagons please!

[ViperVenomACR]

i don't like it one of the ugliest BMW ever made along with the E46 Compact don't get me wrong i love every single BMW just not those 2

[fanmusclecars]

Saw this up close at the local BMW dealership. Nearly puked right their on the lot.

[radudeATL]

I'm sorry, John Davis, but that looks nothing like a coupe - at all...

@ 0:38

[DevPack]

ewwwwwwww

[AMGrulz]

I hope automakers (BMW, really) come to their senses and stop trying to create niches that don't exist.

[TJC450]

i hope these ugly ass thing's like the accord crosstour become a big hit!

[aarikc17]

@TJC450 me too!

[humanparody12]

It looks like a Mazda 3 and a BMW 5-series had a lovechild. The front end also reminds me of when you pick a cat up by the scruff of its neck and it stretches its face back.

But then again, that's merely my opinion. I'm sure not everyone shares it.

[mail22]

it's ugly and useless...

[siamiam]

@mail22

not every one will like the looks, but its more useful overall

[aarikc17]

@siamiam agree
