By mere six and eight cylinders to offer BMW deliberately chose the 5-series GT high in the market. Presumably this is not the desired sales result, because now there is the model with four-cylinder, called 520d. Other news is that the GT-530d has become stronger and more fuel efficient V8 550i GT contains.
The 184 bhp 520d have been around for some time in the BMW 5-Series Sedan and Touring and now finds its way to the 5-series Grand Turismo.

There is also news about the 550i GT. That gets from today the decision on the new V8 from the recently face lifted 7-series. The 450-hp 4.4-liter eight-cylinder is considerably cheaper and cleaner than its predecessor, so the price of the model decreases dramatically. Now costs the 550i GT € 98,000, which is a solid 12-grand less than before.
