In June this year, bmw had revealed that it will launch 10 distinctive ’50 Jahr M Edition’ variants in the product portfolio to mark 50 years of BMW’s M Performance division. The M340i and 6 Series were the first two cars to get the ’50 Jahre M Edition’ makeover, and now, it’s time for the 5 Series to get the same treatment.
BMW has launched the 5 Series ’50 Zahr M Edition’ in India for Rs 67.50 lakh. The special edition will only be offered with the 530i M Sport variant of the luxury sedan. Note that the standard BMW 530i M Sport It is priced at Rs 64.50 lakh (both prices, ex-showroom), which makes the 530i M Sport ’50 Jahre M Edition’ costlier by Rs 3 lakh.
So what exactly gets you the extra money? For starters, the 530i M Sport 50 Jahre M Edition comes with four exterior color options – Alpine White, Carbon Black, Phytonic Blue Bernina Gray Amber and Alpine White. Changes made to the standard 5 Series include dark LED headlamps, gloss black kidney grille and window surrounds, as well as 18-inch M Jet Black alloy wheels with red brake calipers.
