BMW wants to add up two new engines to the BMW 3-Series Gran Turismo, which will complete the entire lineup of the 3-Series, especially since the 3-Series Gran Turismo has not yet received any new powertrains under the hood. The new engines refer to the GT 318d and the GT 320d, debuting this summer. Let`s see some information on the two new engines concerning performance, fuel-consumption figures and the CO2 emissions.
