My dealer friends and managers absolutely hate that car. Put it waaay back in their lots when they've had them around..nobody buys them or likes them they say over say a regular 5 series or a 6 and the ones that do go for the X5 or even X6 they say. Am curious did they give you a good/fair trade price?
1. It was a lease
Followed 2 previous 5 series wagons which were no longer available in the US market
2. Needed something big enough to move 2 kids in & out of college ( one of them a ice hockey goalie You know how big that bag is????)
3. The GT actually had greater luggage space than the 535 ix wagon
4. It drove better than the wagon, especially in New England winters. (Ski house in Vt. )
5. THEN THEY GRADUATED !!!!

DADDY GOT HIS CONVERTIBLE.
