BMW 550 Gran Turismo Coming to Georgia

BMW of Macon Georgia, one of the region’s leading BMW dealerships, today announced it will debut the 2010 BMW Gran Turismo 550i, the newest addition to BMW’s luxury performance vehicles, this fall.

BMW of Macon will showcase the all new Gran Turismo, a vehicle that combines the looks and appearance of a sporty BMW sedan, a modern Sports Activity Vehicle, and a classic Gran Turismo.

First applied by Italian carmakers in the 1950s, Gran Turismo or “grand touring,” combines the performance, handling, and style of a two-seat sport car with luxurious amenities and luggage room for each occupant. The BMW 5 Series Gran Turismo is a contemporary interpretation of the classic touring sports car.

“Drivers who are seeking a dynamic driving experience, first-class ambience, the benefits of a flexible interior and fuel-efficiency will find it in this remarkably stylish and convenient vehicle,” said Scott Smith, general sales manager, BMW of Macon.  “The world’s most successful manufacturer of premium cars has once again demonstrated its ability to develop an innovative vehicle for drivers with an active lifestyle that want a combination of luxury and versatility,” added Smith.

The 5 Series Gran Turismo comes with a functional “bi-modal” trunk system, which allows access to the luggage compartment via either a traditional trunk opening or a large hatchback. The Gran Turismo will also come standard with a dual-panel panoramic sunroof, which comprises about 55 percent of the roof’s area. Additional unique features include a spacious interior, ergonomic access to all seats, slightly elevated seat positions, adjustable rear seats and the option to fold down the rear seats.
