The car's 4.4-liter twin-turbocharged V8 will reach a top speed of 189 mph.
This rare bird – just 13 examples are being made – comes with model-specific 20-inch black lightweight alloy wheels, extra
carbon-fiber exterior trim, and a BMW twin kidney grille in a special
black chrome finish.
On the inside, the car sports Merino Black leather upholstery with yellow contrast stitching to match
the exterior (more on this in a moment) plus carbon-fiber trim on the dashboard, steering wheel,
and shifter. All that plus a 16-speaker, 1,200-watt Bang & Olufsen sound system.
What are the reasons not to rush down to your local showroom, checkbook in hand?
The edition comes only in one color, something BMW calls "Austin Yellow." That may
or may not be a deal breaker, even if you can afford the hefty $211,000 price
tag.
And did we mention that the car is available exclusively in Japan, though, curiously, BMW is making only a left hand drive version.
