The BMW 5 Series Gran Turismo (F07), introduced in 2009 and produced until 2017, was a unique offering in the luxury car market. It sought to bridge the gap between the practicality of a station wagon and the spaciousness of an SUV, while maintaining the driving dynamics and luxury expected of a BMW. The 5 GT featured a distinctive sloping roofline that gave it a coupe-like profile, yet offered ample headroom for rear passengers. This innovative design also yielded a surprisingly large cargo space, easily rivaling that of traditional station wagons. Powertrain options ranged from efficient diesel engines to powerful petrol units, all paired with smooth-shifting automatic transmissions. The driving experience was characterized by its sporty handling, thanks to BMW's advanced chassis technology and rear-wheel drive setup. Inside, the cabin featured premium materials and a driver-focused cockpit, typical of BMWs, with a generous array of technology and comfort features.

However, the 5 GT faced criticism for its polarizing styling and its driving dynamics that, while still good, weren't as sharp as those of its traditional 5 Series sedan sibling. Moreover, the high roofline and sloping rear window led to compromises in rear visibility and passenger comfort. Despite these challenges, the 5 GT carved out a niche for itself as a unique and practical luxury vehicle for those who valued versatility and a touch of style. Its distinctive character made it a popular choice among those seeking a roomy and comfortable cruiser, while still maintaining the driving pleasure associated with the BMW brand. The 2012 model year continued to refine the 5 GT, with updates to the exterior styling, interior design, and technology features, further solidifying its position as a unique and intriguing option within the luxury car segment.
