The characteristic look of the rows of lights with their harmonious, consistent
illumination is a further unmistakable sign of BMW design ensuring a high recall
value in road traffic.
The rear light clusters are connected to one another by a band of chrome
continuing from the waistline at the side all the way into the line between the
rear lights, thus again emphasising the sheer width of the rear end.
Interior design underlining the generous feeling of space.
Generous dimensions and lots of freedom for all occupants are the characteris-
tic features of the interior in the BMW 5 Series Gran Turismo.
This unique feeling of space is further enhanced by the interior shapes and the
overall interior design of the car, the colour scheme and the choice of materials.
The horizontal breakdown of the dashboard and the door panels as well as the
general flow of surfaces further enhance this strong impression. The large side
windows, finally, strongly accentuate the bright and generous ambience within
the car together with the optional panorama glass roof previously only available
in the BMW 5 Series Touring and the BMW X models.
As an option the BMW 5 Series Gran Turismo comes with two single comfort
seats at the rear. On this configuration available as an alternative to the three-
piece rear-seat bench featured as standard a centre console separates the
two single seats, accommodating cupholders and a storage box as well as
other facilities.
Optimum visibility and comfortable entry thanks to the slightly
elevated seating position.
On the front seats both the driver and passenger benefit from the slightly
elevated seating position, this so-called Semi-Command position offering an
optimised overview of traffic conditions and the area around the car. In addition,
the configuration specially developed for the BMW 5 Series Gran Turismo
allows comfortable and very ergonomic access to both the front and rear
seats alike.
In the design and layout of the cockpit the structure of horizontally arranged,
cascade-like, layered surface areas in different materials and colours strongly
emphasises the width of the car. The displays and control elements are clearly
separated from one another and are grouped according to their specific
functions. Information and control units relevant to the driver are on the side of
the cockpit actually facing the driver, while all displays, controls and switches
serving to operate comfort functions are in the middle of the dashboard.
