the volumes do kind of make sense, but not with smaller wheels - this thing's gonna have to be sitting on something like 24s to look proper, probably... but as much as I hated it from the get-go, I have to admit, it is growing on me...

I still can't figure out the target market for the GT...
I was hoping that GT would be BMW's reply to CLS, classy Passat CC, perhaps to upcoming Panamera, future A7... etc
and instead of being sleek, sporty and low - it's big, boxy and looks like designed by IKEA...
And one would think that X6 was already crazy enough...

Yeah, really difficult to say which segment it will fit into. People in need of a SUV will buy the X5/X6 and people in need of a wagon will go for the F11. Who will buy this.............
