Confirmed: 3 Series Gran Turismo to be Discontinued

And nobody shed a tear of sadness.

F30lolz · 10-05-2018, 01:17 PM

GT’s are more rarer than an M1 on the road for me down here. Waiting for BMW to announce that they are ditching the manual trans across the line. Yup we know the autotragics are faster/better MPG but some people still love to shift

MarcelM1 · 10-05-2018, 01:20 PM

And fire that goofball who came up with the idea of the GT, horrible looking cars.

fridex · 10-05-2018, 01:22 PM

Great cars. Uber practical.
With the correct trim level they look good too.
Love my 328GT.

Macphisto · 10-05-2018, 01:22 PM

A niche car that failed to attract the niche.

I agree, assuming you meant 4er GC.

Same hatchback concept as GT but so much better looking!

Fixed that thanks !

im4su2 · 10-05-2018, 01:36 PM

I think this looks better than the G20

FatRear08 · 10-05-2018, 01:48 PM

Thank goodness. Never understood the appeal. Blahhhhh

marcva · 10-05-2018, 02:05 PM

So now that the G20 is as big as a 5 series (e34), does that mean that BMW will no longer bring the touring to the US?

“Segments are growing and shrinking and you have to always be careful,” he adds.

I see more GT's than I see X4's and X6's here in Los Angeles. Maybe they should keep consolidating. I wonder how much better BMW's could be if valuable R&D money wasn't wasted on those ridiculous slump back X trucks. IMO

I just looked it up and you know... the 6GT almost looks good in an Audi A7 (amazing car) kind of way since the 6 looks longer than the 3/5... but... its still too tall and looks like an egg. Be gone!

The GT's might not look pretty, but I sat in the rear seats of the new 6GT, and it's the best rear seat I've ever sat in. Even better than the 7 series.

Not sure the major features that a GC offered that you couldn't have with another model...

The Gran Coupes aren't going anywhere. The 6 Series GC is now out of production (reached its scheduled end of cycle), but the 4 Series GC continues and will get a reprieve next generation. Additionally BMW is adding both a 2 Series GC and 8 Series GC next year.
