Trivia[]

  • In Gran Turismo 2, BMWs are blocked from entering the Wheel Shop due to a hard-coded blacklist,[1] preventing players from changing their wheels. This has historically been speculated to be a requirement from the manufacturer as no other cars are blacklisted, but has never been proven.
  • A regular (non-compact) version of an E36 3-Series appears in some GT2 demo builds, internally named gb3cn and with replay name BMW E36 323i Coupe. The car has a complete body, but with no rims and the rear-left wheels popping out of the rear bumper.[2] Ultimately, the car was cut from the final game.
    • The replay name files found in the GT2 demos also mentioned a BMW E36 320i Coupe (with internal name gb0in). While having no body of its own (defaulting to a Toyota Altezza placeholder body), it would have likely used the same body as the 323i.[2]
  • An entry for an M235i M Performance can be found in GT Sport's files, albeit without a string name; the car itself never appeared in the game.[3]
  • BMW holds the highest number of Gr.3 cars in Gran Turismo Sport, at four, after the addition of the BMW M3 GT '11 to the game. This was later equated by Ford in GT7 (with additions of both Ford GT Race Car '18 and Ford GT LM Race Car Spec II), as well as Nissan (with additions of both Nissan Skyline Super Silhouette Group 5 '84 and Nissan GT-R NISMO GT3 '18) as of version 1.52, as well with the inclusion of the Nissan GT-R GT500 '99 in the launch car list.
  • In Gran Turismo 4, the BMW dealership has no BMW logos, with the tuning shop featuring a generic logo instead.
