An M version of the 5-series GT has been ruled out by BMW.
The performance badge has recently found its way onto the X5 and X6 SUVs in an expansion of the brand, but the 5-series GT will not be getting the same treatment.
A company source told Autocar there are no plans for a hot GT, and the range topper will remain the twin-turbo V8 550i.
BMW has previously said that an M version of the new BMW Z4 will not be made.
