Really sad that BMW messed this up so badly.
The idea of a 3 series that can comfortably accommodate adults in the back seat is great, and BMW's desire to not cannibalize 5 and 7 series sales is also understandable. Why they chose to go with a somewhat ungainly, jacked up hatchback will forever be a mystery.
An extended wheel base wagon (riding at a normal height) would have been spacious, practical, and good looking. I guess I should be grateful that they didn't go this route, though, as such a vehicle wouldn't have been sold in the U.S.
Dare we hope for an extended wheel base 4GC?
(And for the record, the vitriol directed at the 3 GT, and its owners, on this forum is ridiculous. It's hardly the ugliest car on the road, and anyone who is that deeply affected by the car someone else chooses to drive pretty clearly needs to look in the mirror to find the source of their unhappiness.)
