BMW M3 Competition Package for Japan

The series of special edition BMW M3 models continues, this time in Japan, with the release of the M3 Competition Package for the local market. Wrapped in the same Fire Orange paint which adorns the Tiger Edition in China, the special model comes with several unique tweaks.

The car features 359M styling wheels, 19 inches in size and painted black, black painted air intakes on the bonnet, black kidney grills and chrome exhaust tips. On the interior, the car comes with carbon fiber trim, which matches the exterior mirrors, which are housed in carbon fiber coverings.

The model is powered by a 4.0l V8 engine that develops 420 hp, paired to a BMW M dual clutch transmission.

As you can see, the special edition intended for Japan is pretty much the same as the Tiger one created for China. Unlike the Chinese version thought, there's no word yet on how many vehicles will be built, nor any indication on how much it would cost.

The M3 Competition Package for Japan is the last in a line of special edition Ms released this year. It all started with the highly successful BMW M3 Frozen Gray Coupe, sold in the US, continued with the BMW M3 Frozen Edition meant for South Africa and ended with the Tiger Edition for China.

More details of the Japanese special M3 will be announced soon. We are also likely to get more exclusive versions of the M3 as we approach the year's end. Stay tuned for more exciting updates on the M3.
