Pros:
BMW 535i GT is on 7 platform and combines the best of 7 series (huge leg rooms), X5 (head room and utility) and X6 (style, up to each person's taste, a bit odd to me). 535i provides enough power to zoom to 60 around 6 seconds (similar to 550) but still manages to deliver amazing 19/28. I was out to buy 740i and the sales person introduced me with GT series, which feels exactly 7 series' interior front layout, more useful space and 15k cheaper. The most important, it fits into my garage. I think this is a trend setting product, as Audi roll out A7 which shares similar concept.
BTW, navi system is much user-friendly than previous version, with the largest screen ever seen in a car.
Cons:
I feel the run flat 19" tires are translating a bit too much road noise into the car, especially, when in sport mode.
iPod USB slot inside of glove box is not easily found and used.
Overall review:
I think you can not find any better car if you want to have a combination of performance, prestige, utility and economy.
BMW should do a better job to introduce this car, since none of my friends know its existance. But it's good for the current buyers, as BMW has to discount a bit to move GT. Good deal is out there!
