3 Series GT: Beauty in real life

tbensous · 03-26-2013, 04:01 PM

In this video, I think the 3 GT is actually beautiful and looks much more premimum/high end/special than the regular 3... It looks much better than on photos, which don't do it justice I think.

Really nice... Impressed.

no

Falafel Combo · 03-27-2013, 09:52 PM

I like it. A lot. In a lot of ways, this is the perfect overall 3 series (for me). Except they made it longer, taller and much heavier than a 3 series should ever be.

A repackaged, rebadged 5GT?

Looks nice enough.

Is the rear deck spoiler voice activated? It looked that way and the reviewer was clearly intrigued by it.

KneeDragr · 03-28-2013, 09:49 AM

I guess its in the eye of the beholder, it looks like an eyesore to me.

smallseafishie · 03-28-2013, 10:05 AM

That thing looks hideous.

If BMW offers this in RWD but the F31 only in AWD for the F31 for the USA market...

No...of course not, silly. LOL

But if you, like I don't speak the reviewer's language and turn off the sound, it looks like it's going up and down as he's talking and gesturing about it. Since the car's not moving, it looks to be activated by something in addition to motion.

Yes!

I love it, think it looks great, my Msport LCI e92 335xi is fun but not practical, this thing looks like it has performance, practicality etc...could drive this baby into the mountains for some camping etc... I'm getting tired of baby'ng my e92 everywhere we go and having to take my wife's jeep instead ....LOVE IT!

ghettodefendant · 04-03-2013, 06:00 PM

I'm lucky enough to be in NY right now and went to the autoshow where this is being shown in person. It looks pretty cool IRL. Much nicer to look at than the 5GT...

Roki_014 · 04-03-2013, 06:07 PM

prolly the lci will get the spoiler

dan99 · 04-03-2013, 11:01 PM

It appears that US cars won't get the M fender badges.

infinitekidM2C · 04-04-2013, 03:48 PM

ive seen it enough times in person to conclude its one of the most hideous bmw's ever designed

J1n · 04-04-2013, 11:22 PM

I rather get an X3/5
