Long-term update: 2010 BMW 535i GT interior


The BMW 535i Gran Turismo is not with us any more. It was taken away from us in less than a month for “internal use” but after asking for it back numerous times, we’ve given up on seeing it again. We figured we should give it some proper coverage before closing the chapter on it, so here is a look at this luxury car’s luxurious interior.

Long-term update: 2010 BMW 535i Gran Turismo


With familiarity comes fondness. When we first asked BMW for a long-term tester, we requested the new 5-Series. When we found out we’ll be given the 5-Series Gran Turismo instead, we weren’t thrilled but we were ready to take any BMW we got.

The 2010 BMW 5-Series Gran Turismo has apparently been out for a while now, but this test vehicle is the first one I’ve ever seen on UAE roads. At a price point that competes directly with the handsome BMW X5, while looking like it does, it isn’t hard to see why it will remain rare. However, simply by its oddity does it stand out. When was the last time you bothered giving an X5 a second glance? You will definitely be staring at this one.

Once again “defining a brand new segment” which didn’t need defining, BMW has announced the arrival of the all-new 2010 5-Series Gran Turismo in the UAE, at some press conference in Abu Dhabi last week. An embodiment of the premium manufacturer’s commitment to misdirected innovation, the BMW Gran Turismo combines the characteristic features of a “prestigious sedan, the functionality and space of an SAV and elements of a traditional grand touring car.”

BMW is once again forcefully defining a brand-new segment in the car market, with the all-new BMW 5-Series Gran Turismo. Finally launched in production form after teasing and horrifying the public with a similar concept a few months ago, the 5-Series GT aims to be combine the features of a “prestige saloon, a highly-versatile Sports Activity Vehicle, and a classic Gran Turismo in brand-new, unprecedented style.” Only, in this case, their idea of “unprecedented style” is a hatchback with a tall roof.
