2015 BMW 550 Gran Turismo

Keyless ignition is now standard, and the Modern design line has been dropped. Otherwise, the 550 Gran Turismo is unchanged.

The 550 Gran Turismo carries a 4.4-liter turbocharged V8 with 445 horsepower, paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. BMW’s xDrive all-wheel drive system is available in place of the standard rear-drive setup. The V8 features an automatic stop-start function for enhanced efficiency.

As expected, the Gran Turismo is lavishly equipped from the start with features like leather seating with 20-way power in front and driver memory, a hands-free power liftgate, Bluetooth phone and audio, a panoramic sunroof, front and rear parking sensors, navigation, HD radio and adaptive xenon headlamps. You also get a full complement of integrated smartphone apps to assist with navigation and communications.

The Gran Turismo is available in two optional design lines: Luxury and M Sport. Luxury models come with multi-spoke 19- or 20-inch wheels, your choice of wood interior trim, LED foglamps and specific seat stitching. The M Sport gets an aerodynamic body kit, V-spoke wheels, black exterior trim and a higher top speed limiter.

Beyond all that, you can customize your Gran Turismo with several option packages.

• The Executive package adds automatic soft-close doors, a head-up display, ceramic controls, satellite radio, and your choice of a Harman Kardon or Bang & Olufsen surround-sound system.
• The Cold Weather package provides heated front and rear seats and a heated steering wheel.
• Safety is the focus of the Driver Assistance Plus package, which includes blind spot monitoring, lane departure warning, a surround-view camera system and collision mitigation with pedestrian detection.
• The Dynamic Handling package firm up the suspension with adaptive dampers and stabilizer bars.
• Finally, you can get ventilated and massaging front seats with the Luxury Seating package.
