BMW South Africa has announced specifications and pricing for its 3 Series Mzansi Edition. See what’s on offer, plus pricing for this model.

After the BMW X3 Mzansi Edition was introduced, another bread-and-butter model from the Munich-based brand has been launched. This is the BMW 3 Series Mzansi Edition, a derivative that’s loaded with additional content and features that combine to offer more value.

Visually, the 3 Series Mzansi Edition from BMW features the M Sport package with M High-gloss Shadow Line detailing for the kidney grille frame and grille as standard. There are also BMW M carbon mirror caps and BMW Individual Lights in Shadow Line.

The bold high-gloss black front splitter with carbon fibre is striking and will set the Mzansi Edition apart from its standard BMW 3 Series siblings.

BMW has made the glow grille available for this special edition. Previously it was only available in the BMW X6, and it features LED backlighting that illuminates when you lock and unlock the vehicle.

Other noteworthy visual additions include the red BMW M Sport brake callipers, 19-inch M light-alloy wheels, LED door projectors and high-gloss black side sill inserts. The exhaust tailpipes are finished in black chrome trim and there’s a high-gloss black rear diffuser and a carbon fibre rear spoiler for additional visual punch.

Inside, the cabin features Sensatec and Alcantara upholstery with contrast stitching, M seatbelts, BMW Live Cockpit Professional, ambient lighting and a glass sunroof.

Customers can choose from 5 colours: Portimao Blue, Black Sapphire Metallic, Mineral Grey Metallic, Mineral White Metallic and Alpine White. There are three engines available, the 318i with 115 kW / 250 Nm, 320i with 135 kW and 300 Nm and the 320d which produces 140 kW and 400 Nm. Every derivative comes with an 8-speed automatic gearbox with paddle shifters on the steering wheel.
