The 3-Series Gran Turismo is a five-door variant of the 3-Series sedan. The Gran Turismo trades the trunk for fastback styling, and a hatchback. Unlike the X4 crossover, the Gran Turismo rides on a longer wheelbase which increases both legroom and cargo capacity. BMW's xDrive AWD is standard on all models. Powertrain choices include 2.0l four-cylinder (330i) and a 3.0l inline six (340i). With a wide array of 3-Series variants to choose from, the Gran Turismo is a niche vehicle that will only appeal to someone looking for something different.

What Changed:

New engines force an updated nomenclature for the 3-Series. Four cylinder models are now 330i (formerly 328i), whereas six-cylinder engines become 340i (formerly 335i).
