BMW M was officially created on May 24th, 1972 - happy 50th anniversary, folks 🎂
What you’re actually getting seems to amount to some new colours for the body and wheels, and some extra badging inside. Yet, according to BMW, this will ‘ensure each edition vehicle can become a unique car that reflects the personal style of its owner.’ In European markets, the M4 will be available in Carbon Black, Macao Blue, Brands Hatch Grey, Imola Red and San Marino Blue. China will also get two more colours: Stratus Grey and Fire Orange – the latter marking the year of the tiger.
The wheels are the same forged, double-spoke design – 19 inch at the front and 20 inch at the rear – as the Competition, but offered in either Orbit Grey or Gold Bronze matte finish. Inside, the M4 comes with ‘Edition 50 Jahre BMW M’ scribed onto its sill finishers, there’s a metal plaque on the centre console bearing the same, and it’s embossed onto the front headrests as well – you still have to pay extra if you want the M carbon bucket seats, by the way.
If you fancy an M3, you’ll have to be based in the USA or Canada, because those are the only markets that are taking it. Again, there are new colours – this time Vermilion Red, Techno Violet, Interlagos Blue, Fire Orange and Limerock Grey – and Orbit Grey wheels, along with the interior trimmings we mentioned for the M4.
Oddly, the press release seems to suggest these items will not be available on the M4. And while it states that the M3 will be limited to 500 examples, it doesn’t say how many M4s will be built – we’d assume the same number, but haven’t had that confirmed yet. Nor how much extra you’ll need to pay for this.
