50 Jahre BMW M: The BMW M3 and BMW M4 edition models
BIMMERPOST NEWS 50 Jahre BMW M: The BMW M3 and BMW M4 edition models See full M3 Gallery and US Release @ https://g80.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1925158 See full M3 Gallery and US Release @ https://g80.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1925158 Global Press Release: Munich. Within the framework of spectacular events featuring sensational new model innovations and together with its worldwide community, BMW M GmbH is celebrating the first five decades of its existence during these weeks and months. On 24 May 1972, the partnership agreement for BMW Motorsport GmbH was signed. Exactly 50 years later to the day, the company now known as BMW M GmbH is presenting an exclusive collection of edition models as a current anniversary highlight. With the BMW M 50 Jahre edition of the BMW M3 Sedan (fuel consumption combined: 10.2 – 9.8 litres/100 km; CO2 emissions combined: 231 – 223 g/km according to WLTP; data according to NEDC: – ) and the BMW M4 Coupe (fuel consumption combined: 10.1 – 9.8 litres/100 km; CO2 emissions combined: 230 – 223 g/km according to WLTP; data according to NEDC: – ), M enthusiasts around the globe can express both their passion for racing and their awareness of tradition. Limited editions, exclusive design features and individually selectable equipment options ensure that each edition vehicle can become a unique car that reflects the personal style of its owner. The BMW M 50 Jahre edition is based on the current generation of the most successful model series in the history of BMW M GmbH. Worldwide, the model designations BMW M3 and BMW M4 are synonymous with high performance in the premium mid-range segment. The edition models are powered by a straight six-cylinder engine with up to 375 kW/510 hp, M TwinPower Turbo technology and high-revving characteristics. Depending on the model variant, its power is transferred to the rear wheels via a 6-speed manual transmission or an 8-speed M Steptronic transmission with Drivelogic, or fully variably distributed to all four wheels using M xDrive technology. The exclusive character of the edition models is the result of a market-specific configuration with unique design features and a strictly limited number of units in each case. In this way, fascinating rarities are created for the most important automotive markets around the world. For the exterior paintwork of the edition vehicles, style-defining colours from the history of BMW M GmbH are being reissued. These are complemented by M forged wheels in a similarly exclusive colour scheme and striking accents in the interior. In Europe and other selected sales regions, BMW M GmbH is offering an exclusive edition of the BMW M4 Coupe to mark its anniversary. The two-door BMW M 50 Jahre edition comes in the exterior colours Carbon Black, Macao Blue, Brands Hatch Grey, Imola Red and San Marino Blue. Their expressive appearance is enhanced by 19-inch M forged wheels on the front axle and 20-inch wheels on the rear axle featuring a double-spoke design, which are being offered for the first time in the colours Orbit Grey Matt and Gold Bronze matt. In addition, a similarly limited number of edition vehicles of the BMW M4 Coupe are being produced for the Chinese automotive market and available in the exterior paint finishes Fire Orange and Stratus Grey. This colour selection relates to the fact that the anniversary of BMW M GmbH is being celebrated in China in the Year of the Tiger. The M forged wheels on these vehicles are finished in matt Orbit Grey in conjunction with the Fire Orange body colour and in matt Gold Bronze in conjunction with the Stratus Grey exterior paint finish. In the interior of all edition vehicles based on the BMW M4 Coupe, door sill panels bearing the lettering “Edition 50 Jahre BMW M”, a metal plaque on the centre console with the lettering “M4 Edition 50 Jahre BMW M” and a corresponding imprint on the headrests of the standard M sports seats and the optional M carbon bucket seats for driver and front passenger hint at the anniversary. The edition model on the basis of the BMW M3 Sedan was designed exclusively for the US and Canadian automotive markets. There is a choice of five exterior paint finishes for the 500 models of the four-door high-performance sports car available there, each of which is reminiscent of one of its five predecessors: from Vermilion Red to Techno Violet, Interlagos Blue and Fire Orange to Limerock Grey. All body colours are combined with M forged wheels in Orbit Grey matt and selected BMW M Performance Parts. The components, which are inspired by racing in terms of design and technology and likewise included in the range of equipment available for the anniversary edition, also comprise the BMW M Performance front splitter Carbon, the BMW M Performance rear spoiler Carbon and the BMW M Performance tailpipe trims Carbon/Titanium. The “Edition 50 Jahre BMW M” lettering on the door sill trims and M stripes on the headrests of the front and outer rear seats characterise the interior. Moreover, an exclusive seam pattern adorns both the standard M sports seats and the optionally available M carbon bucket seats of the edition vehicles. A metal plaque on the cupholder cover of the centre console bears the inscription “M3 Edition 50 Jahre BMW M” and the reference “1/500”.

Why oh why restrict models to certain markets?
I’d have sold both kidneys for an 50 Jahre M3 xDrive in Macao Blue. Don’t like the M4 but seems all we get in Europe. You only have to look at AutoTrader in the UK to see how many brand new M4s are in stock unsold whereas stock of new M3s is much harder to find. |

Colors, stitching and wheels are cool. The M4 headrests are serious overkill.
M3 is the clear winner here.

Love it.
I have a Brooklyn gray 21 G80 and it's the best M3 I've owned. Can't wait to see this on the road one day and for the CS to get released. Go M! |

I need to see the Brands Hatch Grey! Nice to see Lime Rock Coming back too from my M3 CS. One of my favorite colors.

At least for Canada, there is no Vermillion Red for the M3. It's Cinnabar Red. Should be an error because the E30 red was Cinnabar Red. The rest of the colors are correct:
E30 - Cinnabar Red E36 - Techno Violet E46 - Interlagos Blue E9X - Fire Orange F8X - Limerock Grey Last edited by TheBingoBalls; 05-23-2022 at 06:04 PM.. |

A majority of these "special editions" will be garage queens. Wonder how units are actually leased?

This Jahre thing is a new business for BMW.
They add some logos and stripes and minor cosmetics to have an excuse to sell the same car more expensive! And yes its limited edition!

They've completely whore'd out M's and the M stripes/colors!
The M stripes on the seats should have been reserved for the higher spec M's like the GTS/CS/CSL. Oh God and the M4 headrests... don't get me started! Smdh. |

Hard to get excited for these while wondering when the hell they're going to give me an allocation for my normal ass M4.
