The new 2017 BMW 3 Series GT Facelift was first introduced to the public at the BMW International Open in Dusseldorf. Our photos show a BMW 330i GT model with the Luxury Line and painted in the Arctic Grey Brilliant Effect metallic. The car also features the 19-inch light-alloy wheels multi-spoke 674.

The new version of the Gran Turismo cuts a visibly sportier figure, and the three petrol and five diesel engines in the range offer noticeably higher output. All the engines are turbocharged and burn up to 14 per cent less fuel.

The design of the new BMW 3 Series Gran Turismo features standard-fitted LED headlights for dipped and high beam, and the LED front foglamps which lend the BMW 3 Series Gran Turismo a more sporting appearance. The car has a visually broader stance on the road. And the combination of updated LED rear lights and more zestful lines brings extra brawn to the rear styling.

The interior of the BMW 3 Series Gran Turismo has an even more sophisticated feel, thanks to upgraded materials and accents. Extra chrome around the interior controls, and new decorative wood elements, colors and leather trim variants enhance the premium feel and look of the cabin.

The latest version of the BMW Navigation system Professional will now also be offered in the BMW 3 Series Gran Turismo – the first time a mid-size model has been available with the upgraded system. The most important menu items are now displayed in a clear, tile-based style, which makes operating the system even more intuitive.
