Congrats on your purchase! I had an E53 2005 (LCI) X5 4.4 Sport - one of my favorite Bimmers. Care to comment on your GT vs your E70 X5?

How's it going? How is your GT holding up on this side of the pond?

Hi there! Pure Bliss. The GT could use some serious intake/exhaust sound enhancements to project the 450 lbs/tq. I would love if it could match your G37s! (and my G37 coupe RIP)

I know what your saying, although in sport mode when the GT hangs on to the gears, it sounds pretty aggressive. I know what you mean by lack of exhaust sound though. G37 sounds pretty good especially on start up. Mine is a coupe as well. If we could have the exhaust sound similar to the x6/x5 50i we'd be just fine

GT owners
Just got my 2011 550xi gt last saturday...what a great car!
I upgraded from a 2009 X6 535 xi...I got more compliments with the X6 than with most other cars I've owned. The one: Black Saphire Metallic, Cinnamon Brown Dakota leather, Convenience Package, Cold Weather Package, Dynamic Handling Package, Sport Package. |

What prompted you to make the switch from the X6? Although, I am sure as you already experienced by now, the 550 GT (namely the TTV8) is quite different from the X6 Xdrive 35i

Just took delivery of our first 550I GT black sapphire over black/white nappa. Love the car for us it is head and shoulders above any other options. Superior all the way around. Only thing is we didn't get is the backup camera. So obvious question is who can advise on OEM refit. I know it is available on earlier BMW's. Any thoughts or advise?

As I am also in the process of ordering a 530D GT, tried to analyse the various models owned by people who responded in this thread. Out of 21 respondents who mentioned they bought a GT one did not specify the engine. Of the 20 this is my analysis:
Canada 550i..... 1 US 550i..... 9 535i..... 2 Europe 535i..... 1 530d.... 1 UK 530d.... 5 Singapore 535i... 1 So across the Atlantic in the US and Canada petrol engines specially the 550i is most popular 83% of all the US GTs. Europe incl UK the 530d seems the popular option 6 out of 7 (86%). Hopefully, in 3 moths time, I can add mine in this group. The one in Singapore is a 535i Just a small piece of info, probably already obvious to the members. Since many of the above owners have had the car for over 1 year, it would be nice to know about their experience over this period of ownership. Last edited by biswasg; 02-10-2011 at 09:34 AM.. |

1 year and 15,365 miles no real issues until today I noticed that the car is completely mute - no audible alerts and/or sound from any of the audio/video sources, PDC, fasten seat belt alert, door open gong, etc.. Visit with dealer-service scheduled tomorrow morning. I personally think its likely an amplifier problem. Other than that very recent issue, the car pulls like a speed boat, stops now, and turns/grips confidently. No rattles, squeaks, or shakes to report
