Geneva 2013: BMW 3 Series GT (Gran Turismo) World Debut

Making its world debut at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show is the BMW 3 Series GT (Gran Turismo) [Official Thread], the newest variant to the F3x 3 Series model line. The 3 Series GT rounds out the current generation 3 Series lineup, with the next model spawning off the same platform to be the 4 Series Coupe (F32)

While the 3 Series GT improves upon the 5 Series GT's very unwieldy back end, we feel that the rear design could still have been sleeker and sportier. But, if that were the case, perhaps it would then infringe on (or overlap with) the upcoming 4 Series Gran Coupe's space. While the 3 Series GT's back end design could be prettier, the front fascia styling is attractive and adds some flare on top of the F30 sedan and F31's more basic look.

On display was an M Sport Package and a Modern Line 3 Series GT. Subjective opinions on styling aside, one thing was clear from our time spent at the display - hordes of the automotive press were interested in seeing the car's utility. We witnessed (and you can see in the photos) groups from other manufacturers piling into the GTs to test out their improved legroom, headroom, and cargo space.
