We rarely get to talk about the 4 Series Gran Coupe these days, and it\u2019s easy to see why. The five-door G26 has been around for about five years, and BMW seemingly isn\u2019t planning to replace it. Before Munich calls time on the 3 Series sedan\u2019s sleeker counterpart, it\u2019s rolling out a limited-run special edition. Exclusive to Japan, the Edition Shadow bundles a generous amount of standard equipment.<\/p>\n

It starts as the 420i\/420d with the M Sport Package and black accents, earning the Edition Shadow name. The most practical 4 Series of the three body styles combines a dark kidney grille with black side mirror caps and exhaust finishers. Customers can go a step further by ordering the Gran Coupe in Black Sapphire instead of this Fire Red<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If neither body color is your style, several other finishes are available at no extra cost. Buyers can pick from Alpine White, Cape York Green, M Brooklyn Grey, Mineral White, and M Portimao Blue. For more money, the Edition Shadow can be ordered in one of two Individual colors: Dravit Grey or Tanzanite Blue. Regardless of the paint choice, the 420i Gran Coupe gets 19-inch bi-color Y-spoke wheels.<\/p>\n

BMW Adds Plenty Of Standard Kit<\/h2>\n

BMW Japan throws in adaptive LED headlights and laser taillights, while the interior gets several upgrades as well. The 4 Series Gran Coupe Edition Shadow comes with either Black or Moca leather upholstery. Both are combined with heated front and rear seats, along with a heated steering wheel. Rounding out the upgrades are fine brushed-aluminum trim and galvanized buttons.<\/p>\n

BMW Japan is asking \u00a58,000,000 (about $49,300 at current exchange rates), or \u00a5360,000 ($2,200) more than a regular 420i M Sport. Alternatively, the special edition can also be had with a diesel engine. However, it costs more: \u00a58,500,000 ($52,400), representing a \u00a5300,000 ($1,800) premium over the 420d M Sport.<\/p>\n
