Offered in limited quantities, the cars come with an assortment of visual tweaks inside and out along with a rich list of standard equipment to entice customers. The smallest of the bunch is based on the 1 Series, specifically on the hotter M135i xDrive. It\u2019s called the Prism Twilight Purple Edition and follows the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2022\/04\/16\/bmw-m135i-prism-special-edition\/\">Signal Green<\/a>, Speed Yellow, and Imola Red previously offered on the local market earlier in 2022.<\/p>\n<p>As the name implies, the performance hatchback is dressed to impress in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2021\/08\/04\/bmw-m340i-in-twilight-purple-the-perfect-color\/\">Twilight Purple<\/a> but combined with a series of black accents. These are noticeable on the kidney grille, side mirror caps, and some of the trim pieces, while the 19-inch wheels have a two-tone finish. BMW is making only 17 cars and is charging 62.4 million won, which works out to roughly $44,000 at current exchange rates.<\/p>\n<p><noscript><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-435068\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/P90479672_highRes_bmw-korea-to-release-830x467.jpg\" alt=\"P90479672 highRes bmw korea to release 830x467\" width=\"830\" height=\"467\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/P90479672_highRes_bmw-korea-to-release-830x467.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/P90479672_highRes_bmw-korea-to-release-1820x1024.jpg 1820w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/P90479672_highRes_bmw-korea-to-release-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/P90479672_highRes_bmw-korea-to-release-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/P90479672_highRes_bmw-korea-to-release.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\" title=\"image of P90479672 highRes bmw korea to release 830x467\"\/><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-medium wp-image-435068\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20830%20467%22%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/P90479672_highRes_bmw-korea-to-release-830x467.jpg\" alt=\"P90479672 highRes bmw korea to release 830x467\" width=\"830\" height=\"467\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/P90479672_highRes_bmw-korea-to-release-830x467.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/P90479672_highRes_bmw-korea-to-release-1820x1024.jpg 1820w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/P90479672_highRes_bmw-korea-to-release-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/P90479672_highRes_bmw-korea-to-release-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/P90479672_highRes_bmw-korea-to-release.jpg 1920w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\" title=\"image of P90479672 highRes bmw korea to release 830x467\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Up next is a car with an unusually long name \u2013 M3 Competition Sedan Sao Paulo Yellow Edition.
