  • BMW Releases a Special Limited-Run Tourer Model For Italy and Japan

    BMW 320d xDrive Touring 40 Years EditionThere is a special limited BMW vehicle, heading for Italy and Japan. It would be a celebration for the 40 years of the model’s launch back in 1975. Back in these years the 3-series was offered as a compact two-door sedan, with rear-wheel-drive and was powered by a petrol engine. But nowardays, the 320d xDrive Touring 40 Years Edition comes with 4×4 system and a diesel powereplant. And I forgot to mention that there will be only 100 created. So, if you do like this ride, better hurry up with the purchase.

    Bold and aggressive, the vehicle really looks like it learnt a lot for 40 years. The elegant, yet striking lines fit perfectly the badass-looking front, while the special wheels further enhance the powerful appearance of the special edition.

    But this is not all. For its 40th anniversary the car will be geared with a special M Sport package that includes 19-inch alloy wheels, further enhanced brakes, Tanzanite blue metallic body paint. On the other hand, the interior offers hi-tech gadgets, sporty steering wheel and piano black details on the front console.

    And when we talk about a BMW vehicle, we must say something about the drivetrain system. All the 100 units are geared with a special 2.0-liter diesel unit that delivers a total of 190 hp (140 kW) that works in perfect harmony with the exclusive 8-speed automatic gearbox with paddle shifters.

    So, we can presume that Italian and Japanese people are the luckiest as it comes to BMW vehicles. Still, we wonder why a well-known and loved German brand didn’t release such a vehicle in its own country.
