I'm assuming the "GT" model must be more appealing in European markets than it is here. Its probably intended as a spacious car intended for a comfy ride over congested roads. Its definitely lacks the sporting styling that many BMW buyers are traditionally attracted to.
I think it may be mistake for BMW to offer it in this market. I expect that 99% of Australian buyers would prefer the higher driving position and aggressive looks of the X5, while the other 1% would be better served by the 5 series wagon.
