BMW’s continues its effort to be present at every single auto show and it has done so as the it has taken the covers off the 3-Series Gran Turismo.

Built to attract people who want something different, the 3-Series GT is the automotive equivalent of a riddle covered in mystery.

Despite censure, the 3-Series GT is similar to its larger sibling and adopts a known hatchback design. Styling characteristics has been copied from the 3-Series sedan, but the GT is differentiated by the aforementioned hatch which includes an active rear spoiler that deploys at 110 km/h (68 mph) and draws back at speeds below 70 km/h (43 mph).

Irrespective of the similarities the 3-Series GT is actually larger than the 3-Series Touring as it measures 200mm longer, 81mm taller and sits on a wheelbase that has been enlarged by 110mm. This results in a more spacious cabin as there’s an additional 70mm of rear seat leg space as well as 1600 liters of luggage capacity when the back seats are bent down.

A different array of engines are on offer which includes a 2.0 Liter twinturbo to 3.0 liter twin turbo, 143 HP to 306 HP and 320 Nm of torque to 400 Nm of torque.
