Nothing special, it is just a white M3 with black rims and gloss black grills. Looks good though

2011 BMW M3 Pure Edition for Australia

BMW Australia has announced the release of a limited edition BMW M3 Coupe and Sedan designed specifically for the Australian market aimed at the purist of driving enthusiasts.



The BMW M3 Pure Edition will be limited to just 100 units nationally – 50 units each of the sedan and coupe – and includes a range of performance enhancements to boost its appeal.

The most eye-catching of which are the 19-inch M Double-spoke light alloy wheels finished exclusively in Black High-Gloss with 245/35 R19 tyres up front and 265/35 R 19 tyres at the rear.

It also features a bonnet air intake in Black High-Gloss, BMW Individual kidney grille in Dark Chrome, BMW Individual side gills in Dark Chrome and BMW Individual exhaust tips in Dark Chrome.

The BMW M3 Pure Edition is offered in Alpine White or Black as standard, although buyers can select from any other colour in the BMW portfolio also at an additional cost.

Inside, the special edition model features a combination of Anthracite cloth and black leather sports seats with headrests crafted from black Novillo leather which are embossed with the BMW M symbol.

Under the bonnet resides the same high-revving V8 engine churning out 309kW and 400Nm.

Also featuring as standard – as with all BMW M3s – is the variable M differential lock which offers up to 100 per cent locking action with fully variable action whenever required – providing perfect traction for the rear wheels.

The BMW M3 Sedan Pure Edition and M3 Coupé Pure Edition with manual transmission are available to order from $135,000 and $148,300 respectively – excluding dealer delivery and other charges – with the first customer deliveries expected to begin early in 2011.

Mercedes offered something very similar with the C63 AMG earlier this year for the Australian market, I guess BMW Australia is just responding to MB.

This has to be the most ridiculous piece of marketing nonsense I have yet seen.

"........BMW Australia has announced the release of a limited edition BMW M3 Coupe and Sedan designed specifically for the Australian market aimed at the purist of driving enthusiasts."

......because what the purist of driving enthusiasts want is different coloured wheels and grills isn't it?


"........The BMW M3 Pure Edition will be limited to just 100 units nationally – 50 units each of the sedan and coupe – and includes a range of performance enhancements to boost its appeal."

What? Different coloured wheels and grills enhance performance? How can they get away with this nonsense?

its very similar to the M3 edition launched earlier, but damn it, who the hell comes up with a name such as "PURE EDITION"? Absolute cawkstand of a name.

 

[footie]

From a resale perspective I dislike limited editions because of the impact they have on the so called 'normal' version of the same car, which in this case is the M3. The fact that there are so many different versions kicking about means it will be a headache of dealers to price because I can just imagine what the next year's Glasses Guide will look like, 15 pages of different M3 limited edition models to guess as to which one is sitting on your forecourt.

Apart from this, I actually like the look of the version, though as mentioned already who in their right mind came up with the name 'Pure Edition'.

 

[Padi]

Ofc it looks nice but I'm quite fed up with these limited editions, there's so many we could do a poll 'bout which one is our favorite one. Bring the new one already!

 

[Nandoz]

I like this Model from BMW

 

[NarutoRamen]

I'm sad they didn't call this the "Kangaroo" edition. LOL

Notice the spelling mistake in the article:

aimed at the purist of driving enthusiasts.

The sentence, to be grammatically correct should read "...aimed at the purest of driving enthusiasts" where "purest" is the superlative adjective describing the driving enthusiast. Whereas, the word "purist" is a noun - describing someone with pure intentions.

So, if the writer wanted specific reference to the word "purist" then the context would be better like this: "...aimed at the driving enthusiast purist."

^^Hahaha...good catch Martin.
