Development continues on the upcoming F34 3 Series GT (Gran Turismo) model, which BMW is testing concurrently with the other future F3x variants - the F32 coupe, F31 touring.

We've now spied the GT model with its trunk/tailgate open, revealing its exact trunk line. These photos also confirm what we've said earlier - that the 3 series GT will feature a simple hatch function rather than the twin trunk arrangement on the 5er GT.

We also get some more looks at the F34's retractable spoiler, the first on a production BMW. As seen in the older photos we've reposted below, when the spoiler is deployed, we can see the trunk cutout for it to slot into when retracted, for a flat subtle look. Expect this spoiler spoiler to deploy at higher speeds to increase downforce.

The overall apperance of the 3 series GT will follow the 5 series GT in having some independent styling from the other 3 series variants. Expect the 3 Series Gran Turismo to debut sometime in 2013 and in both gasoline and diesel models.
