Total worldwide units sold of 5er Gran Turismo stand at over 20,000, that is in under a year and for a low volume car , that is significant.
The car is popular in Europe and surprisingly there is a demand for the car in China.
This sounds great, but without numbers for NA, your statement doesn't hold much weight...example, 5er Touring sold 1000 units over two years and they sold 2000 5GT this year...that's not exactly saying much considering BMW plans to sell 1.4 Million cars this year, of which 250,000+ 5 series. So 20,000 WW 5GT units represents less than 10% of 5er's and less than 1% of WW BMW units.
