BMW has released pricing for the new M3 30 Jahre special edition in the United Kingdom.

Designed to celebrate 30 years since the original M3 E30 was introduced, it builds upon the M3 Competition Package and will be available in only 30 examples in the right-hand drive market, each priced at £82,675 ($120,840).

It has the same performance figures as the M3 Competition Package gaining an extra 19 HP to 444 HP with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission driving the rear wheels. Nought to 100km/h (62mph) comes in 4.0 seconds, while top speed is still electronically capped at 155 mph (250 km/h).

Setting it apart from the regular model with the Competition Package are an exclusive Frozen Silver metallic paint, 20-inch M light alloy wheels wrapped in 265/30 front and 285/30 rear rubber, special exterior badging and carbon fiber-made splitter, mirror caps, rear spoiler and diffuser.

Inside, the M3 30 Jahre (M3 30 Years) receives special embossed logos on the front seat headrests, carbon fiber trim, black and blue Merino leather upholstery, Alcantara-wrapped steering wheel and gear selector surround and “30 Jahre M3” logos on the door sill finishers.
