It seems that BMW is in a feisty little mood today as we may be looking at their second April Fool’s Day prank. Earlier we reported on the new M3 Pick-up which was an obvious prank and now the German automaker is using the popular M3 once again as the base of another special edition model. BMW UK has unveiled a special M3 Royal Edition as a tribute to the wedding of Prince William of Wales and Miss Catherine Middleton. The new M3 Royal Edition will be offered in a choice of three exclusive colors – Regal Red, Bridal White and Imperial Blue. It is exquisitely upholstered in Windsor White Dakota leather and features commemorative "Will" emblems. Yeah, that’s the best part. Good one BMW! Joe Kerre, BMW Junior Operations Kindle Executive at BMW’s Forschungs und Narren division in Munich, spoke passionately about the latest M car: "The Royal Wedding has captured the people’s imagination so we thought that it would be a fitting tribute to offer an exclusive edition of one of our most majestic models. Given the Windsor’s German heritage, the BMW M3 Royal Edition should make for the ideal wedding gift." UPDATE 04/04/2011: If you haven’t guessed already; this special edition was another April Fool’s joke by the German automaker. It seems BMW was feeling rather frisky this year! .
16 comments: BMW M3 Royal Edition Well, this one is definitely a nice joke compared to all those nasty rumors that some companies use. But it would still be a good idea if they can actually try doing this for real.
 Good thing that they are letting themselves a bit loose this year. It’s been a while since BMW actually pulled out an April Fool’s joke on us.
 haha, It seems that BMW is fond of April Fool’s Day. I guess, they wouldn’t stop from "pick-up" and "Royal Edition". I bet this would be a month long celebration! However, that was a great joke!
 So, is this one for real? It would be really interesting to see a royal wedding themed M3. But I doubt if they would actually take this one into production.
 OK now, that’s definitely one good joke. Nearly fell for that one until I noticed that there are some rather odd choices in the names of the features.
