BMW 2 Series Gran Tourer: newest addition to BMW range has room for seven – but will it find a way into your business car heart?

I WAS over at BMW’s new Farnborough HQ recently to meet BMW’s boss of corporate Matt Bristow.

While we had one thing in common – the sniffels courtesy of early spring hayfever – we were rather more divergent on the issue of the new BMW 2 Series Gran Tourer.

I don’t have anything against the idea of a BMW seven-seater at all, but I’m less enamoured of the execution. I just don’t think the styling cuts it for a BMW.

“Our cars don’t photograph as well as they should always,” replied Matt. “I guarantee you it looks much better in the metal.

“We’ve had a high level of interest surrounding the Gran Tourer,” continued Matt. “It’s attainable within a reasonable price walk of other MPVs on the market. It also gives us an opportunity that previously only resided with the BMW X5 to have a seven-seater with the blue and white propellor on the bonnet.”
