so the f34 would be yet another step between the f31 and the x3. That's the niche of the niche.
This is just my personal opinion, but i'd rather have bmw spend the development costs for the f34 in improving their electric steering system across the entire range instead.

Yes, niche of a niche, but that's the flexibility (beauty?) of the F3x platform architecture. Not much more developmental cost required to expand the model line.
By the way.. with VSS/Adaptive M suspension, the steering and car control is quite nice.

If you want the leg room, get a 5 series! The 3GT is basically a 5 wagon with less cargo space, right? is there really a market for that? maybe around the world but not in the US, don't bring this crap here, bring the M Performance cars here.

The 5 series drives like a boat. Certainly the 3GT will handle better and feel more nimble.
