We think BMW is cool which is why we've got a BMW special here. The reason being they're sticking to their original plans and haven't shelved or put away any of their future cars. They're our hero!
BMW, despite recession and fall in sales has confirmed it will go ahead with the launch of the X1, 5 Series GT on June 23rd at the Leipzig plant. It will soon be followed by the hybrid versions of the odd-looking X6 and extremely stylish 7 Series, both newcomers in India.
The BMW X1 -
“The X1 and the 5 Series Gran Turismo will come onto the markets towards the end of the year”
The BMW X1 will be the smallest SUV in the range which has the X5 and X3. To make room for the X1, the future X3 has grown a little. Petrol and diesel variants will be available from the time of launch. BMW might show the production model at the Frankfurt show later in the year.

BMW 5 Series GT -
The BMW 5 Series GT concept drew a lot of attention for its fairly elegant looks and the commendable idea of a 7 Series inside and 5 Series outside. The road-going model will arrive by the end of this year. The sweet spots of the GT should be its twin-door boot lid (Can be operated as a hatch or a sedan) and the rear bucket seats, offering more sitting space than a 7 Series.
