I wish they’d spend the money on the needs of the customers they already have.

Vaguely agreeing with you, I’d totally buy a 3GT if it’s just an AWD hatchback 3 wihout the 5GT crossover proportions or shooting brake design.

In fact……. Lets not have a 3GT at all, please. Just offer a subtle sport-back. Is that so hard??

Also, I agree with Viper, we do need an 8 series … but in an El Camino form.

I am interested in the 3 GT and 1 GT. Having only 1 vehicle in a dense urban environment with a daughter and dog, I do need the one size fits all, but I hate SUVs. So I wait for this vehicle.

As for all the bs about rumors vs. not, I love them so keep them coming.

Why, why God, BMW is investing such huge amount of money in ‘crap’, ‘ugly’ and ‘dull’ cars… Isn’t BMW a commercial operation? Mmmh, maybe because these cars SELL LIKE HOT BREAD? OMG!! Could it be that BMW is fastly adapting to it’s consumer needs? OMG!!!

they are extending their line up with completely unnecessary models…the 3 GT , why not 8 series?…the 5gt , why not first the CS?….there is nothing wrong with 3gt and 5gt but they should first fill some major holes with super car first and CS then move on to unusual stuff.like 3gt , who the hell needs that , such ugly 5gt already we dont need an even more uglier and duller 3gt….just think… cars like the cls , q7 , r8 , e class , s class…..the beauty now yesterday and tomorrow , bmw you need to wake up and start making cars. not crap like the gt series.

1st of The rumors should continue because we are fanboys and want to know anything if possible :P
2nd The GT are really going to make more profit then first thought..Im confident about it because i love these new ideas they are fresh and bring something new.I mean if you would always have to choose from 3cars then it would be boring..I remember when bmw had one 3-4 cars in their lineup and i know that whenever bmw introduced a new car bmw fans said oh no why cant they just continue how it was..I know this from past experience..After 2years that the new models had arrived most of these fans were actually stuned by the new models.
I can give you the best example with the X6.You know how contraversial it is ?Yes it is and do you know that it sells like hot cakes?I live in a poor country and all but here in my city there are at least 15-20 X6′s that is unbelievble,everyone loves them and im sure that the 5GT will be the same and this 3GT would be also welcomed.
At least this is my opinion,the industry needs freshening up

Wow, a long wheelbase 3 series platform. I asume that the 3 won’t come out in a L version, only the 3 GT will have this for extra rear leg room.

I really like these forward thinking models from BMW. It brightens up the automotive landscape somewhat. I predict that these GT models will find a nich even greater than BMW is hoping for. Simply because the concept is so new and well thought out. The three box car won’t disapear – far from it. But at least now customers have got a greater range to choose from. Never a bad thing.

I too love these rumors, so, bring them on!

And the rendering looks cool. BTW it seems that everytime Autobild offers a rendering, the actual car ends up looking almost exactly the same. Sometimes it seems that Autobild’s illustrators go to BMW’s HQ and then draw a rendering… just MHO.

Keep the rumours coming. You can read announcements and confirmed news anywhere. If people didn’t write about Apple rumours there would be nothing Apple to talk about. I love hearing all the speculation and leaks when evidence isn’t available, as long as the sources are credible or have some record of being mostly correct.

Keep up the good work Horatiu.

One last thing: what would be the automotive industry without rumors?

Same goes for technology and other fields. Look at Apple products and you will understand more about the hype around products and diversions produced by the companies. Do we fall for them sometimes? Sure, never denied that.

Should we just focus on posting new releases and other CONFIRMED news? Sure, that would be ideal. Are we going to start doing that? I don’t know, didn’t really think it bothered everyone.

You’ll be surprised how many things he says and we hold off. We learned to discern the truth from diversion. And yes, 3 GT is being considered by BMW and no, it has not been sent to production. In the past, most of Scott’s predictions came through while others haven’t, hence why we know now when to differentiate the news.

We try, at least when we can, to cross-reference his rumors with some of our sources.

And btw, when we believe is just a rumor, we definitely point that out.

LOL this place just regurgitates what this Scott27 says on you know what site.

And half the time he’s full of nothing but hot air. Regurgitated hot air is useless.
