2017 BMW 330i GT review

It's a 3 that's as long as a 5 with as much room as an X, but is the 330i Gran Turismo BMW enough? Remember the famous comment attributed to Henry Ford, “you can have any colour you like, as long as it is black”? My, my, haven’t things changed. Imagine Ford’s reaction to the scenario where someone walks into a BMW dealer and says they are looking for a 3 Series, but one that has as much room as a 5 Series, and perhaps a bit of extra practicality, but they don’t want a wagon, and aren’t keen on an SUV, and would prefer luxury over sport, but maybe keep some sporty things in there like a spoiler and rimless windows, and oh, does it come in brown? Welcome to the 2017 BMW 330i GT, the culmination of a century of automotive changing tastes and market requirements. And sure, while the Model T which Ford was referring to, was available in many styles and colours, including black, for years buyers have had to choose from a pretty basic staple of shapes and sizes that manufacturers have to offer. But now, with modern scalable platform development a veritable technical art form, we can have pretty much what we want up top, as everything underneath has been well and truly tried and tested. The 3GT is a poster child for this freedom. And for a platform that underpinned the ‘ultimate driving machine’ mantra for years, the 3 Series Gran Turismo is a strange beast. Forward of the windscreen, it is the same as any other 330i variant. The familiar and generally excellent 185kW/350Nm 2.0-litre twin-scroll turbocharged petrol engine drives the rear wheels through the ZF eight-speed automatic transmission. It’s a format that continually earns the 330i the ‘pick of the range’ gold star around the CarAdvice office. Good power, good response, good economy plus an entertaining nature gives the GT's motive power a resounding tick. BMW claims 6.2L/100km on a combined cycle, and we managed 6.8L/100km over the week with the car. It's a solid building block, but the GT rests on the F30-3L chassis, a 110mm longer wheelbase that changes two big things over a regular 3er – the rear passenger room and the handling dynamics. So first to the good news, that space. Starting with the liftback/fastback/hatchback, there’s a 520-litre boot (up 40 litres on a sedan), which expands to 1600 litres when the 40:20:40 seats are folded. That’s 100 litres more than a 3 Series Touring, and about the same as a BMW X3 SUV. Those seats can be folded remotely, there is a 12-volt accessory outlet, flip-out luggage hooks, a netted-cubbyhole and support for the sliding storage system dividers (which are an optional accessory). The parcel shelf is split, with one-half raising with the boot, and the other clipped behind the rear seats. It works well and doesn’t intrude like the folding cover in the BMW X6 or even the clip-in blind of the touring. image source : https://www.caradvice.com.au article source : https://www.caradvice.com.au/526732/2...
