What the BMW G32 Is

The BMW G32 is the second-generation Gran Turismo, but the first to wear 6 Series badging after the concept migrated up from the 5 Series (F07) line. Built on BMW's CLAR architecture, the G32 pairs a hatchback-style liftgate with a stretched wheelbase and a taller roofline, creating a car that drives like a large sedan while offering the versatility of a wagon. It slots between the 5 Series and the flagship 7 Series in terms of interior room, prioritizing rear-seat comfort and cargo flexibility over sporting pretense.

Models and Body Styles

In the United States, the G32 was offered in a single, focused configuration during its brief run:

Unlike earlier grand-touring efforts that spanned coupe and convertible variants such as the E63 and E64, the G32 is strictly a practical, five-seat hatchback. Its lineage traces conceptually back through BMW's larger touring and executive platforms, a philosophy first seen in the E60 5 Series era.

Engines and Drivetrains

The US-market 640i xDrive Gran Turismo is powered by BMW's B58 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-six, a smooth and torque-rich modern six that has become one of BMW's most respected powerplants. It sends power through an eight-speed ZF automatic to the xDrive all-wheel-drive system, delivering confident traction in all conditions and effortless highway cruising. This drivetrain reflects the same engineering ethos you can explore in our BMW DNA overview—refined, flexible, and built for long-distance composure.

Owning and Buying a G32

The G32 is a comfortable, quiet grand tourer with genuinely useful rear space and a large, self-leveling air-sprung rear suspension. As a low-volume model sold for only two model years in the US, examples are relatively rare on the used market, which can make finding the right car—and specialist parts knowledge—more challenging.

Buying tips:

For enthusiasts who want space, all-weather capability, and understated style in one package, the BMW G32 remains an underrated grand-touring choice.
