$75,000 is a lot of money, my E61 535 has more room and cost less.
It may not be a V8 but it has tons of power, much more than my 4.4 X5 and consistently returns MPG of 20 plus.

Pretty sure that is not the case.

True for luggage capacity, true for number of passengers when the 5GT has the 4 seat configuration, not true for individual passenger space (legroom, headroom)

I was thinking he meant passenger room. True about the 4-seat config and trunk space (I guess), but what about the GT with the back seats folded down? Also, has a higher opening for larger boxes. Passenger room is much larger. Especially rear room. Larger than the seven in the back, right?

The rear head room is equivalent to E70 X5 and rear leg room is equivalent to F01 750i. I have seen it in person, sat inside and looks much better.

Rear passenger space in my E61 is fine and it seat three. I am not going to pay an extra $25,000 +/- for the occasional rear passenger.
