BMW will introduce two new additions to its award-winning 3 Series line-up, the BMW 3 Series Gran Turismo and the diesel-powered BMW 328d, during this year New York Auto Show.
BMW first redefined the Gran Turismo segment with the BMW 5 Series GT by adding first-class seating for four with space for luggage – and now introduces the BMW 3 Series Gran Turismo. Based on the iconic BMW 3 Series, the 3 Series GT features a longer wheelbase, more rear seat room and flexible luggage space with an optional panoramic moonroof.
The 3 Series GT will arrive in the U.S. this summer and will be available with either an award-winning TwinPower Turbo 4 cylinder or inline 6-cylinder engine.
The diesel-powered BMW 328d will make its U.S. debut at this year’s New York International Auto Show, joining the BMW 3 Series lineup.
The BMW 328d will be powered by a TwinPower Turbo 4 cylinder engine, delivering 180 hp and some 280 lb-ft of torque, enough for a 0 to 60 mph time of 7.2 seconds. Mileage could well exceed 40 mpg (official US EPA estimates will be available closer to the launch of the 328d).
