Hate the 5GT? Great, here comes the 3GT

Why are amercians so against wagons? My wife hates them too. I would kill for a e30 touring

Americans don't hate wagons. The problem is SUVs and cross overs are more profitable and easier to sell in a market where gasoline is cheap.

I would honestly LOVE for BMW to go bankrupt like Saab did, from all these stupid ideas they put into production.

That'll teach em!

LOL.. that will never happen

[Stanley Rockafella]

LOL.. that will never happen

I'm sure that the bigwigs at Chrysler and GM also had that opinion at some point too

honestly what in the fuck were they thinking on this one.
gotta be in the highest of high tier of fugly

[Xat1cZ]

Initial reaction = what.. the.. fuck.


That said, I can definitely see people buy this, hell if people buy the Honda CRV, Toyota Auris and other crap like that.. yeh why not this POS.

Speaking of the auris, that thing have a shift light and traction control button, ever since I saw this I've been afraid whenever someone in an auris approached me on the road... because if you need a fucking shift light and traction control button in an auris, you're in deep shit.

The 5GT actually is a nice car to be driven in. The rear seats have ample leg & head room.

It is kinda BS that they're caving to fill every possible market sector with a BMW. It's a lot of effort put into a design that can flop quickly though the trend really is pushing into more crossover/hybrid/mutant/mule vehicles....hard to judge them when they're coming into things this late in the game. There has to be something in international sales that's driving their decision.

At least they're thinking straight with the new 320 and the 1 series for providing a small FUN drivers car.

[MJCRO]

That thing is hideous, just the like M135i. What the hell are thinking?

I'm actually starting to appreciate some of his influence on the 7 and 5 series cars now.

YES I was waiting for this.

[OD Green E30]

He is wholly responsible for the 5GT and quit from BMW soon there after (AKA fired) for that colossal failure.

So, the 5GT was such a failure they decided to fire someone and make a 3GT?
