Funny thing on the way to Best Buy...

Just happened to see the same build color wise except 328 version no M sport package. Pretty funny though, he was a much older gentleman that doesn't really like station wagons he told me, he must've been about 63 said that this was his fourth Bmw, it was a 2014 model

My 335d M Sport coming in the same colour too, better park in Costco car park to get as much space as that! They look fantastic !

They're still too small for the silly oversize SUVs and pickup trucks so popular here.

Yes indeed it is, I was eluding to the fact that two similar colour vehicles where parked side by side.

I have never seen another GT on the road in my travels. That is pretty cool to find one that close to yours. Love the color!

Yup, not too many anywhere I guess. Population wise I would assume NY and CA have the most, but who knows

You tend to see lots of BMWs near and in large cities, where there's enough population to support dealers. In the country they're rare. My dealership is an hour and a half away, and I live in a city of 25,000. I've got two Ford dealerships within 15 miles. BMW barely makes the top ten in market share, at about 2.5%.

Hey! I resemble that remark, haha! I'm 64 and seriously looking at the new GT if it is easier to get in and out of than my F30. On my sixth BMW, and mostly have enjoyed all of them.

I'm 66, my GT is easier to get in and out of than my '07 Altima was. I have the seat set high for better visibility, I'm 6 feet tall and there's no headroom issue despite the sunroof. My liner is nearly always open, it really adds to the feeling of spaciousness. The only time I close it is when the sun's directly overhead in summer.

Nice. Yeah the headroom is awesome for the GT. By the way, when I went to BMW driving school, it was a best practice to use at least 3, mostly 4 fingers as a distance of measure from the top of your head to the top of the headliner. That is the "optimal" drivers view for any BMW. So be mindful next time you get in and measure with your 4 fingers.
