If the new-generation (G80) 3 Series’ tag seems steep, the previous-gen (F34) 3 Series GT comes around as an excellent proposition. the three Series GT is merely available within the top-spec M Sport trim priced at Rs 42.50 lakh, almost an equivalent because the new-gen BMW 3 Series sedan (Rs 42.30 lakh to Rs 49.30 lakh). We’ve thoroughly compared the 2 to seek out out which one’s a far better buy here. There are not any two ways about it, the three Series GT makes tons of sense as far because the value card cares . So, let’s delve into the three Series GT’s specifications in details:

Specs	3 Series GT 330i
Engine	2.0-litre, inline 4-cylinder petrol
Power	252PS@5,200rpm
Torque	350Nm@1,450-4,800rpm
Transmission	8-speed Steptronic automatic
Claimed 0-100kmph	6.1 seconds
Claimed Efficiency	13.95kmpl

The 3 Series GT is out there only with the two .0-litre petrol unit that proffers quite punch when it involves performance. It’s claimed 0-100 time is sort of impressive for a sub-Rs 50 lakh sedan. the highest speed is electronically limited to 250kmph. The 8-speed converter automatic has been known for its precise shifts for long now. The fuel efficiency is sort of less than the new-gen 3 Series but that shouldn’t be much of a hassle to a BMW buyer.

Parameter	3 Series GT (F34)	3 Series (G80)
Length	4824 mm	4709 mm
Width (including mirrors)	2047 mm	2068 mm
Height	1508 mm	1435 mm
Wheelbase	2920 mm	2851 mm

Given that these are two different generations of cars, it’d not be a good comparison. However, the GT is longer, taller and even features a longer wheelbase than the newer generation 3 Series sedan. So, it’s imperative that the three GT will offer better cabin space. For practicality, it also gets hatch-like rear door opening and 40:20:40 rear split seats.

Since it’s available within the top-spec fully loaded M Sport edition, the three Series GT is packed to the brim with equipment. Here’s an inventory of the headlining convenience features:

As things stand at the instant , this is often the swan song for the BMW 3 Series GT in India. This body form won’t be renewed with the new-generation 3 Series. Instead, BMW will bring the three Series Long Wheelbase sold in China to offer the three Series sedan company. As far as prices are concerned, the three Series GT’s tag of Rs 42.50 lakh (ex-showroom India) is merely Rs 1.10 lakh quite the smaller 2 Series Gran Coupe which provides it immense value for money.
