Both cars are absolutely fantastic, and the GT is incredibly spacious especially for rear passengers.
However, the difference in ride quality between 7 & 5 is night and day.
The GT is a completely different ride, much harder than you would expect.
Maybe we notice it more because we are in and out of both vehicles often.
Many drivers put this down to runflats, but I also have runflats on my 7 and the ride is fantastic.
I would arrange a lengthy testdrive with your dealer, and see how you get on.
I would guess that you will notice a HUGE difference compared to your MB.
Don't forget that the GT is an incredible car, as long as you find the ride acceptable you will be very happy with one.
Cheers

Please be so kind and explain:
1) What is the difference in ride quality between 7 and 5GT? (You have said night and day difference. Can you be more specific?)
I have BMW GT 530d with Dynamic Drive Control + Adaptive Drive and I am experiencing smooth (not at all hard) drive?
I can not see any difference in these two ADAC tests:

2) What was the reason for swapping X6 with 7 and X5 with 5GT?
Thank you in advance for your answers.
