Product Overview

BMW 5 Series Gran Turismo F07 LCI is the facelifted version of the F07, which itself is based on the F10 executive sedan. In production from 2013 to 2017, it was available with a range of inline-4, inline-6, and V8 engines that displaced 2.0 to 4.4 liters.
Owners will probably be attracted to the ever-more-powerful N63 V8 the most. However, even though BMW made efforts to address the initial reliability issues, this engine remained problematic during the production run of the F07 LCI. The N55 turbo I6, in contrast, was improved and reasonably reliable at this point.
BMW has made a good effort in aerodynamics, with a decent 0.28 coefficient of drag to show for it. The F07 LCI also comes with a high towing capacity.
Drivers who appreciate handling will be pleased to know that the 5 Series Gran Turismo F07 LCI comes with double-wishbone + multi-link suspensions. Unfortunately, the vehicle's questionable design makes it hardly a choice for those with any enthusiasm for driving.
