Although the BMW 5-series GT that debuted in Geneva is officially being called a concept, BMW insiders says the production version will change very little The 5 Series GT is 5.9 inches longer and 3.7 inches higher than the existing 5 Series sedan. What does that add to the equation? Ease of entry, flexibility and a little extra cargo room according to BMW. An innovative, two tier liftback makes accessing the cargo area a little bit easier while the car�s long wheelbase opens up plenty of rear passenger space. The rear seats can be folded down to maximize cargo space, but when all is said and done, the BMW 5-Series GT has about the same cargo hauling potential as a 5-series wagon. When it appears in production form later this year, the 5 Series GT will most likely offer a range of inline six-cylinder and V8 engine options paired to either a six-speed manual or six speed automatic gearbox.
