With production of the current generation of BMW 3-series sedan winding down—a new sedan is just around the corner—BMW has announced a very reasonably priced Performance Edition package as a send-off during the months of August, September, and October.
The package costs $550; of highest interest is an output boost from the stock 300 hp and 300 lb-ft of torque to 320 and 332. It also adds black grilles and grille surrounds, as well as Performance Edition badging. Since the bundle is dealer-installed, it’s available for any rear-wheel-drive 335i coupe or sedan, regardless of gearbox. Folks who already own an N55-powered 335i can even bring their car in for an upgrade, too. BMW hasn’t said whether the package would continue to be offered for the E92 3-series coupe (which will carry on for at least a year) after the new sedan debuts.
For a company that charges $500 for heated front seats, this is a great deal—and perhaps even enough to stave off buyer’s remorse when the new car arrives.
