BMW has added a bucket load of glitz and glam with a new model called the Golden Thunder edition that features styling cues from the brand's Individual equipment line.
The carmaker says its Golden Thunder edition, available on all three body variants, 'adds specific design accentuation in gold along with high-end BMW Individual equipment features for both the exterior and interior'.
Essentially, it's to give a customer something extra that sets their 8 Series apart from the normal versions.
