To celebrate the German brand's 30th anniversary in the Land of the Rising Sun, BMW->ke178 has unveiled a special edition 5-Series F10 for the occasion. The car is called the 528i '30th Anniversary Edition', and as its name obviously suggests, it's a limited run model that commemorates BMW's 30-year presence in Japan.

The 528i 20th Anniversary Edition is limited to only 200 units and will come with special styling elements to justify its 'SE' tag, including a Deep Sea Blue Metallic finish, a BMW Individual aluminum window trim, Veneto Beige dakota leather, Satin Walnut Wood Fine Honey Brown Individual trim, door sill plates engraved with the 30th anniversary logo, a head-up display, and a premium audio system.

As for the powertrain, the car will carry BMW's 3.0-liter inline-six engine, one that produces an output of 258 horsepower.
