For those of you who thought you called BMW's april fool's joke with the M3 pickup edition, look again. Here is BMW UK's April Fool's joke, the M3 Royal Edition.

Here is the official press release describing the new royal edition.

Press Release

As Great Britain becomes gripped by royal wedding fever BMW has created a limited edition of the BMW M3 Coupé to celebrate this special occasion.

Now available to order from dealerships across the country, the Royal Edition of the popular M3 will be available in a choice of three exclusive colours – Regal Red, Bridal White and Imperial Blue. It is resplendently upholstered in Windsor White Dakota leather and adorned with a commemorative ‘Will’ emblem.

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.”

News of the M3 Royal Edition comes after the critically acclaimed success of the BMW Political Roundel Attachment Tag, that let owners show their partisanship during the general election, and the Canine Repellent Alloy Protection that stopped dogs from relieving themselves on customers’ wheels.

Any chance we can flip this thread into 6MT vs DCT fight? I don't see how but I'm sure there are many inovative ideas out there!!
How about "WILL" has 7 vertical lines for DCT's 7 gears
hay it's all I could come up with

Why does everyone still care about the prince and the royal family? This is lame joke about an even lamer topic (a relic from the Monarch era)..... as long as were making lame jokes about irrelevant topics, how about a red, yellow and brown bubonic plauge edition?

I think it should be a DCT because it'll be a much smoother ride for the royal family than the jerky 6MT shifts.....

Hows that for a fight starter

I am waiting for someone on the forums to do this with their badges. If someone was able to create en E91 M3, then badges should be a simple affair
