UK Receives New 3-series and 1-series London 2012 Performance Editions
BIMMERPOST NEWS UK Receives New 3-series and 1-series London 2012 Performance Editions The new BMW London 2012 Performance Editions To celebrate BMW’s sponsorship of the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, and inspired by the BMW London 2012 Performance Team, BMW has introduced two new Performance Edition models based on the popular BMW 1 Series and 3 Series. Building on the sporting looks of the popular 1 Series Sports Hatch, the 1 Series Performance Edition comes with M aerodynamic bodystyling, dark chrome 18-inch M light alloy wheels, High-gloss Shadowline exterior trim, dark chrome exhaust tailpipe and dark line rear lights. Enhancing its sporty driving style is the addition of M Sport Suspension, while sport seats with Royal Blue stitching, M Sport multi-function leather steering wheel and gearshift leaver, floor mats with Royal Blue piping and London 2012 exterior badges complete the sporty look. Available on the 116i, 116d and 118d three- and five-door models, the BMW 1 Series Performance Edition costs just £1,500 more than the equivalent ES model, representing a saving for customers of £1,725. Prices start at £19,530 OTR for a BMW 116i Performance Edition three-door. The BMW 3 Series Saloon is also getting a Performance Edition revision. Available on the 318i and 318d, the BMW 3 Series Performance Edition will gain an M aerodynamic body kit, M sport multi-function leather steering wheel, sport seats, floor mats with blue piping, 18-inch light alloy wheel, chrome exhaust finisher and London 2012 exterior badges, making the BMW 3 Series a winner in the style race. The BMW 3 Series Performance Edition costs just £500 more than the equivalent 3 Series ES Saloon, saving customers a substantial £2,030. Prices start at £23,195 OTR for the BMW 318i Performance Edition Saloon. The BMW Performance Editions are available in a choice of four colours; Alpine White, Titanium Silver, Bluewater and Black Sapphire, and are on sale now. Chosen by London 2012 as the Official Automotive Partner, BMW’s sustainability credentials will help London 2012 deliver a sustainable Games. As part of the partnership, BMW will supply a range of Efficient Dynamic diesel cars, hybrids and electric vehicles, achieving average CO2 emissions below the LOCOG target of 120g/km, as well as bicycles and motorcycles. The BMW London 2012 Performance Team will also benefit by being provided with vehicles to support them in their preparation for the Games. |

So they're putting "London 2012" badges on a 2011 3er?
This makes total sense...

Small diesel engines are not my idea of performance car motors.

I've got one of these on the drive.
Very thirsty car - more than my 325i (3.0l) when spirited driving, but ALOT less power. Sounds very good though, looks even better. |

You can tell by comments who is american and pays little to no money for fuel and who lives in Europe where A/C and cupholders still are an option to be paid extra for.

They complain over the 6 GC pricing (about 110.000 USD) With that kind of cash, you'll be getting a E91 320XD with some extras here. (Norway) I consider leasing the 116D as my gf car, not sure if it will take two small kids though..?
