This just seems like a missed opportunity for BMW. The GT is designed to fill a market niche the size of the a thimble. Based on the comments here, people aren't cross-shopping it against other makes, they're cross-shopping it against X-cars and other variations of the F3x.
Since the Bangle era cars, BMW have lost their ability to produce elegant and timeless designs cars like the e24, e34, and e46. A 5-door hatch design CAN work... just look at the A7. Alas, BMW's interpretation looks over-designed and fussy.
Between the confusing product proliferation, fussy designs, egregious pricing, and decreasing levels of driver involvement, I have to wonder if BMW will become the rich man's version of the Camry.
