The BMW 3 Series Gran Turismo (also referred to as the BMW 3 Series GT) is a variation of the manufacturer's 3 series model, marketed as a more independent model.

It is based on the V3 automobile platform and is the first generation of BMW's Progressive Activity Coupe (PAC) series. The concept debuted at the 2009 Frankfurt Auto Show as a Concept 3 Series Gran Turismo (3 GT). The V3 is meant to appeal to BMW customers looking for a smaller sportier version of the 5 series GT.

The production 3 Series GT is build on a wheelbase 110mm longer than the standard 3 series wagon with a 79mm higher roof and a 17mm increase in width.[1][2]
