“Good to drive and more versatile than a standard 5-Series, but the 5GT remains one of BMW's biggest mistakes. Buy a 5-Series Touring instead”
Good stuff
Typically BMW-like to drive, well made, well-performing engines
Bad stuff
Just look at it...
Overview
What is it?
The 5-Series GT is one of BMW's biggest mistakes. The large hatchback-style body is meant to hit the middle ground between the 5-Series saloon and Touring, but doesn't succeed. Mainly because it looks utterly ungainly. BMW has tried to better it over the years with a facelift or two, but it's a bit like putting make-up on a pig. This is a very ugly car indeed, particularly from the rear (although the M-Sport trim does help lift the front end, a little).

What's the verdict?
“A car in search of an identity. If it keeps you out of the thuggish X5 or X6, then by all means go for it. But why not a 5-series Touring?”
