BMW 3 Series Gran Turismo

The BMW 3 Series GT does not have the most balanced shape but there’s a positive of the roof extending far back on to the boot deck, and that’s the sense of space in the cabin. There’s loads of room in the back, and coupled with the comfy seat, what you get is one of the best back seat experiences for the money. It’s comfy up front too but the dash and overall look of the cabin is a bit last-gen now.
The 320d diesel is the mainstay of the BMW 3 GT range. Its 190hp engine feels strong and exciting but does get a bit buzzy at speeds. The 330i petrol, on the other hand, is quiet and refined. The 252hp engine builds speed effortlessly and gets better the harder you drive. As for handling, while the 3 Series GT is not as athletic as the 3 Series sedan, it still drives with vigour. Ride comfort is really good too.

The efficient and punchy 320d diesel makes for a well-rounded buy. However, if you don’t mind trading in some efficiency for an altogether more exciting driving experience, we’d recommend the 330i M Sport. All 3 GTs get LED headlights, a panoramic sunroof and two-zone climate control as standard. The M Sport gets sportier details inside and out and is also the only one to feature a head-up display.
