Frozen Red M3 and 3 Series GT at M GmBH HQ in Garching, Germany?!

Genro757 · 04-01-2013, 05:31 PM

Featured on BIMMERPOST.com

Today was not only April Fool's Day but a German Holiday (Easter Monday) as well. Me and the girls got kinda bored at the house since everything was closed...so we decided to take a nice drive out to ///M GmBH in Garching...about a 45-50 minute drive from Regensburg...took a few pics...there was a pretty interesting BMW white "shell" behind the HQ in a parking lot...I wonder what it is?!?! Heres some pics...enjoy!

And what is this?!?!?! It was in the parking lot behind ///M GmBH?!?!?!

Perhaps it's there for development of an M3 GT model, M Performance model, or just from past development of the M Sports package?

There were a bunch of M6 Gran Coupe's hanging out there

That white shell is definitely some kind of sportback

Looks like the 2013 3 GT to me

Possibly...maybe getting an M sports package fitted?!?! Would be interesting to see an ///M GT though!

positiveions · 04-03-2013, 01:47 AM

I can get myself into trouble if I am there. I'll be trespassing more often than I should to take a sneak peak.

Nice shots! Too bad I couldn't make it out there with you, maybe next time.

bimmerjph · 04-03-2013, 03:34 PM

I wouldn't have a problem with a M3 GT, as long as it is not a softer M3 GT. It must be every bit as hardcore.

Teemo Panda · 04-03-2013, 03:38 PM

I smell an m version

Alper-1106 · 04-03-2013, 03:38 PM

Maybe the m division hated the 3 GT and decided to rip it off

LemonOne · 04-03-2013, 03:41 PM

Heck, we have M SUVs now, why not M GTs?
Makes more sense to me

m981addicts · 04-03-2013, 03:49 PM

IMHO, the 3GT's c-pillar doesn't look right geometrically. I think it needs a curve rather than an apex. Neither do I care for that 'boomerang' gill.

SCOTT26 · 04-03-2013, 04:10 PM

If the 3er GT becomes a success then they will assess the potential of the first
M3 Gran Turismo.

Imola.ZHP · 04-03-2013, 04:31 PM

If they make an ///M3 GT before an ///M3 Touring, I'm going to be VERY disappointed...

I believe the initial rumblings (way back when...) were that there would be no F80 M3 sedan and it would be replaced with the GT... Obviously the F80 is going to be produced, but maybe the M3 GT will be too?
