The exterior of the new BMW 3
Series Gran Turismo comprises four doors with frameless windows, a
coupe-style, gently downward-sloping roofline and a large automatically opening
and closing tailgate, all of which define the distinctive exterior character
of the BMW 3 Series Gran Turismo while the L-shaped lights
at the rear underline the broad shape

The newly designed LED
headlights coupled with LED rear lights, further enhances the new BMW 3 Series Gran Turismo’s stylish appearance. The
Adaptive LED Headlights with automatic height activation and four ‘white’ LED
corona ring design lends the car a sportier appearance. The Intelligent Light

conditions.
Extra chrome around the
interior controls, and new decorative wood elements, colours and leather trim
variants take perceived quality to another new level. The new elegant design
of the Center Information Display (CID)
brings structure and optical harmony to
the interior with its typical BMW
horizontal lines. The space argument
is particularly persuasive in the rear compartment, the adjustable rear
seat backrest maximises relaxation, while the cargo function increases the
520-litre boot by up to 33 litres.
Folding the rear seat backrest in a
40:20:40 split adds an extra 1,600
litres.

schemes – Sport Line and Luxury Line offer options that meet individual
requirements.

clear visual accents. Its striking
design features in high-gloss black
reinforce its sporty look. The boldly
designed kidney grille slats in
high-gloss black produce an

between black and red express the typical BMW athleticism: red contrast rings
on the round gauges of the instrument
panel, including sporting chromo scaling, red contrast stitching on the sports
steering wheel and a basic decorative trim strip in high-gloss black with coral red accentuated
strip. Additional upholstery options are also available with Sport Line. As a
distinctive feature of the Sport Line,
