The rest is history, and this new throwback video from BMW M reminds us why enthusiasts fell in love with the \u201cmost powerful letter in the world.\u201d We get to see virtually all greatest hits, including the mid-engined M1, and even hear the mental V12-powered <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2021\/04\/15\/video-bmw-group-classic-checks-out-the-bmw-x5-le-mans\/\">X5 Le Mans<\/a> for a moment.<\/p>\n<p>The footage largely focuses on the racing side of the M division, but the M4 CSL makes a special appearance. It\u2019s joined for a split second by the still-camouflaged <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2022\/05\/23\/bmw-m3-touring-private-event\/\">M3 Touring<\/a> ahead of its reveal next month at the Goodwood Festival of Speed.<\/p>\n<p>To the dismay of some purists, the \u201c50 Years of M Power!\u201d video also includes an SUV beyond the radical Le Mans we mentioned earlier. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2022\/04\/03\/bmw-x3-m-tesla-model-ydrag-race\/\">X3 M<\/a> is featured in the clip to show that high-riding models are important for the Bavarian brand. So much so that the second dedicated M car ever will be the XM, a plug-in hybrid SUV serving as the most powerful production BMW ever.<\/p>\n<p><noscript><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-426792\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/bmw-m1-red-03-830x553.jpg\" alt=\"bmw m1 red 03 830x553\" width=\"830\" height=\"553\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/bmw-m1-red-03-830x553.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/bmw-m1-red-03-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/bmw-m1-red-03-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/bmw-m1-red-03-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/bmw-m1-red-03.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\" title=\"image of bmw m1 red 03 830x553\"\/><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-medium wp-image-426792\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20830%20553%22%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/bmw-m1-red-03-830x553.jpg\" alt=\"bmw m1 red 03 830x553\" width=\"830\" height=\"553\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/bmw-m1-red-03-830x553.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/bmw-m1-red-03-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/bmw-m1-red-03-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/bmw-m1-red-03-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/bmw-m1-red-03.jpg 1920w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\" title=\"image of bmw m1 red 03 830x553\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The video is certainly a blast from the past as it reminds us of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2018\/01\/08\/bmw-sets-two-guinness-world-records-drifting-new-bmw-m5\/\">M5 F90\u2019s drift record<\/a> from early 2018. It was achieved by refueling the super sedan from another M5 thanks to some skilled drivers and a custom refueling system.<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, the video ends with the one and only 3.0 CSL, which may or may not have something to do with the hotly anticipated revival believed to debut before the end of 2022. It\u2019s supposed to be based on the M4 CSL, but with a manual gearbox and the inline-six dialed to 600 horsepower. Rumor has it BMW is making only 50 cars at more than \u20ac700,000 a pop.
