Another BM not selling (part 2)

TMP · 10-13-2010, 09:58 AM

Just had a txt from Blue Bell, Wilmslow.
Delivery mileage 5 GT's - £11k off!!,

Better be quick.....anybody, no?

It's no wonder they are not selling, why pick the more costly, overweight, ugly sister

They are flipping minging. But I bet they're extremely practical.

Had one behind me last week for a while - looked like a Bangle-ised frog that had crashed into a lorry.

They certainly are not pretty. Noticed also a local dealer with a load of delivery miles ones for sale at what seemed a decent discount. Have seen some that look just about ok if a decent colour and no doubt they are practical but no thanks.

I've seen a few on the road now and, in my eyes, they are ghastly. A bloated, over-sized barn on wheels. What possessed BMW to add a GT badge to them ???

I'd even choose an X6 over them ...

No wonder they have to slash the prices.

Yea I heard from a dealer (not drugs

) that they had fell on their arse, app BM are going to re-launch the GT range in hope it will pick up. Ugly as sin car, BUT apparently a VERY nice drive, and stupid amounts of space inside.

I had one for a day on Tuesday. I agree that they're not the best to look at (and that's being mild) but as is said above, it WAS lovely and spacious inside and really did drive very well. I was pleasantly surprised.

I reckon "ze ubber Naff Niche" department will get shot! The GT Need more than a re-launch!

Seriously though, if you want practical you have the Touring.

pjs · 10-13-2010, 02:54 PM

In 6 months time my drive could well have a 5 GT and an X1.

Carrera RSR · 10-13-2010, 03:51 PM

The GT should have space spare, its based on the 7 series chassis. Its mahooosive!

Yep, plenty of space to cram in 4 (four) seats in the top models.

I suspect there were a fair few asking "are we sure about this one?" during the design phase.

Might be ugly, but with 11K off, it might appeal to a few more people over a 5...maybe
