Third, in the Washington DC and NYC Auto Shows, the GT was not on display. I even asked the guy who is in charge of the 3 series in NA about this, and he said everything is fine with the GT, but they only have so many slots to display all the BMWs. If it was a sales winner they would allocate a slot to the GT! What do you think about all this?

My personal theory is that BMW USA has been so traumatized by the 5GT that they are trying to ignore the existence of its little brother. Just look at their accessories web site. They, and the dealers, may also be worried that the 3GT will cannibalize 5 series sales.
