Not another 3 Series from BMW?

BMW will take every opportunity to milk as much as they can from a single model and honestly, that has been proven well for them especially when it comes to the 3 Series. So yes, here are some new editions which may not make it to Malaysia but hey, it’s nice to look nice.

Called the Edition Sport Line Shadow, Edition Luxury Line Purity and Edition M Sport Shadow, these vehicles comes with at least some exclusivity, not just in name but equipment. And that matters the most. First of all, all of these models get the LED headlights as standard, something most Malaysians are privileged as BMW doesn’t offer the halogen light versions. You also get some unique colours, light-alloy wheels, interior trim strips and leather colours.

BMW says that you can get these models from July 2017 onwards on both the sedan and touring models.

Edition Sport Line Shadow: Characteristic sign of driving pleasure.

Design and equipment features that are clearly oriented towards characteristic BMW driving pleasure characterise the new Edition Sport Line Shadow. For example, the black inserts for the headlight assemblies and taillights set new and unmistakable accents. They distinctively highlight both the characteristically focused look of the headlamps as well as the brand-typical L shape of the rear light clusters. The surrounds of the BMW kidney grille and the inserts of the newly sculpted lower air ducts have also been given the colour black, whilst the exhaust tailpipes come in chrome black. In addition, the specific exterior of the BMW 3 Series Edition Sport Line Shadow comprises 18-inch light alloys in a double spoke design boasting the exclusive colour Jet Black.

The cockpit of the edition models offers the ideal prerequisites for a sporty driving experience. An instrument panel with a new, distinctive contrasting seam, an instrument cluster with upgraded features as well as the new sports steering wheel, the padding and surface of which ensure excellent feel and grip, provide for a classy and sportive ambience. The sports seats come in a fabric/leather combination, the interior trims in the new variant Dark Aluminium Carbon with accent strips in Pearl Gloss Chrome.

With the decision to purchase an Edition Luxury Line Purity, drivers of a BMW 3 Series Sedan or a BMW 3 Series Touring will express their fascination for premium quality, exclusive equipment options and individuality. The unmistakable appearance of these edition models is characterised by specific exterior features in satin-finished aluminium, which include the side windows, air duct inserts, slats and surrounds of the BMW kidney grille, the rear bumper cover and the exhaust tailpipes.
