Proto:Gran Turismo 4/BMW 1 Series Virtual Drive

This is a sub-page of Proto:Gran Turismo 4.

This article is a work in progress. ...Well, all the articles here are, in a way. But this one moreso, and the article may contain incomplete information and editor's notes.

To do: Is there anything else unused?

The BMW 1 Series Virtual Drive is a European special release based on the First Preview build, featuring here BMW's then-new 1 Series. This version was used to promote the car, even including a little showcase video and a demo replay around the Nürburgring before the title screen. There are three tracks, the Nürburgring, New York, and Costa di Amalfi.

There are two versions of the demo: SCED-52578 for dealer use, with no time limit, and SCED-52681 for general public, which imposes a play time limit of 180 seconds (3 minutes).

Unused Cars

The BMW Concept M5 from the European version of Gran Turismo 4 Prologue can be found unused in this demo. This car was replaced by the BMW M5 '05 in the final game, as the production M5 had been unveiled by then. In addition, three BMW race cars, the 320i Touring Car '03, BMW V12 LMR Race Car '99, and M3 GTR Race Car '01 also have their bodies existing in this demo, with all racing series logos and driver names intact.
