Chunky 5 Series?

Phil W · 23 Jan 2010 at 21:07

Hi all,

Was over in Germany last week, and in the works car park, there was a reasonably new 5 series, that looked like a 4x4 but... wasn't.

Any idea what this was?

/edit - Seems it was the "GT"... googled it, but not really sure why i thought it was a 4x4?!

It's a 5 Series GT.

They are only trialling it.

It won't be available anytime soon.

having seen them out and about on the road, i'm not so sure i'm a fan anymore.
it looked fantastic on the stand at Frankfurt airport, but they look awkward in town

As opposed to puking in somewhere else?

alternatives were
projectile puke on the inside of the windscreen
in my lap
over the dashboard

yknow, the usual things that are in puking distance when youre driving a car. but i chose not to

was the 5 Series GT not within puking distance? Might have improved the visuals, you never know.

They're absolutely enormous. And disgusting.

if only if only

i doubt there will be many on the roads. the cayenne looked a bit funky but eventually it "grew" on you but the 5 series gt is just shocking. plain offensive.

id imagine most of them being company cars anyway, surely people wouldnt actually spend their own money on something that stupid looking

Lovely car. Best in 5 series range ever.

I like them. I particularly like the inside too
