BMW India recently rolled out a petrol 220i Black Shadow Edition priced at Rs 43.50 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). The interior and the engine under the hood of this model remain unchanged from the standard 220i model. But from the host of new design elements over the standard model, cosmetic changes, and various offers this special edition gets, here are the top seven highlights.

1. Two shade options

This 220i Black Shadow Edition is based on the 2 Series Gran Coupe but gets a distinctive visual appeal to stand out. Firstly, it's available in two exterior paint shade options — Alpine White and Black Sapphire.

2. Black Accents

Secondly, the sedan gets a Black Shadow Edition kit, which adds a blacked-out mesh-pattern grille, black wing mirror caps, darkened chrome exhaust pipe finishers, and even a gloss-black boot lip spoiler.

3. Special wheels

Then, the car rides on new 18-inch forged alloy wheels, which are equipped with floating hubcaps from BMW’s M Performance parts.

4. Exclusive Price

The carmaker says this Black Shadow Edition kit costs Rs 3.25 lakh if bought separately. But buyers of the first 24 units can avail of it at a premium of just Rs 1.6 lakh over the regular 220i M Sport version.

5. Limited edition

Specced with the brand's special individualisation content including individual high-gloss shadow line package and with parts from its M Performance catalogue, this one's a special edition. But then again, by limiting it to just 24 units with a special price, BMW has only added to its exclusivity.
