BMW M3 GTS meets Wal-Mart automotive accessories aisle

The first pictures of BMW's M3 Tiger Edition have hit the web.

Built to celebrate the Chinese Year of the Tiger, the limited edition features Fire Orange Metallic paint, black accents, and 19-inch wheels.

While the exterior resembles the M3 GTS, the interior looks like BMW went shopping in Wal-Mart's automotive accessories aisle. The Novilla leather seats (with orange accent stitching) seem decent enough, but tiger embroidered headrests? Not so much.

Available exclusively in China, only 250 Tiger Editions will be built.

[UPDATE] New official photos and short film added to article.

They should have put a Rebel flag on the roof and "01" on the doors and called it the "Dukes of Hazard" edition. Orange!? Ughhh

 M! M!
ugliness aside, i'm sorry, but to put a limited edition of 250, even for china nowadays, is not exclusive enough for the nouvelle riche in china. if it were limited edition of 5, 10 or 50, i can imagine it selling. but 250 is too optimistic. btw, do we get a rabbit edition next year?

I think this car is really cool...and for everybody who is moaning go read up on chinese culture and then you will understand why it is only sold in china and not in your country...chinese are very symbolic and a tiger means a lot to them and not just an animal like it is to us....so think about other cultures...thats why america is going down...im not chinese by the way.
