Motor Trend has the goods.Fashion-forward Yanks who can be coaxed into a test-spin of this too-tall car/too-short SUV will be impressed with its Swiss-Army-knife versatility and after a few miles at the helm of the 550i GT, they may think they've stumbled across a Filene's Basement bargain on a slightly irregular 7 Series ($82,280 if perfect, now $65,000!)...Power flows from the 7's formidable
Official pricing for the 2010 BMW 550i GT will begin from $64,725. Power is delivered via a 400 horsepower 4.4-liter V8 which is mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission. Zero to 60 mph time is said to be 5.4 seconds, but with a steep price tag and a love-it-or-hate-it design, the power may not be [...]
BMW announced the pricing for its all-new 2010 550i Gran Turismo; it starts at $63,900, before a $825 destination charge. That may sound like a lot of money at first, but the 2010 550i sedan starts at $60,400 and doesn’t...
We just received official pricing for the BMW 550i GT — you remember, the 5-Series GT — the car you're desperately trying to forget wears the little blue propeller on the hood? The 4.4-liter V8 model starts at $64,725. It's got a 4.4-liter V8 with 400 HP and 450 lb-ft of torque, an 8-speed automatic transmission, and a 0-60MPH time of 5.4 seconds, but it sure can't outrun the ugly. Making...
We have got a collection of not one but two videos elaborating on the evolution of the 911 and the 911 turbo, which are one of the best sports cars ever made. While both of the videos are nowhere near as informative as wikipedia (which is the best source according to me), they do give some [...] Related posts: BMW 5 Series GT Concept Video BMW 5-Series Gran Tourismo (GT) Concept was expected in Geneva...
One of the highlights of trucks and SUVs is a high hip point (known as the 'H' point in design parlance). The height of the seat makes it easier for driver and passenger to enter and exit (with the exception of some truly stilted 4x4s). That elevated 'H' point will be driving sales of cars to aging baby boomers in the years to come (possibly...

To many, the new 2010 BMW 5-Series GT is the answer to a question nobody asked. Part crossover, part wagon, and part sedan--and in the 550i, part sports car--the 5-Series GT attempts to be all things to all people but never really hits its mark. [Motor Authority] Alfa Romeo is working on a brand new flagship sedan to replace its former 166. ..

What to make of the BMW 5 Series GT? The latest big car in BMW’s range is pitched somewhere between the 5 Series and X5, yet is based on the 7 Series. Would you buy one – or is this just another sub-niche too far? The 5 Series GT is best thought of as a car [...]

We’ve seen many spy pictures of the BMW X5 but this is the clearest of the lot. These were captured around the Spartanburg plant in Germany. The new X6-style front headlights and the familiar kidney front grille are similar to those seen on the recently launched BMW 5-Series GT . The front bumper is almost identical to the one found on the BMW X6, with larger air intakes and new front fog light surrounds.
