3 Series (F30) BMW F34 3er GT: Spy Pics - Renders - Info

[K-A]

Wow, that looks weird and awful. I even see some Audi in the greenhouse. That side vent looks so cheesy, out of place, gimmicky and cheap.

The front, however, actually looks good! Seems the grille is different from the F30 and executed much better. In contrast to my comments on the 4-Coupe thread, looks like BMW might be hopefully finding their groove with the new interpretation of the kidneys! (finally)

Why were the other pics deleted?

no thank you BMW, you can keep it. For me the front doesn't work. the lights merging with the kidney grill looked benign at first, but just plain grotesque after a second look and already looks dated. profile is horrible, and the rear 3/4 just plain wrong.
wonder who this car is aimed at?

Yikes. I don't get it, why another one of these when the 5GT is a dud already?

So much body roll.

 

[hoffmeister_fan]

well, I had higher hopes for the 3GT since I thought a smaller body would be more appropriate for a fastback hatch. But it's pretty legit awkward-looking. Give me a 3er Touring with a Sports package, and we can call it a day.

In the States, it's a rare (disfigured) bird. Internationally, especially in China, it is well-received, or so says SCOTT27.

BMW is losing its roots. They need to go back to what they do best - sedans & coupes. This is disgusting. The lights merging with the kidney's is awful. And don't even get me started on the out of place side vents. I'm sure with BMW's new electric steering it will manage to be even more boring and bloated than the F30. Honda Crosstour anyone?

BMW better not even dare to claim they created a new niche with this car.

I like the front, more than the 3er actually. But the rest of the car.... is the Notre Dame hunchback

Having taken some time to digest these pictures, this is my official opinion on the car:

1. Design wise, I am not impressed. The front appears to be almost as sleek and anorexic as the regular F30, but from the A-Pillar and back, the car is fatter than the normal sedan. Audi managed to make both the A5 SB and the A7 to appear sleek all the way to the back. I hoped that BMW could do the same.

2. Concept wise, it's the same old, same old. I strongly despise all those types of cars, that don't come to one's mind when he thinks of BMW. I am all in for the segment's single best sedan, the F30 or the F10, but a BMW a la A7? Why? There's nothing like that in BMW's history either, while the Audi team did have something to refer to (notice the hyperlink . I can't find a reason to buy, or even like this thing. It's not even what people nowadays call a "4 door coupe"...

BMW better not even dare to claim they created a new niche with this car.

We can expect a great deal of creativity with BMW's press release on the 3 GT

I hate these "GT" incarnations. Looks like a Saab gone wrong design wise.

That will come with the 4er Gran Coupe.

 

[Giannis]

That will come with the 4er Gran Coupe.

Exactly. So what's the point of having both a 4 door sedan and a 5 door fastback (or whatever this is called) alongside the normal sedan? Is the market so big?

 

[K-A]

Ladies and gentlemen. Here is a case study in "looks like sh**".

I finally started warming up to BMW after M-B finally lost my interest, and now this.... I'm starting to get worried BMW are showing signs of going down the same design road as M-B.

Are they planning to built a successor to the %er GT ?

 

[Merc1]

Pig with M-lipstick on it..lol. Its going to look really good in the commercials I bet.

The front looks great (but not the rest). Same face the new 4-serie Coupe are going to look like?

Yeah, I agree.

 

[EnI]

Are they planning to built a successor to the 5er GT ?

Yes. This time with sleeker rear end ... with pop-up wing like on forthcoming 3er GT.

GTs with their higher semi-command sitting position have built their own customer pool.

See, there are people who want something more comfy than sedan / wagon (especially regarding the sitting position) yet don't want driving an SUV/SAC. GT perfectly caters such need.

No there aren't. This is bull. Most of the 5er GT are bought by fleet companies and used as taxis. People are buying Range Rovers, not 5er GT.
