BMW 1 Series Shadow Edition 2019 pricing and specs confirmed

The BMW 1 Series Shadow Edition is treated to a number of exterior and interior upgrades, at no extra cost.

BMW Group Australia has released a unique Shadow Edition grade for its 1 Series 118i and 125i variants.

When it arrives in showrooms early next year, BMW will offer the Shadow Edition for $39,900 and $49,900 drive-away for the 118i and 125i respectively.

Despite being offered with added equipment and drive-away pricing, the Shadow Edition is a significantly less expensive proposition than the vehicles upon which they are based.

At time of writing, the standard 118i is priced at $39,990 plus on-road costs, and the 125i is set at $49,990.

The Shadow Edition is distinguished by a number of exterior and interior upgrades, starting with a set of 18-inch M alloy wheels in either 'Jet Black' or bicolour finishes.

Fitting with its name, a number of black elements are featured including a high-gloss kidney frame, headlight inserts, darkened tail-lights and black chrome exhaust tips.

Cloth Anthracite upholstery with grey highlights is used on the 118i Shadow Edition, while its 125i sibling boasts 'Dakota' leather upholstery.

The Shadow Edition also brings features to the 118i that were previously only available on the 125i. These include a high-gloss exterior trim, an M aerodynamics package, M leather steering wheel, Anthracite roofliner and front sports seats.

Finally, the Shadow Edition gets standard LED fog lights and lighting package, wireless charging and a choice of interior finishes that include Aluminium Hexagon with black high-gloss, or black high-gloss with Pearl Chrome finishes.

For an extra $2900, Shadow Edition buyers will be able to opt for the 'Style Plus Package' that includes Dakota leather upholstery for the 118i, an electric glass sunroof, metallic paint, and a Harman/Kardon surround sound system (125i only).
