The 5-Series GT model has a 4.4L duel-turbo V8 engine that is able to burst out 400 hp of power and 585 Nm of torque under its hood, which is just as the 750. Its high torque guarantees the model's excellent drag performance – 5.4 seconds' 0 – 100 Km .

On the domestic GT model, we see varieties of sport assistance technologies, among which the one of greatest importance is its Dynamic Driving Control (DDC) system. The system totally changes the car's driving – shift response, throttle response, suspension, as well as the force feed. If you turn the car into Sport Plus mode, a speed of 0 – 100 Km ca be reached in 6.3 seconds.

The compliments to the new BMW 5-Series are beyond words. You won't feel like you are driving a five-meter-long sedan for its handling is just as agile as the 3-Series. The steel wheel feels heavy but acute, and the response is positive. The stable car back gives you sufficient time to respond to the road.
The active response of the engine without turbo lag and the linear power output make the car more like a NA model. The 8-Speed AT transmission performs perfectly – the top gear comes very quickly, and the low gear appears as soon as you need power. And the most exciting thing is that the 306 hp power bursts out stably while the throttle pedal is going down – it seems inexhaustible.
