    With BMW’s next 5-Series Gran Turismo set to receive 6-Series badging, it makes sense that the smaller 3-Series Gran Turismo will eventually join the 4-Series family. According to Autocar, this is exactly what BMW is planning for the 3-Series GT’s successor. Note, the current 3-Series GT has just received its mid-cycle update so the successor, the so-called 4-Series GT, is still a few years out. It will likely debut in 2019, as a 2020 model. By then, BMW—rightly—expects electric cars to be even more in fashion than they are today and thus will add an electric option to...
