BMW offer this special edition X3 for sale in the Land of the Rising Sun
to a few lucky aficionados, as only 200 like it will be manufactured.
Entitled the X3 "Blackout Edition", is the 9th in a series of
special cars made to commemorate the Bavarian firm’s centenary, and it’s
described as a cool, urban automobile that unifies the interior and the
exterior in harmony with the same shade of black.
Built
upon the 2-litre, four-cylinder 181 Hp and 380 Nm of torque
xDrive20d model, mated to a ZF 8-speed transmission, the X3 features a black
sapphire exterior body, while the cabin is
adorned in Black Nevada leather seats and Ansorajitto Roof lining. The
only contrasting elements on the entire car are the brushed aluminum interior
trims and aluminum pedals, probably made to “lighten” the dark atmosphere.
Additional
equipment includes the exterior M Sport Package, which adds a little bit of
sportiness to the sinister-looking car, HiFi speaker system, and Blackout
dedicated equipment (which includes an engraved interior plaque and leather key
cases).
It
can be acquired beginning with August 6th for ¥ 6,980,000. That’s around US$ 67,879.
