BMW Concept X2 & 3 Series Gran Turismo The distinctive character of the BMW Concept X2 is expressed with its large wheels and familiar two-box design, a long wheelbase, stretched roofline, short overhangs and heavily forward-slantingC-pillar. The interplay of the darker cladding surfaces and striking Luminous Red body colour make the Concept X2 look slim from the side. At 4,824 millimetres in length, the BMW 3 Series Gran Turismo is around 200 millimetres longer than the other members of the BMW 3 Series family. And that takes it close to luxury-class territory. The design of the new BMW 3 Series Gran Turismo includes new, standard-fitted LED headlights for dipped and high beam and the LED front foglamps. All of the petrol engines and the four- cylinder diesel in the BMW 325d are making their debuts with the introduction of the new model.
