BMW 3-series GT India review, test drive

The gearshifts are quick and smooth and the gearbox is ready to respond to downshifts requests for those quick overtaking manoeuvres. The 3 GT comes with three driving modes - Sport, Normal and EcoPro - that lets you choose between sportier responses or dulled throttle response (for fuel economy). There is some diesel growl entering the cabin under hard acceleration, but it is otherwise smooth and refined enough.

 

 

In isolation, the 3 GT is quite nice to drive. There's a directness to its steering and there's no hesitation  or reluctance when you ask it to turn into a corner. It's just that, thanks to the extra weight, height and  size, it doesn't have the same enthusiasm as the saloon. The brakes are phenomenal though.
