BMW 5 Series GT Concept Breaks Cover

 BMW 5 Series GT Concept Breaks Cover
BMW 5-Series GT

At a special event in Munich, BMW have unveiled the highly anticipated 5-Series GT, aka PAS. The model is set to have its official unveiling at the Geneva Motor Show next month and follows in the vein of previous concept vehicles from the Bavarian automaker with a production ready look.

Styling is drawn very strongly from the new 2010 BMW 7-series with its large front grille, headlights and L-shaped tail lights. The coupe-like profile clearly follows in the footsteps of the X6.

An extended wheelbase similar to the 7-Series Long Wheel Base results in an extremely spacious cabin giving rear occupants extra legroom for a more comfortable experience.

Full details along with a mountain of official photos are expected later today, until then enjoy the photos.

[UPDATE] 26 Official low-res images added to mini photo album.

Smart tail gate idea.

Just putting this out there, but I reckon that looks great. Would look much better with the flared front spoiler off the M5/5 Series Sport, though. And the tailgate thing is just a gimmick, and not a particularly smart one in my opinion - they're basically admitting the main lid is too awkward and heavy. Would be useful in a tight car park, though.

This project had a lot of potential, but I think BMW missed the mark. The front end looks a lot like a pigs nose, and bloated from many angles. IMHO, Audi is the closest in this segment to having an amazing car with the A7 Concept. Can't wait for the new Mercedes CLS to break cover, too. At best, this car is bloated and slightly awkward.

Hold up, didnt Porsche get flamed for the Panamera for a similar design philosophy? But i suppose with this car seemingly looking bigger, it can pull of the wierd tailgate thing. I do love the more vertical side pporfile of the nose though. There's something about it...

There was only one photo that looked like the panamera. The tailgate would be heavy and it doesn't really give the boot area any more space

I like all of it, i think it looks great even though it is just a hatch back. It is all pretty BMW which i like. Keep up the good work. I like this more than the X6 but i still think that the X6 is pretty cool aswell.

I like this, but can't help thinking about its position in the BMW range against the X6. This looks fairly similar, is smaller (so likely more efficient), and cheaper too. Maybe this is what the X6 should have been! I think i'll be trading in my X6 when this is released!

I despise anything BMW... every single new design is absolutely awful, ugly, horrible It just keeps getting worse... jeez... can't wait for the BMW "5-Series GT PAS-M"... because we all need another 500hp crossover

how ugly can a bmw get? i think their designers live in a world of their own..for some years now. just look at bmw's cars. and now they are not only ugly, but useless too. come on, a gt sedan, wanna be R-class mercedes, mixed with a bit of cls and a7... what? it's like in that episode in southpark with man-bear-pig; half man, half bear, half pig. no wait, it's half bear, half man, half pig. no, i think it's half pig, half man, half bear. or maybe it's just stupid. for sure that's not a car.

of course bmw doesnt make ugly shapes,It looks perfect...The most suitable engine is the V8 4liter from M3 & maybe The huge V10
