BMW Italy collaborated with Alcantara to dress up a Competiton-spec coupe painted in Sao Paulo Yellow. Unveiled at the House of BMW in Milan, the one-off car was built to celebrate the 50<sup>th<\/sup> anniversary of M and has a fully customized interior covered in <em>(yes, you\u2019ve guessed it)<\/em> Alcantara.<\/p>\n<p>Made from 68% polyester and 32% polyurethane, the material has been applied just about everywhere you look. The seats, headliner, and pillars have all been wrapped in Alcantara, much like the black door panels with a body-colored upper panel and the typical M stitching for a contrasting effect. Since we mentioned the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2022\/11\/24\/2023-bmw-30-csl-walkaround-video\/\">2023 3.0 CSL<\/a> earlier, the caned effect central seat and the weave on the door panel are inspired by the original Coupe Sport Lightweight from 1972.<\/p>\n<p><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-440339\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/BMW-M4-Competition-with-Alcantara-23-830x553.jpg\" alt=\"BMW M4 Competition with Alcantara 23 830x553\" width=\"830\" height=\"553\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/BMW-M4-Competition-with-Alcantara-23-830x553.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/BMW-M4-Competition-with-Alcantara-23-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/BMW-M4-Competition-with-Alcantara-23-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/BMW-M4-Competition-with-Alcantara-23.jpg 1461w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\" title=\"image of BMW M4 Competition with Alcantara 23 830x553\"\/><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-medium wp-image-440339\" 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\/11\/BMW-M4-Competition-with-Alcantara-23-830x553.jpg\" alt=\"BMW M4 Competition with Alcantara 23 830x553\" width=\"830\" height=\"553\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/BMW-M4-Competition-with-Alcantara-23-830x553.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/BMW-M4-Competition-with-Alcantara-23-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/BMW-M4-Competition-with-Alcantara-23-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/BMW-M4-Competition-with-Alcantara-23.jpg 1461w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\" title=\"image of BMW M4 Competition with Alcantara 23 830x553\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The door card has a lovely laser-engraved reproduction of the Milan skyline, where both BMW Italy and Alcantara have their headquarters. You\u2019ll also notice the embroidered classic Motorsport logo on the headrests. The optional carbon bucket seats with their illuminated \u201cM4\u201d badge are further adorned by the \u201c50 Jahre BMW M\u201d lettering. Even the steering wheel column appears to have been covered with the fancy material.<\/p>\n<p>BMW doesn\u2019t say anything about putting the car up for sale since the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2022\/10\/08\/bmw-m4-imola-red-video\/\">M4 Competition<\/a> will likely remain a one-off project with the Italian company to mark an important milestone for the M division. Alcantara is typically used in high-end sports cars from virtually all brands. The new 3.0 CSL has black seat surfaces with this material, which is also found on the steering wheel and some of the other surfaces inside the two-seat cabin.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of new M products, Alcantara is also used inside the recently introduced <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2022\/11\/16\/2023-bmw-m2-official-video-tour-confirms-centerlock-forged-wheels\/\">M2 G87<\/a> on the standard seats where the material is combined with Sensatec (artificial leather).<\/p>\n<p>Source: BMW<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ADVERTISEMENT This week may be all about the 3.0 CSL, but here\u2019s another interesting M4-based car.
