BMW India has rolled out special ‘50 Jahre’ Editions of the 3 Series Long Wheelbase (330Li M Sport) and the M340i to celebrate 50 years of the 3 Series globally.

The BMW 330Li M Sport ‘50 Jahre’ Edition is priced at INR 64 lakh (ex-showroom) and features aesthetic enhancements such as the Shadowline package, blacked-out grille, window surrounds, diffuser, and tailpipes. A distinctive ‘1/50’ laser-engraved badge on the B-pillar underscores its exclusivity.

Powering the sedan is a 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbo-petrol engine producing 255 bhp and 400 Nm, enabling it to sprint from 0–100 kmph in 6.2 seconds. Customers can choose from Mineral White, Skyscraper Grey, and M Carbon Black exterior shades.
The BMW M340i ‘50 Jahre’ Edition, priced at INR 76.90 lakh (ex-showroom), remains the fastest locally built BMW, achieving 0–100 kmph in just 4.4 seconds.

Visual updates include ‘50 Jahre’ insignia, gloss black M badging, Jet Black 19-inch alloys, red M Sport brake calipers, and bespoke hubcaps. Inside, it features Vernasca leather upholstery with M highlights, sport seats, carbon fibre trim, and BMW’s signature curved display.
