A car sporty but spacious. Luxurious, but nothing conservative. It has a big trunk, but keeps away from sedans or vans - it is a hatch. Still can not know if the formula will find the yearnings and portfolio of large number of consumers, but the case is that there is a car that meets the requirements unorthodox: the BMW 535i GT.

Seen from the front, he does not deny the family, the Series 5 - which includes sedans, wagons like the 550i and the Touring, not yet offered in Brazil - but very different from the others. The front grille is larger than the sedan, as well as the headlights, but the side and rear he shows his best side iconoclast.

The doors do not have the columns of glass and rear hatch reminds of a more truncated the back, with shorter rear overhang, which by falling ceiling accentuated after column B, according to the most coupes.

The lid of the trunk also contributes to its jeitão different GT: it opens partially (only your lower half), and shopping for small objects, or entirely, to bags. And therein lies suitcase: are 590 liters of capacity, more than in many turkeys. Inside, the rebellion is present in the rear seat, which can be tripartite. Instead of the traditional ratio 40/60, the GT has benches with 40/20/40 split, because the core of the backrest can be lowered independently.

The problem is that GT pioneering many of their solutions are not necessarily the best. The doors without column, although fine, they are difficult to close, requiring more strength (even with glasses lowered slightly to reduce the pressure).

The large columns of the trunk lid, which has electric opening, make the rear guard too small, which impairs visibility, sin which is neutralized by the presence of camera on the back - which explains the note of the assessment of visibility Cesvi in our test plug. The fault in this case is not only the speakers but also stylish coupe roof.

The rear seat tripartite, in turn, makes the seat for the occupant third uninviting. About one risks the post suffers from lack of space and discomfort, since the central part of the seat is harder and anatomical nothing.

With wheelbase of 3.07 meters, higher than the sedan at 10 cm, which is not lacking in the BMW GT is inner space. Passengers who use the spaces right rear seat (the ends) can stretch your legs even with someone over 1.80 meters at the wheel, as if stepping on the brakes. Especially if the driver is exaggerating the accelerator, which in the 5 Series GT, it is easy to happen.

Despite big guy (5 meters long and 1.56 high) and heavy (1940 kg), the GT has acceleration numbers of small cars and light. It ranges from 0 to 100 km / h, according to our test in 6.8 seconds.

It is 1.1 seconds faster than the Honda Civic Si sedan of 4.49 meters and 1322 kg. One of the secrets to achievement is the N55 engine, six-cylinder and 3-liter BMW in the traditional setting, but with a new ingredient: turbo double entry, called Twin Scroll, simpler and more reliable than the two small turbos the previous six-cylinder, the N54, wore. And the N54 was voted best engine of 2.5 to 3 liters in the world in 2010.

In 2011, the title should be the N55. With the help of the turbo, the engine generates 306 hp and a torque V8, with 40.8 mkgf. That's what the BMW 540i with a V8 4.4, could in 1998.

The other car is the secret exchange of ZF. It's automatic, which will leave many lovers of sports handling nosed until they know that she has eight gears and a smooth exchanges reminiscent of a CVT (continuously variable transmission), which gives no leaps because it has no gears to shift. Maybe they keep the nose twisted, but only out of habit. The exchange of this BMW leaves nothing to be desired for any audience.

Although it has significant numbers of performance, the GT has a more run-oriented comfort, even when the Dynamic Drive is set in Sport mode. In this configuration, the car is more responsive gear changes and stiffer suspension, but nothing erases the feeling that the car is too big to ride strong. Even with engine, suspension and enough to exchange it.

Considering the proposal, style and cost, the idea is not really that. Suffice it look sporty. And that has the same space and luxury that BMW usually provides, albeit in a different package beyond.
