The 5 Series Gran Turismo is a 5-door fastback which began production in September 2009. Although sold as part of the 5 Series range, is suggested that the Gran Turismo chassis has more in common with the F01 7 Series.
The 5 Series GT was introduced as the BMW 5 Series Gran Turismo Concept at the 2009 Geneva Motor Show and the production version was unveiled at the 2009 International Motor Show Germany and sales began in the fourth quarter of 2009.
For the following G30 generation, the Gran Turismo models were moved to the 6 Series model range and renamed the G32 6 Series Gran Turismo.
