Celebration Overload: BMW Rolls Out Three More Specials In Japan

As it is blowing 100 candles this year, BMW continues to celebrate with more Japan-only anniversary editions.

New to the lineup is the 3-Series Celebration Edition Style Edge, offered in both sedan and Touring guises, equipped with exclusive kidney grille and alloy wheels that are joined by special interior trim and a variety of sporty equipment. Powered by “a new generation of clean diesel engines”, as BMW explains, it will be limited to just 400 units, nationwide, each priced at 5.77 million yen ($51,980).

Joining the special 3-Series family is yet another model, dubbed BMW 330s Celebration Edition, available in Tanzanite Blue solely and sitting on 19-inch BMW Individual wheels. Inside, it benefits from Opal White-finished Merino leather, piano black trim, leather-wrapped dashboard, Harman Kardon audio system head-up display and an individually numbered plaque, stating that only 100 cars will be produced. Prices for this model start at 6.78 million yen ($61,080).

The front-wheel drive 2-Series Active Tourer has gained a Celebration Edition too, the Fashionista, which is only available as a 218i, powered by a 1.5-liter three-banger, with 136 HP, mated to a six-speed automatic gearbox. Customers will get to choose between three exterior colors for the MPV that rides on 17-inch rims and comes with beige synthetic leather upholstery, heated front seats, automatic air-con, parking sensors, reverse camera and handsfree-operated tailgate. The special 2-Series will be produced in 400 units and will set you back for 3.98 million yen ($35,855).
