BMW announces the Serie 5 Edition Sport and more equipment for the Serie 2 and i8

BMW has a generous range of new features ready for several of its models, which will launch next March. The main one will be an expanded list of engines available for the Serie 2, Serie 3 and Serie 4, but there will also be new equipment for the Serie 2 coupé and convertible and the i8, as well as a new special edition for the Serie 5.

We’ll start with the latter: it is called the Edition Sport, and BMW has not yet confirmed whether it will be sold in Spain. This edition can be combined with almost all versions of the Serie 5 except the M550d xDrive from M Performance. It is equipped with specific options that accentuate the more dynamic side of the model, both in its four-door body and in the Touring estate.

The Serie 5 Edition Sport offers LED fog lights, the Shadow Line Individual package (which includes various body parts painted in gloss black), 18-inch wheels with double spokes, and a sport steering wheel trimmed in leather. In addition to this edition, the model will receive two new metallic exterior colours compatible with the M Sport package: Mediterranean Blue and Mineral Grey. The Serie 5 Gran Turismo will also inherit in the coming months the metallic Kashmir Silver already available on the saloon and Touring.

Those interested in the Serie 2 Coupé and Cabrio will find, within two months, new lines to personalise the model, as well as new equipment elements. Both body styles will benefit from additional wheel designs and a function on the instrument cluster that displays current fuel consumption. The Coupé already has other changes, such as a new indicator designed for sporty driving, which shows engine output and its use, or the Professional navigation system, whose maps can be updated by connecting it to a mobile phone.

The add-ons that will not be within everyone’s reach are those designed for the i8. The plug-in hybrid sports car will be updated in March with a new interior design based on Carpo Carum light grey, which will contrast with the i-blue stitching and the metallic inserts spread throughout the cabin. BMW will also offer the Pure Impulse Experience programme, which includes various products related to culture, design, gastronomy and travel. A leather cover for the engine and black brake calipers will be added soon.
