    Default Chinese M3 Tiger Edition

    Nice!

    On the Chinese Zodiac calendar, 2010 marks the year of the tiger. In celebration, BMW is building a special Chinese-market M3 Tiger Edition packing the same M3 punch with added visual growl.



    BMW hasn't officially announced the car yet but has confirmed its existence. So far, it looks as though the Tiger Edition will be limited purely to cosmetic tweaks. The front fascia of the Tiger Edition nearly mimics that of the M3 GTS, with blacked out kidney grilles and lower air intakes, and sporting the same Fire Orange Metallic color as the GTS. The Tiger Edition will ride on black 19-inch wheels with black chrome exhaust tips peering out the back like tiger eyes.

    The interior is perhaps the fiercest aspect of the M3 Tiger Edition. Black leather with contrasting orange stitching covers the seats, and the headrests feature embossed orange tiger's heads. The door sills also feature the orange Tiger Edition emblem.

    The M3 Tiger Edition will be powered by the same normally aspirated, 4.0-liter V-8 used across the M3 lineup (excluding the GTS) that produces 414 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque. It's unknown if the Tiger Edition will be offered with both a six-speed manual and BMW's seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, or limited to one option.

    Early reports indicate only 250 copies will be built, but the price is unknown. Official information on the car is expected to come from BMW in the next few weeks.

    Do you think BMW has taken the idea of special edition M3s too far with the Tiger Edition?

    Lose the wing on the back and it's good.

    I'd rock the hell out of it. I'd prolly eventually lose the wing, though.

    I'm usually not a wing person, but I think it flows with the car. The tiger logo on the seats would have to go though.

    Go to dealership, buy new M3, visit paint booth and interior shop, add shopping cart handle, spend less, look the same.

    You drive a Honda...you opinion of cars with wings or that can utilize such aerodynamic devices is null and void.

    You sir are right. However, my tastes for cars extends past Honda. This M3 is nice but not that nice.

    At least BMW put some effort into making this one look like an M3. Stock E90s look far too much like boring ass....too much like the plain 3-series. That wing is far from "shopping cart" style.

    Okay.....so I exaggerated the "shopping cart" idea but it was a point that I was trying to make in reference to the price of this likely being more than an M3 you can get here.

    No wing police here...just not a fan of wings. IMO, the wing doesn't help its looks in this case.

    It's just a bodykit. Nothing too special about that. This has nothing to do with appreciation, but more about following the money. Lambo, Ferrari, and Aston Martin all have a special China version of their top cars.

    An M3 with a wing. How exciting! If they're only making 250 of them they should make it worth the rarity.
