Since the new BMW 5 Series has been grabbing headlines left and right it’s about time BMW made it easy for you to buy your own.

In case you are planning on making that move, BMW’s USA site now features a car configurator specifically purposed in letting you get yourself the 550i or the 535i you want and the toys you deem necessary on either of them.

In case you’re wondering why BMW would only let you spec up the 550i and 535i it’s because these are the only models available in America at the moment so it would be foolish to let you configurate any others.

As a reminder, underneath the trim levels, optional extras and so on you still get two massive debates to yourself.

Do you need the 4.4L twin-turbo V8 giving you 400 horsepower the 550i has to offer or will you settle for the 3.0L twin-scroll turbocharged inline six engine that produces 300 horsepower. There is a bit of a price gap between the two but to be honest both are great picks.

Another area where you might be unsure is this; Do you want the typical sedan or are you going to go for the GT version?

Difficult decisions, good thing the online configurator is now available, right?

Apparently, BMW wants to release a 3 Series model that will look similar to BMW 535i Gran Turismo. This is about to happen in 2011. The new model of BMW 3 Series will be named “BMW 335i Gran Turismo”. The details that I will give you about 2011 BMW 3 Series Gran Turismo will be approximated.

There are rumors that there will be 2 versions of 2011 BMW 3 Series Gran Turismo: a four seat version and a five seat version. I wrote a lot to you on this blog about the new 2010 BMW 5 Series Gran Turismo that will go into production next year, so for more details just search on this blog.

The price of 2011 BMW 335i Gran Turismo will be between 3 Series and 5 Series. It will pass a lot of time until I will know the price exactly; it will be probably with few months until the release. I think this design is not suitable for a 3 Series but the good fact will be that you will get some cool things from 2010 BMW 535i Gran Turismo at a smaller price. The pictures from this post are just with 2010 BMW 535i Gran Turismo. Pictures with 2011 BMW 3 Series Gran Turismo will be posted here as soon as they will appear.

BMW 535i GT’s 3.0 liter 6 cylinder engine will develop 307 hp. The standard transmission of this car is the automatic gearbox with 8 speeds. BMW 535i GT accelerates from 0 mph to 62 mph in 6.3 seconds. The fuel economy is estimated at 26 mpg for BMW 535i GT.

The beautiful thing at BMW 525i is the inside. At the first look you will see just a clean, simple and cute interior but if you watch closely, you notice that there are much more details that you would ever expect. When the sun goes down, you will see immediately lots of details with abundant interior lights.

If you like the BMW X6’s aspect but you also prefer a small car, this would be the perfect choice because the base of BMW 535i GT’s design is the BMW X6. There are also many things that would make you love more this car. The combination between design and power is great; now we wait to see some prices.

A reader of Carscoop captured some pictures of formidable BMW 5 Series GT which will be officially launched at Frankfurt Motor Show this year. After I saw these pictures, I was surprised how the car looks so aggressive and sportier, but it’s still a BMW.

It seems that BMW 5 Series GT is equipped with a exterior sportpackage, the color is excellent, and then see how the BMW logo is hidden. It seems one of the best BMW cars ever built.

BMW 5 Series GT enters the market at the end of this year and will go in three variants: BMW 530D GT (3.0 liter – 245hp), BMW 535i GT (306hp), respectively BMW 550i GT that will be equipped with a 4.4l V8 engine developing 407hp.
