Here we go again!
The launch of the 3-Series GT is going to set off a BMW super-fan armageddon again. Can we just skip the opening credits - you hate the styling, dont see the point, BMW's losing the plot, only someone in China will like it, havent seen one around at all, didnt they hear about the 5GT??! Some of you might actually test-drive one. Sure it is a niche crossover (and not designed to appeal to all tastes by definition). Sure it drives a bit different from a rep-mobile 520d/528i in Space Gray. But some of you may find the space and versatility and the uprated interiors (over a comparable 3-series sedan or touring) a compelling proposition. Not to mention very good driving dynamics and performance for what is a big crossover (and you didnt want an MPV or a Touring/Wagon) The 3GT, like the 5GT, is likely to be sensitive to configuring the right exterior and interior trim and options. It is a heavier car and will NOT be as frugal as your current rep-mobile. But for a few people who are not afraid to be different, and vote with their ££ in Europe where the GT is a moderate success for a niche platform, and Asia where it is an established platform; here is another option - sportier, more accessible and every bit as compelling as the 5GT. Off my platform, normal service has now resumed |

I like it, the M-sport looks pretty good, the other one, not so much.
I don't mind if other people don't every one is entitled to their opinions on the styling and such, but it never ceases to amaze me how narrow-minded, and in some cases uneducated, some of the reactions on here are - cars like the GT's don't embarrass me as a BMW fan, but some of the reactions here do. |

The taillights are way sleeker than the F30.. I think the car looks good, well except for the boomerang and the overstretched roof-line. It isn't hideous like the ti.. I don't know why you guys find it ugly.. It's just plain normal. That being said, I don't agree with what BMW has been doing lately and I certainly don't think the GT segment has any meaning.

Looks like a 5GT crashed into a 3 series. Hard.
Like a girl with a beautiful face and a big fat ugly ass! M-sport line with a ground clearing of a SUV?! Gills look like plastic stickers, and placed too low. |

Also, I would think that this car is for the european market only where the A5 fastback is a hot seller. Needless to say; I am disappointed with this design. The F32 might be the ugliest BMW 3 series couple ever made.

This is all sorts of ugly....
The front grill was one of the best things about the F30. This made it worse. Yuck. |

If you don't like it: fine. But don't come out with stupid comments like BMW are diluting their brand and this isn't a BMW and how dare they. You just sound a bit ... well, a bit retarded really. Like you can't think past your own nose.
