I think the 5 GT has been an absolute find: once you get over the rear looks and the gimmicky rear end, it is actually a superb tourer: fast, stable, great drive and handling in sport mode, and tons of luxurious space. The car shares almost everything with the 7-Series and is only linked to the 5 in name. Even the trim options i have cant be got on the 5-Sedan and Touring [such as Ivory White Leather and Unlacquered Fineline Wood Interior. All the fun bits are standard.
I am soooo glad I got this over the M-Sport Sedan which I still cant love.

Well I have 7100 on my 550 GT. My car still looks showroom, and when I drive it I'm not shy with it. The car will scream in sport mode, and to be honest I have no complaints about the handling. The only thing I am on the fence about is the run flats, altough the Good Year Excellence RFT's are better than other RFT's I have experienced, they still can be harsh over some surfaces. Other than that I love driving my "wing less" private jet
