BMW is celebrating its 100th anniversary throughout 2016 and in doing so it has unveiled a few of special edition models. The “luckiest” country in this regard was Japan which was seemingly bombarded with bespoke versions of otherwise normal cars. Now Australia is also joining in. BMW enthusiasts from the land Down Under can now order the BMW 330i and 430i 100 Year Edition Models.

The two models come with a specific configuration created by BMW to put them in a different league. Compared to a standard 330i or 430i, the price tags go up by AUD9,000 to  AUD13,000 ($6,700 to $9,700) but you get a bespoke model which was adorned with the BMW Individual treatment. Both the 3 Series and 4 Series can be had in exclusive 100 Year Edition guise based on the Luxury Line or the M Sport Line.
