In short, it does its job very, very well. That trip would have been painful in the 1er!
Scroll down to the bottom for ED pics of our GT:

And FWIW, I read somewhere BMW recently stated that all their new vehicles post GT will have the LED angel eyes. Not sure if that meant all series or what... |
Hi ducboy,
Glad to read your happy with your GT. ("car delivered best ride, comfort and amenities of any vehicle I've driven under $100,000"). I have one on order for delivery in Australia when they are released next March. Ordering without a drive first is a risk, so its nice to read your comments. Also nice to collect car at BMW Welt. Was there a few months ago.
Drive a X5 and owned a 745Li in Australia, presently have a 335i which the GT will replace (because the 335i is too small). Just wish we could buy the car for 'under $100,000 in Australia. We are paying $170,000 with quite a few extras. The US could solve its deficit problems if the just put a bit of 'luxury tax' on cars and a reasonable tax on fuel. (Like the rest of the world). Anyway enjoy your car.
HowieR (currently in Switzerland).
