The BMW 5 SERIES GRAN TURISMO (2009-13) 535D 5DR GRAN TURISMO 3.0 DPF SS 313 EU5 SE AUTO8 is a large, premium five-door with a raised, coupe-like profile and a roomy hatchback layout. It sits between executive saloons and SUVs in the UK market, offering a more distinctive alternative to conventional family cars. With its powerful six-cylinder diesel engine and smooth automatic gearbox, the 535d is best suited to regular long-distance journeys, motorway commuters and families wanting generous space and relaxed performance. Its high driving position, comfortable cabin and flexible boot make it practical, while its size and running costs may be less appealing for tight city streets or budget-conscious drivers. Among rivals such as the Mercedes-Benz CLS and Audi A6, it blends saloon comfort with near-SUV versatility.
