New 3 series GT.....???
Was reading an article in Autocar about the spec of the 3 GT. Huge car.......2" higher seats than 3 Saloon, big hatch and extra long wheelbase.
Surely going to steal many 5 series sales? What's your thoughts? Anyone interested in buying one? |

Too long.
I don't need all that rear leg room ! Also quite expensive. Obviously more expensive than touring , which in turn is more expensive than the saloon ! |

Got the mag. It's the rump I cannot abide with. Somehow it looks a bit of an abortion to these jaded eyes. The F30 is big enough for me, so no, not in my consideration. It will go down a bomb in the US of A, possibly.

Yes weird that they haven't launched a 330D yet. Would have thought that would be the engine of choice.

Those gills behind the front wheel arches look completely out of place - like a cheap attempt to make the car stand out

3-series 3GT: ... 4824 length, 1828 width, (2047 mirrors) 2920 wheelbase, 1465 front interior width. 5-series touring: 4907 length, 1860 width, (2094 mirrors) 2968 wheelbase, 1518 front interior width. The 3GT was the car I was very tempted to wait for, I quite like the way it has turned out, but not disappointed I proceeded with a 5-series touring. Plus a decent 3GT spec' is going to be eye watering. HighlandPete |

On second looks I was starting to think it didn't look so silly but then saw this thread which has more pics and comparisons.
http://www.f30post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=803843 I think it's the pics of it side by side where it looks so much taller that reminded me that I disliked it. But I disliked the 5GT too. Obviously it's all personal taste

Better looks than 5GT.
But as I do not need extra back seat legroom and height slightly weakens hahttp://www.f30post.com/forums/images/smilies/thumbdown.gifndling, my eventual F30 series order will be a F31 touring |

The nose looks likes it's off another, much smaller car.
It seems to lack any sense of dimensional proportion.
