BMW i3 Carbonight
BMW’s special edition releases for their
100th birthday continue with a limited production version of the i3 electric
city car for Japan.
Whereas the i3 MR Porter
Edition that was announced in February for the UK did bring some unique
features highlighted by the Tuxedo Blue exterior paint with white accents,
Japan’s i3 Carbonight Celebration Edition that’s based on the range-extender
model adds nothing other than a numbered plate inside.
Everything else you see on the car can
be ordered / had on any regular i3, from the 20-inch alloy wheels to the LED
headlights and non-metallic ‘Fluid Black’ hue with blue highlights.
To somewhat justify its existence and
‘special edition' moniker, BMW Japan throws in a Carbon iPhone Cover Case
together with Harman / Kardon AURA STUDIO wireless home speaker system plus an
offer to install charging equipment for the car at your home for free.
Prices in Japan start from 5,980,000 Yen
(US$ 55,300) or about 500,000 Yen (US$ 4,600) more than the base i3 Rex.
