TrueDelta Reviews the Available Features of the 2014 BMW 3-Series Gran Turismo

2014 BMW 3-Series Gran Turismo Available Features: Cons
YearComment
If you want a feature, you can probably get it on the BMW 335i Gran Touring. But there are exceptions. I've already mentioned that an automatic transmission and all-wheel-drive are mandatory, and that a third-row seat is only available (and standard) in the Mercedes. You can also only get a lane keep assist feature that can nearly drive the car in the Benz. But the feature most likely to be missed on the BMW--and a cheap, low-tech one at that--could be a rear wiper. These are standard on nearly every other hatchback or wagon, but one isn't even optional on the BMW. see full BMW 3-Series Gran Turismo review
