Would anyone know if there was a special edition known as the 'Cosmos Black Edition'?

Cheers,

not sure mate, i wouldn't of thought so... maybe jet black? or whatever that normal black is?!

i think they kept it as a top-end colour! it was available for the E36 but only on the Compact, M3's and 328i Sports

Just that I've been offered a "Cosmos Black Edition" 2.0 - and it is definitely is Cosmos Schwarz, with Arizona leather. But I'm buggered if I'm paying special edition prices!

Neil - you're the last person I thought would be on my back about an M*B20!!!

driven every z3 apart from the mcoupe, and yes I agree the larger engined ones are capable performers

as for the 2.0, not a fan, sorry
