I'm not a fan of any of the 'GT' versions of bmws, but I suspect I'm not their target audience

The target audience is the partially-sighted presumably

simon the pieman · 06-13-2017, 11:32 AM

I thought I read the GT's were being scrapped. Obviously that was just wishful thinking.

jnismith · 06-13-2017, 11:32 AM

I must say that is pretty shit, then all the GT's look pretty crap to me.

Just the 5GT name is being scrapped, and being replaced with 6GT name.

Get rid of one ugly mo fo and replace it with another.
My brother in law had a 3GT. Fecking horrible it was.
GC yes please.
GT = design team need a kick in the nuts.

UKF30 · 06-13-2017, 12:07 PM

Oh that's horrible as the other GTs ....

I really like 6 series Grancoupe and now they ruined it

I wonder if there will be an 8GC?!

simon the pieman · 06-13-2017, 12:10 PM

I think they remind me of those classic British piles of shite the allegro and princess.
Perhaps one day the GT's will be regarded as highly

allachie9 · 06-13-2017, 12:29 PM

Well I like it !
But then I love my 3GT (with the best engine, of course).
Lots of room and a slightly higher, more comfortable driving position.

GEP77 · 06-13-2017, 12:34 PM

I do hope this isn't the end of the GCs but I fear I may be right.

It's almost a shame the 4GC wasn't built on the same LWB version of the F3x that the 3GT was. Would have in my view made it the ultimate 3 series.

The thing about the 5GT and I guess 6GT is that they are too close in practicality, performance and price (at list) to the X5 and X6 without offering significantly better driving dynamics or refinement.
The 3GT was always a bit of an oddball in that spec wise you couldn't have the individual interiors or colours. And again for some reason it had to have the jacked up suspension and very peculiar tyre sizes.

This is what happens when everyone gets a participation trophy.

ewanmac · 06-13-2017, 02:11 PM

Looks little more than a 5 GT LCI so still aesthetically vomiting and by changing the nomenclature to a 6 series they havre ruined the 6 series sub-brand and caused even more confusion.

moff · 06-13-2017, 02:13 PM

Truly awful - a disgrace to the 6 series name

Even worse than the E63
