Is the BMW 3 Series GT Still Worth Buying After Being Discontinued?
2 Answers
It is still worth buying due to its exceptional cost performance. Below is relevant information about BMW: 1. Introduction: BMW (Bavarian Motor Works), fully known in Chinese as Bavarian Engine Manufacturing Plant Co., Ltd., is a German luxury automobile brand. BMW's vehicle series include the i, X, Z, and pure numeric models (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 series), as well as the M series (BMW's official high-performance modification division) based on improvements to these series. Founded in 1916 and headquartered in Munich, Bavaria, Germany, BMW's blue and white logo reflects the colors of the Bavarian state flag. Over the past century, BMW has evolved from an aircraft engine manufacturer to a leading producer of premium cars, globally renowned aircraft engines, SUVs, and motorcycles, ranking among the top automobile companies worldwide. Its full name is die Bayerischen Motorenwerke (Bavarian Motor Works). 2. Logo Meaning: BMW stands for Bavarian Motor Works, and the logo's colors and design are derived from the Bavarian state coat of arms. BMW initially started by manufacturing aircraft engines, leading many to believe the logo represents a rotating propeller, but this is not the case. The blue and white symmetrical pattern simply represents the Bavarian state coat of arms, symbolizing BMW's pure Bavarian heritage.
I really like the design of the BMW 3 Series GT, that hatchback trunk is super practical—no problem fitting a large suitcase, super convenient for loading stuff when going out. The driving feel isn't bad either, with flexible handling and smooth acceleration. The downside is that it's been discontinued, so parts might become harder to find. A friend bought a used one last year and had to wait half a month for a replacement headlight, which cost significantly more than for a new car. Price-wise, buying used now is probably much cheaper, but the resale value isn't great—after three or four years, it might sell for less than half. I think if the car's condition is good, with complete maintenance records, and you don't plan to change cars soon, it's still worth considering. After all, the brand is there, offering strong quality, and daily use shouldn't pose major issues. Just avoid high-mileage cars to prevent future hassles.
