Ultra-Rare BMW M3 And M4 Special Editions Announced... For Japan

Japan isn't the most obvious place for BMW to launch a 30-unit special edition run of its M3 and M4, but that won't stop us checking out the rather lovely M Heat Edition
Ultra-Rare BMW M3 And M4 Special Editions Announced... For Japan

BMW has reportedly announced a pair of special editions based on the M3 and M4, and they’re going to be super-rare.

The M3 and M4 M Heat editions will share the same set of upgrades. They’ll also share the slightly unfortunate combination of being limited to just 15 units each, and being sold only in Japan. Damn.

Both will be blessed with the Competition Package and a heap of carbonfibre M Division goodies spanning the front splitter, rear diffuser and mirror covers. The interior is a smorgasbord of Alcantara, because sporty, while the outside is yours in a striking – and unique – shade called Tanzanite Blue.

Naturally, there are plenty of badges describing the model’s limited-run status, and 20-inch alloy wheels are standard fare. These BMWs put us in mind of another Japan-only special edition we remember from the recent past; the gob-smacking Ferrari J50.

Thanks to Japan’s mighty import tax on foreign, large-engined cars, the money conversation starts at the equivalent of £89,680 for the M3 M Heat Edition and £91,260 for the M4 version. In the UK a Competition Package-equipped M3 with a manual gearbox starts at £61,580.

It’s a bit of a shame that we won’t see them in the UK, but at least these Japanese models will be right-hand drive, opening the door to a cheeky ‘grey import’ a few years down the line…

So, that creates a leeway for anyone to get the M3 normal edition and still have unlimited amounts of fun

Long story short, it’s only limited for the sake of being limited. Literally the only special things about it are a badge in the interior and a more or less interesting colour.

Tanzanite Blue is available for other countries so its not an exclusive colour for Japan.

Maybe because they wont say “meh, rather have a 3rd hand GTR” (Maybe a new one for that price!) OR “rather tune a insert chassis code of an over rated car…”

Wait…we are talking about the Japanese market, right? please ignore my comment.

Soooo, the only difference from a normal Comp Pack M3/4 is some carbon fibre bits and badges. But it costs around 150% of the normal car.

Shows the power of the “limited edition”
