BMW 330i Gran Turismo M Sport Design
The changes made to the exterior design of the 3-Series GT definitely make it look sportier. Like the 3-Series M Sport, this one also gets a different bumper design, sportier alloys. It does away with chrome appliques and features ‘M’ badging all around. They are in line with BMW’s current design language and similar to what we have already seen on the 3 Series facelift. Up front, the headlamps are now full LED units with LED daytime running lights. The front end of the GT facelift also features a new bumper. At the back, the rear bumper has been redesigned and it gets tail lamp detailing similar to what we have seen on the new 3-series. The interior features faux carbon fibre trim along with an M Sport steering wheel. Much of the dashboard design remains the same, with only the sports front seats, new headliner and upholstery making a difference.
