BMW Launches Special Editions for Japan

If you're looking to get your hands on the latest special edition BMWs, you're going to need to move to Japan, because these limited-production specials are dedicated exclusively to the Japanese Domestic Market.

The latest to join the catalog is the 120i Performance Unlimited, which comes equipped with the 170-horsepower 2-liter four with a six-speed automatic and a variety of M-Sport components, from the bumpers and blacked-out grille to the 18-inch split-five-spoke rims and carbon fiber spoiler and wing mirror housings, along with an upgraded interior. Only 30 examples will be made, each carrying a ¥4,350,000 ($50k) price tag and available exclusively in white or blue.

The special 1 Series follows in the footsteps of the BMW X6 Performance Unlimited and the Mini Savile Row edition announced a few weeks ago. The special X6 is powered by the company's twin-turbo 3-liter hybrid inline-six with an eight-speed transmission, complimented by special aero package, wheels and interior. Available exclusively in silver in a limited run of 20 examples with a ¥9,450,000 ($107k) price tag.

Finally the Mini Savile Row pays homage to London's famous tailoring quarter in jet black with chrome wheels and trim and an array of optional extras thrown in as standard for ¥3,100,000 ($35k), of which 100 examples will be offered.
