2014 BMW 3 Series

The all-new BMW 3 Series Gran Turismo adds an innovative new concept to the BMW 3 Series line-up.

Typical BMW proportions, four doors with frameless windows, coupe-like profile, sloping roofline and large tailgate define the distinctive exterior character of the BMW 3 Series Gran Turismo. An active rear spoiler -- the first on a BMW -- adds to the aesthetic appeal and reduces lift at highway speeds.

The luggage compartment also reflects the car's increased dimensions, its 18.3 cu.-ft. of trunk space, outstripping that of the BMW 3 Series Sports Wagon by a full cubic foot. The large load aperture and high-opening tailgate make access easier.

Large air intakes below the headlights emphasize the sporting character of the car, as do the aerodynamically motivated apertures for the Air Curtains. The most prominent design cue remains the kidney grille, which draws the visual focus of the front end further towards the road and gives the car a lower-slung and sportier feel.

The new BMW TwinPower Turbo 4-cylinder's displacement of 1,997 cc delivers maximum power of 240 horsepower, thanks to twin-scroll turbocharging, the maximum torque of 255 lb.-ft. is developed at just 1,250 rpm and remains constant up to 4,800 rpm.

The inline 6-cylinder engine in the BMW 335i Gran Turismo will impress performance-minded drivers with its effortless power, exceptionally fast-revving temperament and outstanding refinement. With a maximum power rating of 300 hp, the 3.0-liter 6-cylinder unit reflects the sporty personality of the BMW 3 Series. And the high peak torque of 300 lb.-ft., on stream between 1,200 and 5,000 rpm, ensures that the power is effortlessly delivered.
