EXCLUSIVE: Not Crazy About The Design Of The New BMW GT? Then You Haven't Seen It In Person Or The Right Color!

It's always hard to get used to something that is new.

We are creatures of habit and most of the time we like the familiar.

So when I first saw the photos of the BMW 5-Series GT Turismo and saw it on the stand in Geneva, I can't lie...I thought it looked odd and had weird proportions.

So when I was invited on a recent BMW press trip and they told us we would be seeing it on our visit to the Spartanburg factory, my initial thoughts were...ok, this is not the BMW for me and how do I tell you all (in a nice way) that they blew it on this one.

Thoughts like:

You can't win them all.
They still have plenty of great cars so this one won't hurt them.
Just because it's not for me, maybe it is for someone else?
People will buy anything if that logo is on it

Then i saw it up close and personal in other colors than the hideous copper/gold color that was on their stand in Geneva.

And the first thought that raced in my head was...is this the SAME car I saw in Geneva and in the press photos?

Can't be.

The one at the auto show didn't look THIS good.











So I'm making this guarantee to you.

When you see the GT in person in colors like Black and Space Grey your opinion will TOTALLY change and you will think it's cool, sexy and has great road presence.

REALLY.

And not just the outside.

When you sit in it you will find out the interior is NICER than the new 7.

I loved it in the two-tone interior schemes...really nice.

Nicer than any current Audi on the market.

It could also have the best back seat of any car I've been in outside of the Maybach recliners.

Plus, you'll be extremely jealous your BMW doesn't have the factory LED Corona Rings (angel eyes).

Now don't get me wrong, the GT is not as nice looking or a sexy as an X6, but it is real nice.

My opinion of it has TOTALLY changed.

So I suggest you wait till you see it in person or on the road before you make your final judgement.

For now look at the exclusive photos I got of these protoype GT's in South Carolina.
