We Have Spent 4 Days With the BMW 320d Gt and Here Is a Day-by-day Account of the Same!
What is it?
Facelifted version of the BMW 3 Series GT. Has similar driving dynamics as the standard 3 Series sedan with a 200mm longer wheelbase which translates into more space in the rear seat.
How Does it Look?
If you look at it from the front, there are hardly any differentiating factors in between the normal 3 Series and the 3 GT ( a closer look will show you some differences like revised air damps). Come over to the side, first thing that will strike you is the coupe-like floating roof line and the updated alloy wheel design. At the back, the adjustable spoiler and the large tailgate shape define the 3 Series Gran Turismo.
On the inside, the cabin has a very similar design language as any other BMW i.e modern and retro at the same time. The connected iDrive infotainment system is quite intuitive and definitely is one of the top tech loaded systems I have seen in a car priced south of `50 lakh. You can toggle between different drive modes which have their own displays. In the efficiency pro mode, the iDrive system shows exactly how much fuel is being consumed and what is the exact car system straining the battery.
In Sport mode, you can also see the real-time power and torque figures which in my opinion is a very cool bit. I could actually figure out at what point am I using the peak torque and how early or late the power is delivered in the rev band.
I have spent four days with the 3 Series Gran Turismo and here is a day-wise experience of the same.
