I would love to buy a E91, but my wife thinks the wagon SCREAMS MOM!
So because the E90 is hers, she picks the 4 dr as a junior executive car. The 3er GT looks like the perfect compromise. Great Job! I hope the production car comes close to the render. Last edited by ryanful; 10-21-2010 at 08:15 PM.. |

This is getting really irritating... so many to choose from... WAW "with the 3er we are translating style , elegance and purpose but also with serious driving dynamics" this is genuinely gay, I think this phrase -more or less- is being plastered on every new concept ... am very disappointed right now, all I can see is how much greed has got into BM... I don't want to see my country flooding with BMWs... so much for exclusivity. Scott I think BMW should cut the crap with these new concepts especially with the front wheel drive cars...
Sry if I offended anyone but that's my opinion. |

It does look nice.
I could go for the 3 GT if it didn't come with a large weight penalty, the 5 GT is 600 lbs heavier than the 5 series sedan. I would still want the performance. There is the occasional time when you need to get something big into your car.... I know being practical......

What the fuck Wagon?
Seriously... Does anyone else hate these Hatchbacks as much as I do? The only one I can somewhat stand is the 1-series Hatchback and even then I would rather get a GTI if I ever wanted a damn hatchback. Stick to what works, BMW. Dealerships are going to be overrun and not have many options for people to look at soon. |

The big difference between the 5 series GT and a potential M3 GT is that the M3 will be billed as a performance car whereas the 5 series GT has not been marketed as such, at least in comparison to the regular 5 series. I think the M3 market segment would not necessarily be looking for greater practicality as evidenced by the disappointing E90 M3 sales. As a parent with 3 kids, I'd been waiting years for BMW to make another M3 sedan, but I would not buy a GT. I just don't think the logic follows from a sales standpoint that since the more "practical" version is not selling well now, then buyers would go for an even more "practical" version, crossover popularity or not. Plus, there will probably be a significant difference in performance compared to coupe version due to the extra weight and size. Maybe a GTis, but not a M3 GT.

Please just build a damn M3 Gran Coupe and I promise, you will have much better sales than the outgoing m3 sedan or 3er GT. |

OK? this is the most pointless post in this entire thread. As to the 5GT being a sucess , they most be on some good shit because it is the ugliest car they have ever built (current models) and I have only seen one here in Miami and NONE at any dealers.

If this M3 GT is built I do not see why BMW would not offer the 4dr M3. I would think the wheelbase would be the same, the power plant would be the same, front hood, front quarter panels, front doors, all the same. The rear doors and roof line would have to be adjusted but it would go toward BMW's Modular platform of building cars and maintaining efficiency in building those cars.

BMW has never built an M3 touring either, for example, so the mere fact that a given M vehicle could exist and share most of its parts with similar existing vehicles is not a good indicator of whether such a vehicle will actually be offered. As SCOTT hints above, it is more about what makes the best business case. For example, there would likely be some sales canibalization between an M3 GT and M3 sedan, and perhaps it would be just enough to hurt overall profitability and ruin the business case. |

Assuming you meant the car under the blue tarp, that "ugly ass thing" is actually an F10 M5 in Monte Carlo blue:
http://f10.5post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=445625 If you think that will be an ugly car, might I suggest having your eyes checked? Or, maybe just not pass judgement on the looks of a vehicle that is way off in the distance and is mostly obscured by a covering? At any rate, the 3 series GT is probably barely out of the clay model stage at this point, never mind the M3 GT. There's little chance you'll see a real one sitting in a BMW test facility for quite some time. |
