The BMW 5 Series Gran Turismo is an upcoming car and was first displayed by BMW in 2009 at the Geneva Motor Show as a concept car.[1] It is the first production-destined rendition for BMW's Progressive Activity Sedan (PAS) series of cars, its development code was F07.[2] The 5 GT serves as a combination of a sport sedan, an SUV, and a Gran Turismo.

The F07 platform provides a vehicle length traditionally found in a BMW 7 Series, but with the headroom found in a BMW X5. The F07 also features a unique "bi-modal" trunk, similar to the Twin Door concept on the Skoda Superb, which may be opened in a traditional car like fashion, or the entire hatch may be open in a traditional SUV fashion for larger objects. The F07 is a derivative of the F10 platform that will underpin the sixth-generation of the 5 Series.

On January 30, 2009 BMW released a video "BMW Concept: Scribble Video". The video was the first public introduction into the thought process behind the design of the progressive activity vehicle series and the upcoming 5 GT. [3]

It will launch as a 2010 model, with an expected price between $65,000 and $70,000, during the fourth quarter of 2009.[4]

Technology and equipment

The models include 8-speed automatic transmission, and BMW EfficientDynamics regenerative breaking. Dynamic Drive Control with optional Adaptive Drive added COMFORT setting in addition to NORMAL, SPORT and SPORT+ modes, with reduced stability control intervention in the SPORT+ setting and in the traction mode.

The cargo capacity is increased to 590 litres (1,700 litres with folded rear seats). Other features include LED daytime driving lights. Optional features include 4-zone automatic air conditioning (standard in BMW 550i Gran Turismo), telecommunication and navigation systems, a USB port, an 80 GB hard disc for navigation data and music collection, a multi-channel audio system, a DAB double tuner, a DVD entertainment system at the rear, a Head-Up Display, a panorama glass roof, an electrically swivelling trailer hook.[5]

In the 5er GT - partly against surcharge - are several driver assistance systems how:

  • Adaptive cruise control with Stop & Go feature
  • Blind Spot Information System,
  • Lane departure warning system,
  • Night vision
  • Head-Up Display,
  • Integral Active Steering (rear wheel steering)
  • Rear view camera,
  • Sideview (two cameras in the front bumper that look to the left and right)
  • Topview (of the two additional cameras in the exterior mirrors, the side-view cameras, reversing camera and sensors from the PDC to create an overall picture of the vehicle and its environment, and show it from the air) and
  • a speed limit display. For this, a camera will check street signs with speed limits. These are displayed in the speedometer, as well as head-up display.

Design and style

BMW 5 Series Gran Turismo (2009), rear view.

The 5 GT has dimensions mimicking in length the 7 Series, a height and trunk space slightly more than the 5 Series wagon, and headroom comparable to the BMW X5.[6]

The 5 GT features design cues from the BMW CS Concept, as well as new designs indicative of upcoming models. The vehicle has a coupe-like roofline, elevated seating, and a "bi-modal" trunk which operates like a sedan or a traditional SUV. For the first time on a 4-door BMW, the 5 GT features frameless doors. The headlights contain the new LED Corona rings slanted at an angle and extending into the fenders.

The first production versions launched as 2010 models, with an expected price between $65,000 and $70,000, during the fourth quarter of 2009.[4] The first three models released and their respective engine specifications were:
