Has the BMW 3 Series GT Been Discontinued?
2 Answers
According to the BMW 3 Series GT product page on BMW's overseas official website, the company has announced that production of this model ceased at the end of 2019. The BMW 3 Series GT was first unveiled in official images in 2012, followed by its official debut at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. In April of the same year, the BMW 3 Series GT entered the Chinese market as an imported model. The domestic market currently sells the 2019 BMW 3 Series GT, which offers two powertrain options: 1. The 320i model equipped with a low-power 2.0T engine, delivering a maximum power of 184 horsepower, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission. 2. The 330i model equipped with a high-power 2.0T engine, delivering a maximum power of 252 horsepower, also paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission. 3. Additionally, the 330i xDrive model comes with a four-wheel-drive system.
I remember the BMW 3 Series GT was indeed discontinued, around 2020. As someone familiar with cars, I think the main reason was its design didn't appeal much to consumers, and sales never really took off. In recent years, BMW has focused more on its SUV lineup and electric models, like the X3 or i3, which are more popular. Discontinuation doesn't mean it's disappeared—you can still find plenty of good options in the used car market if you're really interested in buying one. Just keep an eye on reliable used car platforms. Of course, BMW typically provides spare parts support for many years, so current owners don't need to worry about maintenance issues. In short, product line adjustments are normal; automakers always need to optimize resource allocation based on market trends.
