318 Ti comp Sport "Edition" - what extra do I get?

[KentishS2]

Does anyone know what the differences are between the 318 Ti Sport Compact and the 318 Ti Sport Compact Edition model?

Can't find anything on the Web other than that the Edition was only made in small numbers.

Thanks in advance.

Excellent, many thanks for that and I'll be checking on what it has as standard, early signs indicated it could be the edition model with extra toys.

Much appreciated!
