BMW 5-Series GT xDrive version
The BMW 5-Series GT will soon be available in an all-wheel drive xDrive version, specifically aimed at the US market. It should come into direct competition with the Mercedes R-Class, which has been available since its launch date in 4Matic all-wheel drive.
The first available version of the 5-Series GT four wheel drive will be the 550i GT xDrive, which will be available from June. In September the 535i and 530d will also be available with xDrive, and the models are expected to cost about 7,000 euros more than the standard rear wheel drive model.

BMW 5-Series GT production last instalment
Here’s the final instalment in the BMW 5-Series GT production videos, where we see the 5-Series desert testing and high-speed driving before its official debut. To see the previous production videos, including the original design and initial testing, see the first instalment of the 5-Series GT production.
BMW 5-Series GT production videos
The BMW 5-Series GT was first presented to the European market at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor show. It is now available in the US, and these videos show the design and production phases of the new 5-Series Gran Turismo. We get an insight into both the exterior and interior design philosophy, and get a peek at some BMW technology, including the 3D glasses used to visualise the interior before any concept is actually made.
The second part of the video, after the jump, shows the prototype and testing phase of the BMW 5-Series GT, with all of its handmade parts. Crash tests are completed, and it’s time to get the 5-Series GT out on the track to see how it actually drives. We even get to see how the camouflage works in testing! Check it all out in the videos.
New BMW 5-Series pics and details
The sixth generation BMW 5-Series has gotten rid of its Bangle design, as thought, and has evolved into a smaller version of the 7-Series, with some elements showing the influence of the 5-Series GT interior.
The new 5-Series is a sophisticated sedan, destined to be a crowd pleaser, with a few clever changes for this new generation. The interior takes on a more driver-oriented set-up, and the exterior design has a new, longer wheel base for more passenger room, and a longer bonnet.
The F10 named project has focused on pared-back, elegant design, and while it conservative, it still packs some aggression in the front nose. After the jump is the full press release from BMW on its new 5-Series, including its complete engine range at launch. More details, including pricing, should follow, and stay tuned for a 5-Series video.
