BMW 3-series GT India review, test drive

The ride is also very cosseting. The 3 GT's suspension took the broken roads on the outskirts of 

Delhi with little fuss and only the really sharp bumps resulted in distant thuds. The cabin also remains pretty well isolated from the road.

 

 

The only real visual link with the 3-series saloon on the 3 GT are the headlights merging with the kidney grille. The rest of the car looks almost nothing like the saloon. It's not particularly pretty, but it's not unattractive either. The nose is fuller, the roofline is like a big arc and the rear is very different too. What you don't realise when you're driving it is how big this car is. At 4824mm, it is 200m longer and 79mm  taller than the saloon and you'll be thankful for the standard reverse camera everytime you park it. BMW is assembling the 3 GT in India and will offer a petrol variant in the near future. For now though, the 3 GT diesel is priced at Rs 42.7 lakh and for that price you get a well-rounded, multi-talented and very spacious luxury car. Plus, it rides well and it's also a good performer. It's actually the perfect halfway house between the 3-series and 5-series.
