Next Generation M3 Gran Turismo GT Rumor (instead of F30 M3 sedan)
Reported on M3POST HOMEPAGE.
Just got my latest copy of Roundel and there is a rumor that BMW will produce an M3 GT in place of the sedan when F3X model comes out. Not sure why BMW thinks that a mini X6M will sell better than a sedan if M3 sedan sales are so disappointing. That would signal to me that most M3 buyers are not necessarily looking for more practicality. |

I would pimp an m3 wagon for sure...
I despise the 5er GT so much though, that if they name it GT, I probably wouldn't consider it. I have a wagon fetish...

Why buy the 5gt over an X6 or X5? Why buy an M3Gt over the X3M? Everyone has their preferences but I suspect this would appeal to an even smaller audience than the sedan.

I'd rock one... not that one, but the idea of one makes sense. Probably won't sell very well in the states tho. I love me some Layer Cake.

Why not?
The 3er GT will showcase lessons learned with the 5er GT. 3er GT is much lower and sleeker than the 5er GT. The brief for the 3er follows the same as the 5er GT travelling in style but add the word (fast!) for the 3er. Customers for the 3er GT are entirely different from the 5er GT, especially with the car being a 3er in which the customer expects the best Premium entry Sports sedan when they get behind the wheel of a 3er. The front end is something similar to this except the GT bloodline allows the headlights to follow the form of the 5er GT and turn upwards at the corners. but the overall shape is more flatter and angular like the rendering. The car has a high belt line which completely wraps around the car , like the second illustration this allows the roof to be lower and sleeker. The 3er GT is coming due to the response of the 5er GT which has sold over 20,000 units since it's introduction late last year, highly significant for a low volume premium product. In the US. The 5er GT has already eclipsed over two-years Combined sales of the 5er Touring since it's North American introduction earlier this year. |
