The facelift of the BMW 3 Series was unveiled a year ago and people started wondering whether the 3 Series Gran Turismo will follow suit. However, that didn’t happen. In fact, the GT is still a part of the production lines. The LCI (Life Cycle Impulse) version just got a launch film which looks very enticing. Check this out:
The car received a mild refresh and the BMW 3 Series Gran Turismo now looks better than ever. This is a car that is easy to love. The GT may look a little weird for others but it is still very beautiful. The headlights have been slightly rounded off while the taillights feature LED strips that improves the appearance of the car at the rear which matters the most.
For the interior, the facelift general layout is generally the same but BMW claims that the materials used will be even better. BMW has added some extra chrome around the interior controls, new decorative wood elements, colors and leather trim variants.
Technology-wise, all 3 Series GT models will have the new iDrive 5.0 system that was launched for the first time aboard the new 7 Series. The engines will also be even more efficient and fuel consumption figures is expected to drop by an average of 14 percent.
The range consists of three all-new petrol units developing 184 hp to 326 hp and five diesel variants producing 150 hp to 313 hp – with classical rear-wheel drive or BMW xDrive all-wheel drive, with manual or Steptronic automatic transmission choices.
