Although the second-generation sports coupe in Zandvoort Blue was announced as the prize back in November 2022, it\u2019s being replaced by the XM. This is the 25<sup>th<\/sup> season for BMW M as the \u201cOfficial Car of MotoGP\u201d at the end of which M will hand out another car.<\/p>\n<p>The XM in question is not the regular version but rather the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2023\/04\/20\/bmw-xm-label-red-an-exclusive-review-and-video\/\">Label Red<\/a>. Introduced earlier this month at Auto Shanghai in 2023, the plug-in hybrid SUV is BMW\u2019s most powerful production car to date. Aside from the red accents reserved for the range-topping model, it also gets a Frozen Carbon Black metallic paint from the Individual catalog. This finish is reserved for a special edition of the XM Label Red of which only 500 examples will be made.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/BMW-XM-Label-Red-14.jpg\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-450449\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/BMW-XM-Label-Red-14-830x553.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"830\" height=\"553\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/BMW-XM-Label-Red-14-830x553.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/BMW-XM-Label-Red-14-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/BMW-XM-Label-Red-14-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/BMW-XM-Label-Red-14-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/BMW-XM-Label-Red-14-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\"\/><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-medium wp-image-450449\" 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\/2023\/04\/BMW-XM-Label-Red-14-830x553.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"830\" height=\"553\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/BMW-XM-Label-Red-14-830x553.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/BMW-XM-Label-Red-14-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/BMW-XM-Label-Red-14-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/BMW-XM-Label-Red-14-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/BMW-XM-Label-Red-14-300x200.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The BMW M Award has been given annually since 2003 and Marc M\u00e1rquez managed to win it seven times in a row between 2013 and 2019.
