BMW 320i Gran Turismo Luxury
This is BMW's answer for those who want
to choose a sedan, estate, or crossover. German manufacturer called it Gran
Turismo (GT). Model BMW 3-Series GT you see this, is the second model after the
5-Series GT in attendance in 2010.
Combining three car character, would
certainly create some compromise. The first is a typical appearance with a
little stern automatic spoiler shelter. Overall, this car is unique because of
the unusual.
Dimension is also, far greater than his brother, 3-Series sedan. With a length of 4,824 mm, 3-Series GT only 73 mm shorter than the 5-Series sedan. While compared to the 3-Series sedan, this car over a length of 200 mm. Ground clearance was 25 mm higher than the sedan siblings, making it have the capability to drive in a more varied terrain, but still carries a distinctive impression of a luxury sedan.
Luxury trim, the front of the 320i GT cursory look like the BMW 7 Series. Especially with metallic brown glaze combined kidney-grille typical of BMW greater. PT BMW Indonesia only air-trim variants Luxury for its GT models (both Series 3 or Series-5).
Inside the cabin, still comes with the arrangement and technology typical of BMW iDrive. Luxurious impression given by black anthracite wood panels and dashboard light brown skin color contrast. But I personally do not like the choice of the steering wheel is pinned on the driver's side. Shape, appearance, and the material was not in accordance with the trim "Luxury", because it does not look fancy.
But for business practicality,
flexibility, and comfort, forget all the criticism of the exterior shape as
when sitting in it, you will feel so calm and quiet. Present the most powerful
impression when he felt the second line. The addition of wheelbase to 110 mm of
3-Series sedan brings more spacious leg room. The sitting position is also
quite low, and plus-panoramic sunroof, increasing the feeling of space.
As with a roomy trunk capacity, easy
access for a wide door openings. Seat folding mechanism is also easy, just by
pulling a lever on the right side and the left, immediately you get 1,600
liters of luggage capacity.
Unfortunately there is a price to be
paid out of the profits. With a little menungging form behind, visibility was
compromised. Moreover, there is still the middle passenger rear headrests, and
if the rear spoiler is activated, the rear visibility on the wane again. Quite
disappointing because BMW only presents features in the rear parking sensors,
there is no parking camera as the latter is commonplace in Japanese cars
though.
Problem pengendaraannya, with large
dimensions and weight of more than 1.6 tons, this car is more comfortable
driving in a relaxed than haste. In Sport mode, the car gives a boost and a
little beat-by fishing adrenaline during acceleration, but the embrace of
comfort and silence the cabin is still so strong that encourages you to move
the drive mode to Comfort atapun Eco Pro.
As a grand tourer cars, engine-powered
2.0-liter TwinPower Turbo 184 hp and maximum torque of 270 Nm with the 8-speed
automatic transmission Steptronic have enough power to glide leisurely, and can
be more efficient thanks to the presence of coasting-mode in Eco Pro mode. In
most minimal stamping feet, we were able to glide at a speed of 90 kph constant
at just 1,500 rpm rev the engine.
Given feedback steering wheel, and
weight that fits make the driver comfortable and confident in all ranges of
speed and maneuverability. But with the great weight of the car and posture
higher than the sedan, you can feel the immediate symptoms of body-roll if too
driving too aggressively.
Comfort also comes from dings
suspension. 3-Series GT is made more comfortable direction, but still feels
strong enough to withstand the weight without swinging too much. BMW admirable
thanks to its success creating a "species" combined results of three
new car character. However, the price is only Rp 24 million cheaper than the
BMW 520i Luxury, strongest rival this car comes from his own family.
