Every car has there demographic, and afew can branch over those barriers. This is defiantly one of those cars. I have never gotten so many compliments from people of all ages. For me personally, this is my 3rd BMW. I've had a 750li and a 530i which were great cars in there own right , but this car has so many more usable features and functions. The ride is quiet and very good over bumps. If you change the setting into Sport , the car becomes a serious sports sedan, with quicker steering, and faster throttle response. The hatch gives the car much more functionality over a standard trunk. I have since traded in for a 2015 BMW X4 which is similar in that it's a hatch, and a real great car. But I have to tell you the 535 gt was a 7 series . It's exactly what the car was with a hatch. To me it was a practical 7 series. X4 is much sportier, amazing that it sits higher but handles like a sports car. Bmw gets copied on every car they make , and it always trickles down through every manufacture.

A 7 series with a 5 series price tag

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!

Nicest car I’ve ever owned

After nightmares with 3 Bentley’s and 3 Maseratis I settled into Mercedes as a brand for many years. Excruciating service problems ended that romance and I wanted to be practical but still have luxury. This was the answer. I got the 550 and every possible luxury upgrade. It puts Mercedes to shame. Even the S class. More comfortable, better handling and much more intuitive and meatier navigation and electronics control. 40000 miles and zero problems. I’m surprised BMW discontinued this model. It is possible to be all things to all people.

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.

Not pretty but very capable

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.
Great all around car

If you want the look, finish and interior of a seven series BMW, but the lighter handling and performance of a five series, this is the car. The headroom and spaciousness of this car beat all other BMWs and its competitors. With the large opening hatchback and the foldable rear seats you can actually get a lot of cargo in the vehicle if you need to. Getting the option of the sport tuned and adjustable suspension changes the ride in this car. I have driven the loaners that do not have the adjustable suspension and they feel like a cheaper vehicle. If I bought the car again, I would not get the night vision, but I would definitely get the adjustable suspension and premium seats. That combination makes this car incredibly comfortable to ride in.

The car is absolutely gorgeous. BMW knows how to capture the market with its beautiful design. The handling, interior and exterior design is flawless. I am glad going for a 5 series Gt as opposed to regular sedan for its aggressive looks. Can not say enough about it. By the way, it is a great family car.
5 series heaven

Bought a white M Sport 2017 535 GT with 13k miles for 46% of original sticker, I can’t believe it’s not theft. This is an awesome car in every way. I previously drive a 335 xdrive and an X5. Neither compare to the overall vault like quality of the GT. The 120” wheelbase is amazing for a car that’s under 200” in overall length. The Premium seats are the most adjustable I have experienced to date. The H-K sound system is nice and can’t imagine how the B&O system must sound. The hatch is super functional and easy to access a large SUV like rear boot area. All in all, this is a bargain and wanted to share my thoughts and happiness. After driving for 5,000 miles my love for this version of the beemer lineup has deepened. I switched out the run-flats for Continental non-run-flats that were a size up in width and slightly larger in OD. The stance of the car is greatly improved as is the ride and performance. I also de-badged all but the “GT” which really cleans up the rear hatch area. Last comment — the “Sport” mode is killer....Changes shift patterns and turbo boost enough for the car to drive like a sports sedan. Can’t imagine what the 550 would be like in sport mode!
