We’re still not sure if the two-door 3-Series will be called a 4-Series or not, but the car you see in our brand new spyshots is definitely a 3-Series four-door. Yet this isn’t your average 3er, because its actually the first version to get the Gran Turismo designation.
Much of the camouflaged body is familiar to us from the F30 3-Series sedan, but the whole back end has been changed. As you can see from the prototype stages of both the exhaust and the headlights, these are early times for the 3-Series GT. Some of you might complain about the looks, but we think its a good shape, much more refined than the G-Series with a camel hump at the back.
In addition to this, the 3-series GT will offer a simple hatch function rather than the twin trunk arrangement on the 5-Series GT. But we can’t be sure that this is a production shape we are seeing, as the car will be seen first as a pre-vision concept, and only then put into production.
As for the engine range, you can be sure it will be made up of turbocharged petrol and diesel units. Transmission choices should include a six-speed manual and optional eight-speed automatic across the engine range. Rumor has it that BMW is already working on the ActiveHybrid version of the 3er GT, but we can’t be sure about an M version.
