BMW 3 Series Turns 50, Limited Jahre Edition Unveiled

BMW 3 Series initially hit the road in 1975, replacing the BMW 02 series. It has since grown into one of the globe's top-selling luxury cars across seven generations and is generally regarded as having created the compact executive sedan segment that still leads markets worldwide.

To commemorate five decades of the legendary 3 Series, BMW has launched limited-edition cars across the globe. For India, the company has launched the BMW 330Li M Sport '50 Jahre' Edition and the BMW M340i '50 Jahre' Edition at ₹64 lakh and ₹76.9 lakh (ex-showroom) respectively. Both anniversary editions are being produced in just 50 units each, which defines their exclusivity.
