The Sentinel resembles a [[wp:BMW 5 Series (E39)|1996-2003 BMW 5 Series]] sedan (most likely a 528i, based on the power and size) in GTA III and GTA Liberty City Stories. In GTA Vice City and GTA Vice City Stories, it resembles a lengthened [[wp:BMW 7 Series (E23)|BMW 7 Series E23]], and in GTA San Andreas, it resembles a [[wp:BMW 7 Series (E32)|BMW 7 Series E32]]. However, several significant cosmetic changes may be noted between the latter three games, particularly with regards to the the frontal and rear fascias; even the GTA Vice City and GTA Vice City Stories renditions are significantly different from each other, as the GTA Vice City Stories Sentinel appears less like its high performance counterpart, the [[Sentinel XS]]. | The Sentinel resembles a [[wp:BMW 5 Series (E39)|1996-2003 BMW 5 Series]] sedan (most likely a 528i, based on the power and size) in GTA III and GTA Liberty City Stories.

The GTA Advance rendition | The GTA Advance rendition does not appear to have a clear source of inspiration for its design, but retains its slender 4-door sedan. While the car isn't generally associated with any gang, the GTA Advance rendition is an exception, serving a gang car for an unspecified mafia in the game, taking over the role of the [[Mafia Sentinel]], the mafia variant of the Sentinel. | ||
[[Beta Releases#Grand Theft Auto III|Prior to the release of GTA III]], the Sentinel was named the "'''[[Beamer]]'''", a common misspelling of the "Bimmer" nickname for BMW cars. [[Beamer|A car of this name]] was previously featured in [[Grand Theft Auto 2]], and was also based on a BMW. Meanwhile, a "Sentinal" was also in the process of development, appearing as a modern, rounded car that would go on to become the [[Kuruma]]. Both beta cars can be found in the [[Capital Autos]] website. | [[Beta Releases#Grand Theft Auto III|Prior to the release of GTA III]], the Sentinel was named the "'''[[Beamer]]'''", a common misspelling of the "Bimmer" nickname for BMW cars.
