BMW 3 Series Gran Turismo



The first official images with the upcoming 2013 BMW 3-Series GT have surfaced the Internet.
The more practical (yet less attractive) version of the 3-Series is about to make its official debut and most likely will be presented at next month's Geneva show. Continuing the trend started with the 5-Series GT, the smaller 3-Series GT will use the same engine as the regular 3-Series and will be available with both RWD and xDrive AWD systems.
The new model adopts a slightly raised seating position and comes with a two-tier rear hatch design which although looks a bit better than the one on the 5-Series GT, it's still not an attractive styling but at least it's more practical.

The trick is you take "BMW" emblems and stick them on Japanese cars

It makes perfect sense. The 5-series GT did so well that they want expand the GT product line.... NOT. I worked for BMW and this car was and still is DISMAL (5GT). This 3 Series GT has no purpose. If one wants a hatch then why not get a wagon? It's not like this one offers the same utility in a sexier package. It doesn't. What they should have done is make a 3 Series Gran Coupe. I think this 3GT will be another car that BMW will sweep under the rug over time. I think a 3GC is in the works anyway.
