\"The<\/a>

The 3 GT gets a range of petrol and diesel engines<\/p><\/div>\n

The BMW 3 series GT is longer, wider and taller than any other 3 but is bigger necessarily better, we find out?<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

What is it?<\/b> The iconic GT name was coined in the 1930s to describe European cars designed to cosset their occupants in opulent luxury. Capturing this spirit the 3 series Grand Tourer, or Gran Tourismo as they say in Italy, \u00a0promises to be just what the name suggests, a car for Grand Touring.<\/p>\n

Who is it aimed at? <\/b>Keen drivers looking for the practicality and space of an estate but with the driving dynamics of a saloon will welcome the addition of this \u00a0BMW to the range .<\/b><\/p>\n

Styling?\u00a0<\/b>In a bid to be all things to all people the styling of the GT is a little awkward. While we love its practical purpose we had hoped for a certain panache from a BMW GT and on first sight we were left wondering what had happened to the 3 series. But despite our misgivings the BMW 3 GT received many favourable comments during our week’s road test.<\/p>\n

Under the Bonnet <\/b>There are three petrol ( 320i, 328i and \u00a0335i) and two diesel engines (the 318d and the 320d) \u00a0to choose from. Our test car was powered by the entry-level 318 diesel that goes from standstill to 100km in 9.6 seconds and has a top speed of 210 km\/h.<\/b><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>

The GT boasts a 1600-litre boot with the seats folded<\/p><\/div>\n

What about Inside?<\/b> Slip into the driver\u2019s seat of the 3 series GT and you\u2019ll instantly feel deliciously sophisticated. There is plenty of space, the visibility\u2019s great and the seats are supremely comfortable.\u00a0 The extra height means it\u2019s easy to get in and out of, both front and back, a feature that will particularly appeal to those with young children or elderly parents. The interior while familiar from the 3 series range, is first rate throughout. Boot space is 520 litres with the seats in use but with the seats are folded down there is an enormous 1600 litres available,\u00a0 this is a boot designed for lugging wardrobes!<\/p>\n

On the Road? <\/b>While it is not quite as sharp on the road as the 3 series, there is little to complain about. The suspension is a little softer, as expected for a Gran Tourismo but the trademark sharp steering is evident. While it tends to roll on corners and can feel a little giddy at low speeds on the motorway it is a beautifully comfortable cruiser.<\/p>\n

And Safety?<\/b> Solidly built, there is more than enough safety features \u00a0and \u00a0state-of-the-art electronic aids to keep occupants safe and sound.<\/p>\n

Options?<\/b> In addition to the entry level SE there are three additional equipment levels, Sport, Modern and Luxury along with a M Sport package. Standard equipment on the GT is generous and includes 18-inch alloy wheels, 6.5-inch colour screen with iDrive and climate control which is good as the tempting but expensive options list is extensive, our press car came with over \u20ac11,000 of extras.<\/p>\n

Economy: <\/b>According to BMW the 318d will return <\/b>an impressive 4.8 litres per 100kms on a combined cycle of motorway and urban driving and our week behind the wheel confirmed similar figures. CO2 emissions of 127g\/km means the annual road tax is \u20ac270.<\/p>\n

Okay so the Verdict? <\/b>The GT\u00a0costs around \u20ac1,750 more than the equivalent estate version of the 3 series, so is this money well spent? You get a more spacious boot and more legroom for rear passengers. On the downside the raised height means its not as sharp to drive as the saloon.\u00a0 BMW drivers who are willing to trade dynamics for space will love the new GT but for many it will be an answer to a question we are not convinced anyone was asking.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Why you\u2019ll buy one? <\/b>Practical, Spacious, Comfortable <\/b><\/p>\n

Why you won\u2019t? <\/b>Pricey, Dynamics, Styling<\/b><\/p>\n
