BMW 6GT Launch Story | The 5GT Successor: A Beautiful Model That's Shed Its Ugliness and Name
GT stands for Gran Turismo. Strictly speaking, it's a bit like a wagon-style shooting brake. It's like an estate car in Mercedes-Benz. It's a GT, literally a car that travels long distances with ample power. In Korea, GTs have a high-performance image, like the K5 GT. Of course, they're high-performance, but they're also meant for long-distance travel. Trunk space is crucial, and that's why they inevitably end up like wagons. A prime example is the Ferrari FF. There are cars like that, too. Especially the E63 Estate. I found it odd that such a car made such an exhaust noise.
That type of car is a GT. The BMW GT is a bit unique. It felt like a car with a different concept from other wagons or shooting brakes. My first impression was that it was particularly ugly. It's not only ugly, but also expensive. The 5GT started at around 80 million won. The current 6GT starts at around 80 million won. That's why
it's quite expensive, but the biggest complaint from GT owners is
that they don't see it as expensive.
Don't see it as too expensive.
It's really ugly.
It's just a little squat.
I recently bought a used 5GT for 12 million won.
It was a 2011 model.
I knew the GT was a good family car,
but after driving it around, even though it was used and had only 180,000 km on it,
I love it.
First of all, I know the 5GT uses a chassis based on the 7 Series.
So, the living space is great.
The back seat is so roomy.
I bought a used 5GT, but it was ugly.
My baby's mom immediately asked why I bought it.
But compared to the 5GT, the 6GT
has become much sleeker.
The lines are cleaner.
Come to think of it, there's that one too.
The first-generation Panamera also came out with this style at first.
I've never seen a car as ugly as that. I saw it.
That car got sleeker in the second generation.
BMWs, in particular, have a unique and distinctive GT class.
GT owners are incredibly proud, and many people say they're "GT-shy."
Right? It must be frustrating.
Because others don't recognize it.
If you add a few options, it'll cost 100 million won.
So, this is 100 million won?
The GT class isn't cheap.
The BMW GT uses a chassis from a high-end car, so it's spacious,
and it's loaded with options.
They've packed it with everything.
I was shocked when I saw the 2011 5GT.
It has surround-view cameras,
and electric headrests!
And how much did you pay for this car?
I think I paid 77 million won.
So, that's a discount of about 10 million won? So, it's not that cheap.
Even if you get a discount and pay 70 million won,
it's not a cheap car.
And before, many people were hesitant because it was so ugly.
But with the 6GT, it's gotten considerably prettier.
I was curious about this too.
This is a car for dads.
Why would a friend who's not even a dad drive this car?
The back seat is barely used.
So
and I'm not married, I'm single.
I was originally looking at the Volvo XC90, BMW X5, and Audi Q7.
I test drove all three.
And then I saw the new 6GT being released on the road.
If you look at the back, the taillights have a bit of a three-dimensional effect.
They're shaped like a seagull.
That's what makes it pretty.
"If you're single, it's a bit of a mismatch."
I always wondered, "Is that you?"
"Like women with imaginary pregnancies, imaginary families, stuff like that.
"Isn't it because our two babies are riding in the back?"
First, if you look at the front, it looks like a typical 5 Series. It doesn't have the laser lights. The lasers are missing because it's a lower grade. You can think of it as just the M Package in the base trim. This is the model with the M Package, so there's definitely a big difference between BMWs with and without the M Package. And this one has this:
Soft closing.
If you take a quick look at the rear seats,
"Do the rear seats move forward and backward?"
"Not forward and backward.
"Only the backrest angle can be adjusted."
"It moves like that."
"That's great. It's electric."
"Oh, the whole thing moves?"
"That looks like a higher-end model."
"There's no full markings here.
"Is this under the seat?
"Is it manual?
"There's nothing there?
"No, there's nothing under the seat.
"That's it.
"The 5GT has a movable seat for more trunk space, right?
"Huh?"
"I've had the 5GT for a week, but I still don't know." How does the 5GT move?
This one here folds.
Wow!!
Does it exist??
Oh, thank you for the great information.
Crazy!! (Sound of mind)
Oh, I bought this used, and honestly, I didn't know much about it.
What is this?
Yeah, I didn't know until now.
I'm just now...
So, why does the rear space look wider?
Oh, so the 6GT doesn't move.
Look at it now, the rear seats look narrower.
It could be because the 6GT has thicker seats,
but this is completely off-putting...?
12 million won
76 million won
These days, GTs are popular even used, for things like car camping.
And in the case of the 4WD model, many people also use it to tow caravans.
It's powerful, and the chassis is solid, like a 7 Series.
Yes, I bought it for 12 million won, main...
