BMW wants to celebrate the arrival of the 2012 Olimpic Games to London next year, so it put together a project to show its support. The new Performance Editions of the 1-Series (the old one) and 3-Series are inspired by the BMW London 2012 Performance Team.
Getting to the poin, the 1er Performance Edition is available on the 116i, 116d and 118d three- and five-door models and 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 on the outside. 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.
BMW 1 Series Performance Edition features 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 complement the interior. As you expected, it also gets London 2012 exterior badges.
The second model, BMW 3 Series four-door is also getting a Performance Edition to celebrate the Olympic Games. Available on the 118i and 118d, this model 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. Pricing for this one starts at £23,195 OTR for the BMW 318i.
Both cars can be ordered in each of these four colors: Alpine White, Titanium Silver, Bluewater and Black Sapphire.
