Update 1.56 is officially live and comes along with three cars, one of which has the famous roundel. The original Z4 joins the BMW garage as a 2003 3.0i model alongside a 1988 Peugeot 205 GTI hot hatch. The third and final car couldn\u2019t be any different \u2013 a 1962 Mercedes Unimog.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s been a while since we last talked about a BMW joining Gran Turismo 7. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2024\/07\/24\/1997-bmw-m3-gran-turismo-7\/\">M3 E36<\/a> arrived with Update 1.49 back in July 2024. Honestly, there aren\u2019t as many models as we would\u2019ve wanted, but at least it\u2019s an eclectic selection. Players can drive a 3.0 CSL E9 or hop behind the wheel of the oddball i3 electric hatchback. The Z4 is not only represented by the E85 generation but also by the newer E89 as a GT3 race car from 2011.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/2003-BMW-Z4-in-Gran-Turismo-7-1.jpg\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-496214\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/2003-BMW-Z4-in-Gran-Turismo-7-1-830x467.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"830\" height=\"467\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/2003-BMW-Z4-in-Gran-Turismo-7-1-830x467.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/2003-BMW-Z4-in-Gran-Turismo-7-1-1820x1024.jpg 1820w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/2003-BMW-Z4-in-Gran-Turismo-7-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/2003-BMW-Z4-in-Gran-Turismo-7-1-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/2003-BMW-Z4-in-Gran-Turismo-7-1.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\"\/><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-medium wp-image-496214\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20830%20467%22%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/2003-BMW-Z4-in-Gran-Turismo-7-1-830x467.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"830\" height=\"467\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/2003-BMW-Z4-in-Gran-Turismo-7-1-830x467.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/2003-BMW-Z4-in-Gran-Turismo-7-1-1820x1024.jpg 1820w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/2003-BMW-Z4-in-Gran-Turismo-7-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/2003-BMW-Z4-in-Gran-Turismo-7-1-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/2003-BMW-Z4-in-Gran-Turismo-7-1.jpg 1920w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Gran Turismo 7 also gives players the opportunity to drive the mighty McLaren P1 GTR powered by a BMW V12 engine. If you\u2019d rather stick to cars from Bavaria, the most beautiful model included in the game is undoubtedly the Z8. There\u2019s also a fictional car, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2014\/05\/14\/bmw-vision-gran-turismo-virtual-race-car\/\">Vision Gran Turismo<\/a>, created specifically for the GT series. It debuted more than a decade ago for the sixth installment in the long-running video game franchise.<\/p>\n<p>If we\u2019re allowed to dream, gamers want a title dedicated exclusively to BMWs. Think Need for Speed Porsche Unleashed but with BMWs instead. How cool would that be? In the meantime, we\u2019re happy big games like Gran Turismo are adding new models to keep enthusiasts entertained. Reports indicate Forza Horizon 6 could be announced as early as this year. If that happens, fingers crossed that there will be plenty of BMWs to drive.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.playstation.com\/2025\/02\/26\/gran-turismo-7-update-1-56-available-today\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Playstation Blog<\/a><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Introducing the &quot;Gran Turismo 7&quot; Free Update - February 2025\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/l2Orwl6iKZo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen=\"\">[embedded content]<\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BMW fans booting up Gran Turismo 7 today are in for a real treat.
