The M 50 Jahre edition is based on the current generation of the most successful model series in the history of BMW M.
Worldwide, the model designations M3 and 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 510hp, 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.
For the exterior paintwork of the edition vehicles, colours from the history of M 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 is offering an exclusive edition of the M4 Coupe to mark its anniversary.
The two-door 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 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 is being celebrated in China in the Year of the Tiger. The M forged wheels on these vehicles are finished in matt Orbit Grey and paired 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 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 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 Cinnebar 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”.
