The 3 series turns the Big Five-OH in 2025. Of course, BMW pulls out all stops to celebrate the milestone. We have already seen several regional special editions, and now it is the turn of a 50 -year version of South Africa. Available as 320i or as a hot M340i, both nostalgic colors receive tribute to the past.
Aegean Blue and British Racing Green remember the E36, while Stratus Gray channel the spirit of the E46. BMW South Africa also offers Lime Rock Gray to honor the F30. Apart from these striking colors, the special mousins are equipped with tailor -made interior failures. The 320i in the British racing green, for example, has cognac-fermented perforated artificial leather, while the six-cylinder model is improved to real black leather with contrasting seams.
By default, the 320i is equipped with the M sports package with shiny black accents. Both versions of the 50 years 3 series have aluminum cladding, a crystal-like gear voter, 19-inch wheels and the adaptive M-suspension. The standard kit also includes a Harman Kardon -Surround sound system, comfort access, parking assistant plus and specialist aid professional.
BMW strictly limits production to just 50 cars. Yes, one for every year since the 3 Series on the Frankfurt Motor Show from 1975 debut. The pricing begins at R1.067,730 for the 320i, while the M340i is listed under 1,422,607.30 RR R.
The decision of BMW to celebrate the 3 -century of the 3 Series in South Africa makes sense in view of the strong local ties. Generations two to six were gathered in the factory in Rosslyn, which has been built worldwide worldwide worldwide in the past five decades.
Local production ended in February 2018 after 35 years with a total of 1,191,604 units in the country, including special iconic versions such as 333i and 325is. Plant Rosslyn is busy nowadays by pumping out X3S into petrol, diesel and plug-in hybrid aromas.
