Although the German automaker has not even released their new 5-Series GT yet, it seems to have plans to make a GT version of their popular 3-Series vehicles, which currently looks to be the 335i.  Although unconfirmed, BMW says it is planning to create a cargo-hauling small brother based on the next generation 3-Series.

As auto makers are being forced to comply with the 35.5 mpg regulation the U.S. set for all new vehicles sold, BMW of North America CEO Jim O’Donnell says he believes the popular German automaker could sell more than 100,000 of their new line of 4-cylinder powered vehicles.
