Few years ago when BMW launched the X3, the smaller version of the X5, it got peoples' attention because it was a small family off-roader, but things got a bit different when several car programs and magazines tried it, as Top Gear declared that to buy an X3, you have to be the kind of mentally ill person that wakes up in the morning thinking he's an onion... and they had a point, because for the same money, there's the 5-series estate which is faster, more economical, a lot more comfortable and a bit more beautiful. I doesn't go off-road, but neither can the X3, anyway.
Last summer, BMW lauched another off-road car, the X6 (above),which not only drives like a normal car like the X3, but looks like a normal car. It didn't get much attention and didn't do well with Top gear, either. So now, as expected, BMW launched the car which you can buy instead of the X6, it's another 5-series, called the 5-series GT (picture below). It is very similar to the X6 but it's more practical: it has the rear legroom of a 7-series, a headroom of an X5 and the trunk's door opens like the Skoda Superb !
It has the normal variety of engines of the 5-series, costs a bit more and looks a bit better. So, it's the perfect choice for not buying the X6.
