It will be interesting to see whether the anniversary emblems will be shown to the public for the first time.<\/p>\n<p>The Rolex 24 At Daytona will be important for another reason as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2022\/01\/15\/bmw-m4-gt3-race-debut-24h-dubai\/\">M4 GT3<\/a> will get its IMSA race debut. Before that happens, four M4 GT4s will compete on Friday from 19:35 CET in the four-hour BMW M Endurance Challenge.

There\u2019s no spiritual M1 successor on the way, though. Several road cars will debut in the coming months, including the first-ever <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2022\/01\/23\/bmw-m3-touring-teaser-confirms-large-curved-display\/\">M3 Touring<\/a>. In addition, the Coupe Sport Lightweight (CSL) will return for a stripped-down, two-seat M4 Coupe. The next-generation M2 Coupe is also arriving this year, along with the production-ready XM towards the end of it.<\/p>\n<h3>A New Bespoke M Car Is Coming In 2022<\/h3>\n<p>The plug-in hybrid SUV with around 750 horsepower is the second dedicated M model ever after the M1. Some had hoped to see a proper two-door sports car, maybe molded after the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2019\/06\/25\/world-premiere-the-future-of-performance-the-bmw-vision-m-next\/\">Vision M Next<\/a> concept, but that doesn\u2019t seem to be on the agenda.
