Short summary:
- He makes a comparison to the E36 Compact (calls the 5 GT a "7 series Compact"), VW Golf Plus and weird looking hatchbacks like the Opel Signum and Renault Vel Satis.
- The GT is very spacious and luxurious (the press car was fully loaded with options)
- Damping of the rear suspension not very forgiving on speed bumps (unfortunately we have way too many of those in the Netherlands).
- Straight line performance with the current engine lineup (245 hp 530d GT up to 407hp 550i) obviously very good. The car drives very well but feels large and heavy, doesn't shrink when pushed hard in the twisties.
- Good value for money, based on 7 series but much lower in price.
- He doesn't really like the styling of the car, compares buying the 5 GT over of the 7 series to dating the average looking girl over the hot chick in high school because the former is easier to reach. In the end that's not what makes him really happy
