Oh Canada! BMW's Exclusive M440i xDrive Gran Coupe Legacy Edition Heads North
If you're a Canadian car enthusiast with a penchant for exclusive Bavarian metal, prepare to do your happy dance. BMW Group Canada just dropped a maple-syrup-sweet announcement: the introduction of the 2024 BMW M440i xDrive Gran Coupe Legacy Edition. Yes, you read that right. It's exclusive to Canada, eh!
This isn't just any 4 Series Gran Coupe. It's a limited-run, special-edition model that's as exclusive as a polite Canadian in a hockey riot. BMW is only making 300 of these beauties, each priced starting at a cool $81,750 CAD. But hey, exclusivity has its price, right?
A Symphony of Colors and Luxury
Now, let's talk about the eye candy. The Legacy Edition comes in six color combinations that are more diverse than a Toronto street festival. The first three — Black Sapphire over Black Vernasca Leather, Brooklyn Grey over Tacora Red Vernasca Leather, and Mineral White over Black Vernasca Leather — are limited to 75 units each. They're like the standard bearers of this special edition.
But wait, there's more! The other three color options — Violet Blue over Ivory White Merino Leather, Aurora Diamond Green over Tartufo Merino Leather, and Imola Red over Black Merino Leather — are limited to 25 units each and feature BMW Individual Manufaktur paints. This is where BMW's paint wizards show off their skills, blending colors with the finesse of a master chef.
Packed to the Brim with Features
Under the hood, the M440i xDrive Gran Coupe Legacy Edition is powered by BMW's award-winning B58 3.0-liter inline 6-cylinder engine, churning out a healthy 382 hp and 369 ft-lb of torque. It'll do 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.5 seconds, which is quicker than you can say "double-double" at a Tim Hortons drive-thru.
The car is loaded with goodies like the Premium Enhanced Package, M Sport Pro Package, Adaptive M Suspension, and yes, even heated seats for those chilly Canadian mornings. Plus, it's got carbon fiber interior trim for that sporty feel and wireless charging for, well, your wireless charging needs.
And for the audiophiles, the 75 units with Individual Manufaktur paints also get the BMW M Performance Exhaust. That's right, it's not just a feast for the eyes but for the ears as well.
Exclusively Canadian, Eh!
Production of this maple-leaf-adorned marvel starts in November 2023 at BMW Group Plant Dingolfing in Germany. If you're in Canada and you're drooling over this, contact your local BMW retailer. And do it quickly, because with only 300 units available, they'll be scarcer than a bad word at a curling match.
In summary, the 2024 BMW M440i xDrive Gran Coupe Legacy Edition is a testament to BMW's commitment to exclusivity and performance. It's like a poutine dish crafted by a gourmet chef – familiar, yet elevated to a whole new level of awesome. So, Canadian BMW enthusiasts, get ready to rev up those engines!
