You either love the looks of this car or you don't, (I love the way it looks) but there is never any question about the rest of this top of the line car. Built on the 7 series platform, it is a long car (2" shorter than the Mazda CX-9 seven seat) with an incredible amount of space inside. The back seats fit three adults easily. Or 3 car seats if you have kids. The handling is unmistakably BMW, and is perfectly balanced even with the additional height. The X6 has less room inside than the 535 GT. The hatchback is awesome for getting things in and out of the car, and affords much more flexibility for groceries, luggage, snowboards, trip to Home Depot.. All the things real life requires of you. The 535GT is similar in many respects to the Tesla P85 S, although I'd argue the BMW has a nicer interior and better design around things like arm rests, cup holders, etc. My favorite BMW to date!

I opted for the European Delivery option and collected my new 550i GT in April 2010. The pics don't do it justice -- this car is a beauty. With the big twin turbo V8 this was fun to drive in Europe. We hit 130 on the Autobahn (OK, we were not trying hard enough). Drove through Liechtenstein through the Alps into Italy and across highway 10 along the Med -- this was a James Bond drive with windy roads in and out of tunnels. Super cool! The car was great throughout the trip. I loaded this baby with options. The heads-up display is fantastic especially when trying to navigate unfamiliar territory -- it makes a wrong turn much less likely. The new iDrive is way better than before too.

I bought this car used on ebay motors from a Florida dealership. I knew nothing about this car before before I saw the auction. I fell in love at first sight. I did a little research, and bought the car the next day. I have had it since November 2016. Such a smooth ride, excellent transmission, engine, and suspension. This is the first German made car I have owned. and the quality is amazing compared to every "American made" car I have owned. With the proper maintenance, I expect this car to last a very long time. *UPDATE 95,000 miles on odometer and the engine seized. 1 week prior, I switched to 0W-30 motor oil as instructed by service provider at dealership. Coincidence? $16,000 repair bill.

While I never cared for the styling of this car I think it was probably the most comfortable car we ever owned. Seats were great with excellent visibility. Drove the car from LA to Philly and would do that trip again - only in another GT. I have to sneak up on it in a parking lot, but once inside it is remarkably comfortable. Just routine maintenance, no surprises. Rear seats down there is quite a bit of space to haul stuff. Not wanting a crossover or SUV this is a great compromise.

The reviews I read on this car did not seem to know what to make of it. The uniqueness of the vehicle caused magazine reviewers to give it a second take, but not rate it very high. I have been driving my 535 GT for a little over a month now and it is awsome. The adaptive suspension is for real. Pick the comfort setting and the engine, transmission and suspension change into a luxery vehicle. Push the sport button while driving and feel the suspension tighten and the tach jump as the engine and transmission have a change of attitude. The headroom is cavernous. I fit in very few cars due to my height, but this car is great. The 20 way adjustable seats are worth the option price.
