Fifth Gear reviews the 530d GT and has positive things to say, including that it handles better than some sports cars. See Vicki Butler's review inside.

Watch from 2:25 seconds in.

The similarly priced and fully optioned Nissan GT-R will blow the crap out of a fully optioned 550i GT. Different category cars, but for the price the Nissan GT-R is way more desirable and well equipped.

If they are in two different categories why would you even make a comparison?? Two different things for two different buyers.

Its a swiss army knive between a prius, the new honda hybrid, and the pontiac aztec... Just plain ugly. Trying to like it but i just cant!

Not a huge fan personally of the look of the car - but it is cool in terms of features/functionality!

for those who haven t seen this car in person, haven t touched, haven t drove it yet, be aware by the fact that there are huge differences between what we can see on a computer screen and reality! this car is amazing!!!!
