The BMW 5 Series GT has yet to reach showrooms, but BMW is already planning a GT version of the 3 Series. The 335i Gran Turismo will be released sometime in 2011 and will have a similar two-stage tailgate as the 5-Series GT. It's expected to be priced between the 3 Series and 5 Series. It's also possible that 4 and 5 seater versions will be produced with both diesel and gasoline engines. It's doubtful that an M3 version will be produced.
It's not yet known if the 3 Series GT will replace the 3-Series wagon in the US, since the 5 Series GT is expected to replace the 5 Series wagon here.

I'm guessing they might sell more of these than Mazda sells RX-8's. Lol.

A mazda rx-8 would be more economical there is no doubt about that. bmw are good cars and all but they are for people who want to spend a lot of money on maintenance apparantly. they are too common where I live for me to even pay a great deal of attention to, so I don't really see the need for one. Actually come to think of it I see less mazda rx-8 on the street than new 3 series bmw so ya the rx-8 is even more unique.
