The 2013-2016 BMW 3 Series Gran Turismo (GT) is a niche, liftback version of the 3 Series sedan, offering a higher seating position and significantly more rear legroom and boot capacity than the sedan or even the Touring (wagon). Reviewers often note its increased practicality and space, calling it a "real transportation miracle" and a good alternative to a 5 Series. However, some find it less "sharp to drive" than the 3 Series Touring. It's well-suited for buyers prioritizing comfort and practicality over ultimate driving dynamics, especially those needing extra passenger space or luggage capacity for everyday life.
The BMW 328i Gran Turismo has below-average reliability compared to its segment, with a higher average annual repair cost. Maintenance is estimated at $1,252 annually for the xDrive model. Insurance costs are also moderately high, averaging around $173/month for full coverage.
