Is There A BMW 3 Series GT In Your Future?

Is There A BMW 3 Series GT In Your Future?
BMW will begin to roll out its next generation 3-series, codenamed F30, in 2012. The car will be built on BMW's new MSB architecture, which means it will share its strut front end layout with the next-gen 1-series (codenamed F20) rather than use the double wishbones of the 5, 6, and 7-series cars.

For the first time, there will be five different 3-series bodystyles. The four-door sedan, which will appear March 2012, touring wagon (Sep 2012), coupe (Sep 2013), and convertible (Mar 2014) will all follow the familiar 3-series formula. The newcomer to the family is the hatchback Grand Turismo version, set to appear in March 2013. The GT3 is much more lifestyle-oriented and sportier than the GT5. It has a deep and wide tailgate, but it is a single-piece unit rather than the heavy and complex two-piece hatch of the GT5, and there is more of a notchback silhouette to the rear end. In terms of height, the GT3 sits midway between the 3-series sedan and the GT5.

In some circles, the "GT" moniker has become synonymous with "station wagon" or "cross-over" (AKA a cross between a station wagon and a mini-van). I much prefer Ferrari's and Bentley's use of GT, meaning a Grand Touring automobile.

"Is There A BMW 3 Series GT In Your Future?"

Let's take an intelligent look at that question. Where are the photos, specs, and reviews for starters?

Oh there aren't any. And there aren't even any details from BMW. Not even a concept drawing!

I guess my first mistake was to attempt to do something intelligent based on an Autospies flame bait...I mean article.

Considering the BMW 3 series has continued to creep up into the 40's and now 50's with just a few additions or options and yet they continue to come without standard leather or HID systems I would be compelled to say no. Wow, that was pretty easy to say. And no I am not only concerned about standard features, but I can find a nice used BMW for A LOT cheaper that has recently been repo'd off someone who couldn't afford the $800-1000 a month payments.
