ABOUT THE 2017 BMW 535I GRAN TURISMO
The 2017 BMW 535i Gran Turismo is the six-cylinder model of the 5 Series Gran Turismo (F07), a five-door hatchback that blends the 5 Series saloon with a raised roofline and large tailgate. It uses the 3.0-litre turbocharged N55 inline-six with 300 hp and 300 lb-ft (400 Nm), an eight-speed automatic, and in this entry rear-wheel drive; an xDrive all-wheel-drive version was also offered.
The last F07
The 5 Series GT launched for 2010 and was facelifted for 2014. 2017 was its final model year: for 2018 BMW replaced it with the 6 Series Gran Turismo (G32), signalling a move to a sleeker, more upmarket positioning.
Practicality
The F07 sits on a longer wheelbase than the 5 Series saloon, giving generous rear legroom and a high seating position. Its distinctive two-piece tailgate can open as a small boot lid or as a full hatch, and the rear seats fold to create a large load area. It is heavier than the saloon, which affects performance and fuel use.
Buying one today
The N55 engine’s commonly reported weak points include oil leaks from the valve cover and oil filter housing gaskets, and electric water pump and thermostat failures. Many GTs have rear air suspension, which should be checked for leaks or uneven ride height, and the complex tailgate mechanism should work smoothly in both modes.
Rivals
The 535i GT had few direct rivals; the Audi A7 and Porsche Panamera offered similar hatchback practicality in sportier shapes.
