You know, the first time I've seen a pic of it I thought: UGLY.
But, seeing it in person, and seeing cars like the X6 and the Porsche Panamera having similar lines, it is not bad.
Inside it is made of high quality materials and it is pretty big.
I adjusted the front seat for me as if I would drive it, then went to th erear seat behing the drivers seat, and it wasn't bad at all. Not as a 7er L-version of course.
Opening the trunk is real fun.
So overall, I still want a 7series, but the GT is a very nice car, well put together and big enough for four people of my height (191cm = 6'3").

Nice site on the web in the GT Ice. 
The interior looks beautiful and I sure do hope that they carry it over to the F10, which I assume they will.
I am not in love with the exterior but my next car will almost certainly be a F10 and not the 5er GT. I am just not into tall cars.

Andre, you look like you've done something evil in that last pic 
Did you browse one of my "word of the day" threads or something? 
BTW thanks for the short report - the more I read about it, the more I think 5 GT is not that bad at all...

No, I was just laughing because I felt like a little kid, sitting there in a brand new car on a public fare and I'm browsing my beloved forum.
I really was amazed by the high quality of the car, and I hope it's like that on all of them, not just on the ones they use for display on fares.
A lot more space in the interior than I thought.
And those two seats in the rear are fun, just like in the 7.
Not a five seater...
Still I want a F01.
