BMW India has launched a special edition of its entry-level sedan, the 2 Series Gran Coupe. Dubbed the Black Shadow Edition, it’s based on the top-spec 220d M Sport variant and is priced at Rs 42.30 lakh (ex-showroom). The special edition is limited to just 24 units and can be booked online from December 7.

The Black Shadow Edition carries a premium of Rs 90,000 over the 220d M Sport, which it is based on.

Locally produced at BMW’s plant in Chennai, the Black Shadow Edition gets additional M Performance parts worth Rs 2.5 lakh. These include multiple additions to the exterior starting with a blacked-out mesh grille and matte black Y-spoke 18-inch alloy wheels. It gets an M Performance rear spoiler which also comes in gloss black and tailpipes finished in, you guessed it, black. Besides, the side mirror gets black caps and the wheels get a floating hub cap where the logo remains level at all times. It is offered in two body colours: white and metallic black.

The theme continues on the inside as well with a black colour scheme for the upholstery. The feature list remains largely the same, with a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay, ambient lighting, panoramic sunroof, 10.25-inch digital driver’s display, BMW digital key, and BMW gesture control. Safety features on offer include ABS with brake assist, six airbags, traction control, cornering brake control, and dynamic stability control.

Under the hood, it is powered by the same 2.0-litre four-cylinder diesel engine found in the 220d and 220d M Sport variants. It sends 190PS and 400Nm to the front wheels via an 8-speed automatic transmission. It has a top speed of 233kmph and can go from 0 to 100kmph in a nifty 7.5 seconds.
