BMW launches 1 Series Shadow Edition
Special variants bring additional kit for no additional costBMW Australia has announced a new Shadow Edition for two variants of the 1 Series hatch.
Available in showrooms from early 2019, the 118i Shadow Edition and 125i Shadow Edition lend the enduring rear-drive hatchback added sportiness, thanks to some dark-themed appointments inside and out.
Pricing for the 118i Shadow Edition starts at $39,900 drive away, while the 125i Shadow Edition is priced at $49,900 drive away – identical to the prices attached to the regular 118i and 125i donor models.
The changes begin with double spoke 18-inch alloy wheels finished in Jet Black or black and silver ‘BiColour’, then extend to an LED lighting package, high gloss trim in place of chrome along the windows, and dark exterior elements on the grille, headlight inserts, tail lights and black chrome tail pipes.
Inside, the package adds a chunky M Sport steering wheel, figure-hugging sports seats, wireless phone charging and a dark roof headliner. Cloth seats remain standard for the 118i, while the 125i Shadow Edition differentiates itself with leather seats.
The mechanicals of either model go unchanged, comprising a 100kW/220Nm 1.5-litre turbo-triple in the 118i, and a 165kW/310Nm 2.0-litre turbo-four in the 125i.
In addition to the Shadow Edition, BMW is offering a new Style Plus Package for the regular 118i and 125i. Priced at $2900, the package adds an electric sunroof and metallic paint, along with leather seats in the 118i and a harmon-kardon surround system on the 125i.
The Shadow Editions land in showrooms from early next year.
