Looking at buying a 2012 convertible; seller claims it’s a Premier Edition.

Saw something online about a Bloomingdale’s Premier Edition, but was for a 2009.

Can anybody shed some light on this? Thanks!

I’ll do a search here also.

AFAIK, there's no such thing as a "premier edition". Perhaps it means it came with the Premium Package, which most of them did.

No idea; new to the G37 scene.

Ah, a Bloomingdale Special Edition, which isn't anything other than a promotion. They couldn't even pony up a special color.

Seems you figured out the answer yourself. Cool.

Would these cars have unique VIN numbering, I wonder?

Also wondering if this was done every year, was truly limited to 200 cars, etc.

You can run the VIN using the VIN Decoder tool at the top of page under the "Tools" tab. It "might" denote this "Premier" tag much like some IPL's get denoted.

However, I would NOT pay a "premium" for "premier" as it is literally nothing different than what is already out there en masse. From my understanding, the "premier" appears to be a cross between the "Anniversary" and "IPL" editions based on the wheels and the red interior.

Don't let the seller try to convince you it is something unique and spectacular - they may have fell for the sales gimmick. You shouldn't.

Yeah, I have the convertible version and I don’t think the premier exists

"The special edition model carries the ‘Premier Edition’ tag and comes with a dark gray Platinum Graphite exterior, 19in aluminum wheels, exclusive Monaco Red leather-trimmed interior with hand-crafted and red-stained genuine maple wood trim, plus a special grille."

Seems cool. With the exception of the grill, looks like a mix and match of options from other production G37s. The pics in the article look like a standard blue convertible. Are there any pics of the actual car? I'm curious as to what they did to the grill?

I'd bet my next meal that the "special grille" is just the OEM Midnight Grille.

Can't say that I'd like to have a red leather in a gray car, but whatever... that Monaco Red is cool regardless.

Agree on the red interior. I've always liked it when others show the color in their car, but after owning the Stone interior in my 2004, then Black in the 2013, my preference for long term ownership is black.

You may be right regarding the "special grill"

The color in the link photo looks like Blue Slate, so maybe that's just a stock vert photo.

I'd like to see the "red-stained genuine maple wood trim" to see if its any different than mine.
