BMW unveils the Z4 sDrive35is Mille Miglia Limited Edition

BMW claimed first, third, fifth and sixth at the Mille Miglia race with its 328 back in 1940, and the German carmakers are honouring the seventieth anniversary of that triumph by launching the Z4 sDrive35is Mille Miglia Limited Edition.

The car is a product of BMW's Italian section, and only 99 units will be produced and sold in Italy. Based on the standard Z4 sDrive35is, which has a 3.0-litre twin-turbocharged straight-six engine that produces 340bhp, the Mille Miglia edition features an M Sports aerodynamics package and 19-inch alloy wheels in a dark chrome shade, while the body is finished in a matte silver colour called 'Polaris'.

Other additions include the 'Mille Miglia' badges and the matte black kidney grilles, while the interior comes with sports seats covered in Alcantara and leather with contrasting red stitching. The car also gets an M Sport steering wheel, unique floor mats, 'Mille Miglia' badges and special decorative trim.
