If there's another place on Earth where they love V8 sedans and coupes as much as Americans, surely it's Australia (http://www.autoblog.com/category/australia). It's the land of the V8 Supercars (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/v8supercars) series, Holden (http://www.autoblog.com/category/holden) Commodores, FPV (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/fpv) Falcons, Eric Bana's beloved beast (http://www.autoblog.com/2009/03/03/eric-banas-em-love-the-beast-em-opens-on-march-12/) and the country that gave us back the Pontiac GTO (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/pontiacgto) and the underpinnings for the latest Chevy Camaro (http://www.autoblog.com/model/camaro). And with the Germans leading the charge these days with the likes of the BMW M3 (http://www.autoblog.com/model/m3) and Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG (http://www.autoblog.com/model/c63+amg), it's only fitting that the Land Down Under should get its own special edition.
Following the release of the Frozen Gray edition (http://www.autoblog.com/2010/06/17/bmw-releases-2011-m3-frozen-gray-coupe-for-the-u-s/) and word of the upcoming Tiger edition for China (http://www.autoblog.com/2010/08/12/bmw-to-celebrate-year-of-the-tiger-with-special-edition-m3/) comes news of a special M3 just for Australia. Called the Pure Edition, it packs some unique touches, including glossy black 19-inch split-spoke alloys, dark chrome trim and an Anthracite cloth and black leather interior. That's about the extent of the special touches fitted to either the coupe or sedan - of which only 50 examples will be made. The Pure Edition comes standard in the metallic white pictured here, though a raft of optional metallic color choices are available, including - appropriately enough - Melbourne Red.
