Despite our feelings, BMW's goal is never to pull off another kind of good to excellent sedan derivative bending. Station wagon avoiding explained-that-by customers outside Europe terrible looking at this one, makes the sedan is designed to offer more space and versatility. So here is like a big 5-series GT, tries to be a master of all disciplines, coming 3-series GT. So jacks of all trades, we tested the six-cylinder 335i model to see how.
China, with incompetence
To make the new GT, BMW, the Chinese market has raised seating position 3-series took a long wheelbase chassis and added a large rear door. It's difficult for a short work, and BMW's designers spent considerable effort to mask the bulk of the GT team around Beermann page. One-piece outer sheetmetal is not shared with other 3-series. Compared to the sedan, GT, grown cautious in every direction. This is a large, headlights and kidney grille and hood bulge, there is an extra tall and side surfaces of the horizontal line. We are on the front fenders "air breathers" actually serve some aerodynamic purpose, we learned to our surprise.
3-series GT, we checked the 5-series GT is much better-looking car, and it's no good way to make big sizes. Thanks swollen body, the body joins the US BMW's 3-series sports cars makes artists more, 18 to 57 cubic feet of cargo holds. There is a generous rear legroom and adjustable split rear seats of the 15 stages. Drive crossover SUV and very dear to lovers have a higher seating position and interior fittings are made to the current 3-series high standard.
All this extra space, of course, comes with a penalty. Some of the high center of gravity agility, long wheelbase and (against sedan) to rob an extra 300 or so pounds. Sports cars equipped with rear suspension, GT and become more comfortable with a soft tool. Still, it does not appeal while playing. It is usual for the 3-series sedan, but the power is quite easy to promote oversteer than we've had a little more outside. This is the more powerful 335 model, of course, is easier.
We still could be more natural light and a feeling of power steering is not fully satisfied. But there is little to be gained by bemoaning the loss of power steering. Least important paper on the power steering efficiency gains; in fact, we average 22 mpg. This is not stellar, but we have heavy BMW X3 xDrive35i with the same engine 18 mpg is less good.
Our familiar BMW 335i test car came with N55 single-turbo 3.0-liter inline-six with 300 horsepower; who is a very nice mill speed effortlessly and without delay. We at 5.3 second 0-to-60-mph run 335 to 129-mile ripped and verified electronically governed speed. Both figures, while reasonable moving, very recently tested a rear-drive 335i sedan behind those. It came from the car-some standard xDrive four-wheel drive system over the GT's extra weight so chalk. BMW GT 328 base 240-hp, 2.0-liter turbo N20 uses four, but we have not yet had the opportunity to test our setup.
If you live in Europe, the engine is mated to a six-speed manual or eight-speed automatic transmission that we sampled. eight-speed slushbox is the only option for American buyers and changes smoothly and quickly, and steering wheel-mounted paddles or working correctly can be manipulated via a console-mounted shifter. In other words, pull to push upshift and downshift.
Environment and around Wagon Wheel
3-series GT $ 42,375 to start, yet powerful 335 $ 47.775 input commands. In addition, our test car was $ 3,100 M Sport package (18-inch wheels, sport seats, M steering wheel, body kit, and sporty interior trim) was added; $ 950 Cold Weather Package (heated front and rear seats and steering wheel); $ 1000 Dynamic Handling package (adaptive M suspension and variable-rate sports steering wheel); $ 2,200 Premium package (proximity switch, lumbar support, and satellite radio); and $ 3,150 Technology Package (navigation, head-up display and advanced Bluetooth capabilities). $ 650 M Sport brakes and $ 875 Harman / Kardon sound system, Tack, and you get to see here $ 60,250 3-series GT.
3-series GT no questions and offering plenty of good drivers. But enthusiasts and lovers will be drawn wagons suitable 3-series sports cars. I can not pair with buyers wagon turbo 3.0-liter six featured here, though, they get 240 hp turbo four (lighter cars abundant works well) or 328D diesel models can be. This wagon is no stranger to rate Gran Turismo and it also helps you may have had in the M Sport guise. If you are a family, again, if you find yourself in need of a hobby or a hobby room, horse-and 3-series wagon or cross-X3 can be satisfied only want one thing less traditional 3-series GT.
