BMW is celebrating 50 years of the 3 Series with a special edition sedan, the 3 Series 50 Jahre Edition, based on the M340i xDrive with a six-cylinder petrol engine.
Priced at $127,600 before on-road costs, only 50 units will be available in Australia with unique features like BMW Individual Anthracite Metallic exterior paint and limited-edition build plate.
The M340i xDrive features a 3.0-litre turbo-six engine with 285kW of power, 500Nm of torque, and accelerates from 0-100km/h in 4.4 seconds.
The 3 Series, now in its seventh generation, remains BMW's best-selling model in Australia, with over 191,000 registrations since its inception, even surpassing the X3 and X5 SUVs in popularity.
