Seems like a well-balanced and thoughtful review.
The 3GT fits a nice spot for those who'd like the space of an X3, but don't care for the higher center of gravity, nor the superfluous (for many) xDrive. |

With the 3-series Touring and X1 occupying such similar spaces, I don't see a very big market for this car. I think that BMW is pushing the whole "Gran Turismo" line up too hard.

F31 doesn't have any more rear legroom than my F30... I have two kids in car seats, that extra 3" of legroom is the difference between several swear words or none. Add even more rear cargo area than the F31, and this thing definitely has my attention.

Its just a silly concept for silly people I guess. For people that value form over function. |

I don't know if the G/T form will catch on, there have been mixed receptions for a while. Cars like the Pontiac Aztec were hated, the hatchback Honda accords got mixed reviews, the BMW G/T 5er got mixed reviews, and now the 3 series G/T is getting mixed reviews. So don't know if it will catch on or not but I can see why BMW is pushing it, it makes sense from a business perspective. |

I'm in agreement with you. I'll take a close look at the GT

It looks like it's too tall, not a fan.

I don't know why BMW is launching this set of ugly GT cars instead of focusing on building a supercar! Please BMW, build a supercar. There are people in need for such a thing.

I have 3 kids, so even though this is not the best-looking BMW, I am also interested. Does anyone know if the back seat is wider too? I believe the GT is slightly wider, but I'm not sure what the end result is in the back. I have been able to squeeze in 3 front-facing seats/boosters in the back of the sedan, but it was a pain to get them in. Wondering if it will be easier in the GT. I had moved away from the 3-series, and have been looking at the 5 as well as the Lexus GS, but the GT has piqued my interest. Also, did I read that it will start reaching dealerships this summer? Do we have a better idea of when exactly?
