Wow, pretty nice car.
The seating is great in it -- I'm strongly considering picking one up.
Its got the new V8 Twin Turbo in it too.

It may drive like a dream....
but it's still just as weird looking as a bunch of the other new BMW stuff. Yes, have seen one in person and sat in it. Not for me.

The looks are not my cup of tea, but I am excited about the engine. I wonder what the tuners will be able to coax out of it.

I have pics of it, I'll post them tonight after work. I sat in it, it's comfortable, but I think the car is ugly.

I actually sat in the X6M, and... I like it.

I liked the comfort in the 550i GT better than the X6M, but the 550iGT is indeed ugly in the back when I went to see it at the dealership.

+1 on the GT, The designs coming out of BMW are not to hot. The e39 M5 and e92 M3 have been the only thing I liked in the past 9 years

E39 is still the classic look for the 5 series IMO, but the E90 has been growing on me.

Is the new 550i GT the same body as the latest 550I?

Or did they do a complete redesign? Would love to see some pics.
