BMW M3 Carbon Edition announced in China

The BMW M3 Carbon Edition showcases plenty of carbon fibre inside and out, almost giving the car an all-new look. The front end incorporates more aggressive carbon fibre side vents in the front bumper bar which draw air in to cool the brakes.

Other carbon details include a larger boot lip spoiler, bonnet vent surrounds and the carbon fibre roof. The exterior is also complimented by black painted 19-inch M3 wheels and two black stripes which run down the sides of the bonnet and continue down the side of the car, completing the white/black theme.

Inside, vast revisions have been made to the original M3 interior including some carbon fibre details and more of that white/black theme. A new panel makes its way onto the dash constructed of carbon, extending around to the door trims and into the rear seat compartment.

The front seat headrests also feature a unique carbon-pattern material weave to match rest of the carbon fibre highlights, while the door sill panels feature 'Carbon Edition' logos.

The BMW M3 Carbon Edition will only be sold in China, with just 111 planned to hit the market. They are expected to go quick, even though they are attached to a fairly hefty price tag of 1.23 million yuan (around $177,200).
