Exclusive Release: BMW Canada Introduces Limited Edition M340i 50 Jahre — Just 100 Units Available

BMW Canada is celebrating a significant milestone with the launch of the 2026 BMW M340i xDrive 50 Jahre Edition, a special limited-edition model created to honor 50 years of the iconic 3 Series. Limited to just 100 units, each car combines the exceptional performance of the M340i with subtle references to the rich history of the 3 Series over the past five decades.

Six Generations, Six Colors

Each 50 Jahre Edition is painted in a color associated with a specific generation of the 3 Series. The color palette includes Madeira Red Metallic, Laguna Green Metallic, Avus Blue Metallic, Carbon Black Metallic, Deep Green Metallic, and Citrin Black Metallic. These colors, all part of BMW’s Individual catalog, establish a visual connection between this commemorative model and its predecessors, spanning from the E21 to the current G20.

The 50 Jahre Edition stands out with distinctive features such as 20-inch forged M Performance wheels, style 795M finished in Ferric Grey, an M Performance exhaust system, and BMW Individual Merino leather upholstery. Details like the “3 Series 50 Jahre Edition” door sills and the metal plaque on the cupholder cover add a touch of exclusivity to this special edition.

B58 Power, No Gimmicks

Unchanged under the hood is the formidable B58 3.0-liter inline-six engine, a standout powerplant in BMW’s modern lineup. Renowned for its smoothness, torque delivery, and responsiveness, the B58 engine continues to define the M340i as a perfect blend of daily usability and thrilling driving dynamics when desired. Teamed with xDrive all-wheel drive, it provides a well-balanced driving experience that appeals to a wide range of drivers.

Since its introduction in 1975, the 3 Series has gone through six generations while maintaining a consistent focus on driving balance and feel. The 50 Jahre Edition respects this legacy and does not deviate from the formula that has made the 3 Series one of BMW’s most iconic models.

Coming from the Munich Plant

Production of the M340i xDrive 50 Jahre Edition will commence in Germany in November 2025, with deliveries slated to start in early 2026. Each vehicle will come with a numbered production plaque, underscoring its exclusivity in the Canadian market. Given its limited production and historical significance, this model is likely to become a sought-after collectible among enthusiasts.
