Never the same basis, the BMW 3 Series, had resulted in so many different products. Of course, using technical options and configurations available, you can make the differences are blurring … or even more amplified.

Few manufacturers have flexibility BMW when raising new products targeted to specific niches, and proof of this is the variety of body which has in its range, almost overlapping each other. It is the result of seeking certain distinction in their models, avoiding the conventional and providing innovative solutions for very specific needs.

The first to get out of the traditional Bavarian conception of what should be car was the X5, a model that did not please the purists of the brand and customers, however, has managed to break into the market until today to become among the best sellers in its class. Who knows if the same thing will happen to 5 Series Gran Turismo, an even more ambitious and more complex conception creation, and that its letters are counting on the trunk of a family, the driving position of a SUV, the modularity of a minivan and the agility of a sedan, all without giving up an exterior design with certain sporting traits. Currently there has ended curdle commercially, on the one hand because of its controversial issue and, secondly, because of its high selling price of high-tech fruit which contains in its bowels, as well as proposals powerful engines. Even so, BMW It has not been cowed to repeat the concept on a smaller scale and priced more content in 3 Series GT. Part of it can be justified, especially for those who think the height of a conventional series BMW 3 is very low, something which adversely affects the ease of access the passenger compartment, the visibility when anticipate the traffic that precedes us and, as in any sport model in which you’re very close to the ground, makes other drivers you look over his shoulder.

He BMW 3 Series Gran Turismo is not much higher than a conventional automobile, although It offers an interior with a dose of modularity to maximize your trunk. The back row has reclining backs, which can be placed in a more upright position if specific need more cargo space. Also they can be fully and independently fold down the backrests, either from the trunk itself or by a spring seats provided very easily and with little effort. The trunk, like the rest of the interior is topped scrupulously and provides some additional practical solution regarding the 3 Series, as a greater number of hooks for hanging shopping bags, rails for positioning fastening accessories and a double bottom with lid damped and Electric door, whose degree of opening can be selected via the iDrive system and thus avoid friction with the roof, if the parking space is very low. The only downside is that from the inside can only open and must be closed from outside the car.

Regarding the dimensions of habitability, the BMW 3 Series GT features plenty of room for the rear passengers stretch their legs, but its breadth, by comparison, is not at all as remarkable. In this measurement the conventional 3 Series wins by no less than 5 centimeters, while In all three cases, due to the large central tunnel interior is better raised to 4 occupants. Another negative criticism we can do BMW 3 Series GT is that the rear windows without frame, like a coupé- not completely down. Access, however, that’s more comfortable than their brethren in range, because You have to bend down less to enter and the door opening is greater. logically, the 4 Series Gran Coupe is the most difficult access provides, without becoming problematic. Besides being lower, the seat is more remote from the door and no handholds ceiling. But it has other virtues.

the tables are reversed.

With the arrival of the "4-door coupes", The traditional premium saloons have lost some exclusivity and have become a less desirable alternative, not as aspirational. However, it’s not just image what brings he 4 Series Gran Coupe, because, like the BMW 4 Series, their behavior has also been revised. Win accuracy limit, poise and cornering speed. Its rear is somewhat drier, but not uncomfortable, what makes you go subject and with minor oscillations body without resorting to the optional active suspension. The result is a car very neutral, in which just you need to get to the opposite lock when you round the curves based gas. It is agile and responsive, but at the same time, easy to drive. With conventional suspension, 3 Series opts more for comfort so far unusual for BMW, not so much for sportsmanship of yesteryear. Nothing that the list of extras can not alter because There are several available suspensions, and even the direction can be changed, although in this case the optional variable radius that equipped the 4 Series Gran Coupe and the 3 Series GT no significant advantages.

Against its "family members", GT BMW 3 Series High quality keeps rolling and even the crosswind seem to affect him, but in sports driving is heavier note. There are more oscillations body, it is less incisive and accelerating in the turn opens path because of the derives from the front end -something accused to be a BMW-, which also arises to address a faster due curve. It does not give much confidence at first, It takes longer to support and you have to anticipate a bit to go on the racing line, but once you take the measure is very balanced and progressive. In any case, relatively speaking, I do not think so "awesome car" as the 5 Series GT, but neither intended. Each in his style, his personality is true to his image.
