This is the latest member of the BMW 3-series family: the taller, roomer 3-series Gran Turismo. BMW claims the 3GT is designed to give the dynamic handling of a saloon, the rakish looks of a coupe and more space than an estate. Has BMW found the Holy Grail, or is this a case of Jack of all trades and master of none? ...

BMW is overhauling the 3-series Coupe - it'll be replaced in 2013 by the new 4-series Coupe and Convertible, previewed in this remarkably production-ready concept car.

Rated 4.5 out of 54.5

Chris Chilton, 10 October 2012 15:25

The 3-series Touring is a massively important car to UK buyers: BMW GB expects to shift over 35,000 new-shape 3-series in 2013, and 8000 of them will sport that fifth door. On sale in the UK from September, the fifth generation of BMW’s posh load lugger is 97mm longer than before, and measures 50mm longer between the wheels. Some of that extra ...

And that's not all - a taped-up Gran Coupe sporting enormous alloys and four exhausts ...
