Take it or leave it we're going to start seeing the new 5er GTs in the show rooms next spring. BMW is displaying the BMW 5 Series Gran Turismo at the South Florida International Auto Show. If you're in the area go to the show and report back on how it looks in person.
Woodcliff Lake, NJ - The BMW 5 Series Gran Turismo will make its North American debut at the South Florida International Auto Show October 23-November 1. For the first time, attributes of an elegant sedan, a contemporary Sports Activity Vehicle and a classic Gran Turismo are masterfully melded into a single, harmonious vehicle shape. The BMW 5 Series Gran Turismo adds new facets to BMW's Ultimate Driving Machine tradition and refines the concept of first-class travel.
The traditional European term Gran Turismo (Grand Touring) was first applied by Italian car makers in the 1950s when they combined the performance, handling, and style of a 2-seat sport car with luxurious amenities and luggage room for each occupant. BMW's new Gran Turismo nurtures this tradition in its own contemporary way, providing exceptional space, style, luxury, and comfort for four passengers[1], plus the performance and driving pleasure of a BMW.
