BMW 3 Series Coupe/Cabrio Edition Exclusive & M Sport Edition

From autumn 2011, the BMW 3 Series Coupé and BMW 3 Series Convertible will be available in Edition Exclusive and M Sport Edition guises. Precisely coordinated design features and equipment options offer customers the chance to add striking emphasis to either the sophisticated or the dynamic side of their car’s character. A BMW Individual hardtop in contrasting paint finish is available for the first time for the BMW 3 Series Convertible. And the BMW 320d EfficientDynamics Edition Touring will also be available in Exclusive and Lifestyle special editions. Edition Exclusive Model Highlights:

• 18-inch V-spoke light-alloy wheels painted in Space Grey
• Exclusive exterior paint shade Mineral Grey (or any one of the other color variants offered as standard or as an option)
• Exterior mirror caps in Oxide Silver
• Dakota leather can be ordered in the exclusive Pearl Grey with grey contrast stitching, or in Black with white contrast stitching.
• Floor mats with color coordinated piping
• Interior trim strips in Bamboo Grain Anthracite
• Chrome door sill strips with “Edition” lettering

M Sport Edition Model Highlights:

• Exclusive Silverstone paint finish (from the BMW M3)
• 18" Ferric Grey light-alloy wheels in double-spoke design
• BMW Individual High Gloss Shadow Line window recess finishers
• Black-painted exterior mirrors
• Rear apron with integrated sports diffuser painted in body color
• M rear spoiler as an option.
• Sports seats with M detailing, an M Sport steering wheel, stainless steel pedals and an M aluminium driver’s footrest
• Dakota leather seat covers with blue contrast stitching and special “M” piping
• Model-specific interior strips in Aluminium Glacier Silver dark

Contrasting Hardtop Color Option for E93 Convertible:

• Folding roof available in contrasting Black or Titanium Silver metallic and can be combined with a total of 15 different body paint finishes
• Can also be specified in conjunction with the M Sport package and for the BMW M3 Convertible.

New RTTI:

• the new Real-Time Traffic Information (RTTI) function from BMW ConnectedDrive delivers a whole new level of reliability and precision when it comes to identifying, conveying and utilising the car’s current traffic situation. The result is a faster and more effective calculation of routes and, if necessary, diversions.

why is the roof a different colour?!

[gmtm02]

If Bruno would like it (the sascha baron cohen borat guy) then Germans would like it...

I thought that white-top 330i had protective tape on the roof and then I realized that it's the paint! Yuck.

[Nandrega]

contrasting roof was a horrible idea..Honestly curious as to how that made it out of their conference room. M Sport package looks good as always, though i'm a bit iffy on that diffuser.

I want to know more about the new RTTI. Is that different than what is in the '11 models? Will all post-Sept '11 builds get this new RTTI?

[carl_d]

white roof = MINI madness on a E93. No!

[E90MCF]

The new style FTL

[GuyOh]

cabrio looks retarded

[witeagle]

Love the look but not the change in roof color.

320d - diesel - would love to see more diesel options in the US...

This kind of RTTI isn't available in the US yet but BMW is planning to do so. For Europe, all post-Sept '11 builds will get it (it's not retrofittable as of now).


Best regards,

Don't like the roof at all on the E93.

[GOLFFRR]

lov'n the diesel

[andy c]

what wheels are on the 320d? and sizes etc..

[Lamboblue]

Blue on the floormats looks ridiculously out of place...
...and how many colours of paint do you need on various parts? Why have the body, roof, mirrors, and rims all painted different?.... Brutal

[andy c]
