To make the GT's basically like the saloons with a swoopier roof would have meant style before substance, and that would have rendered them pointless.

The GT's are about practicality, not about being sporty. The Audi A7 is only a tiny bit more spacious than a 6GC, the 5GT is alot more spacious than an A7. If you want style, buy a Gran Coupe, if you want comfort and space, buy a GT... it really is as simple as that.
Good points, cheers! But it's still ugly as sin in my opinion. BMW could of made it look better looking at least. Someone should poll it, have money on 70% or more saying it's uglier than it needs to be.
