...by a fat pig!

wtf where they thinking when using a term so steeped in motorsports for something so antithetical to motorsports.

This is no GT -

and it deserves derision for just sullying that moniker.

Well all can change fast in BMW land.

The previous 6er was called 645ci, and later it became just 650i. Hopefully they change the name of the 5er GT too into something more appropriate...

Also, I never would call the Carrera GT a GT (lol), but a supercar. A Mercedes CL is a GT, and a BMW 6er coupe is a GT too. And a GT is best with big strong diesel engine.

Oh yep, why did the remove the ci moniker?.

Oh, there must have been some silly reason

It's a marketing thing, so Scott probably knows best....

Oh, but GT, in isolation, is typically used for coupes made for the grand travel. BMW thinks that the 5 GT is a new take on that classic badge. Maybe they're on to something, the previous "GT" in the lineup was the M6...

I already posted an article containg a rumor in the 1M thread,but I doubt it will happened considering such a short life cycle.
