BMW M sales grew in 2024 for the 13th consecutive year and continued to rise in the first quarter of 2025. A major factor behind this success is the increasing popularity of M Performance vehicles, which are grouped together with full-fat M models in official sales reports. But the strategy goes beyond simply pumping out M Lite cars. Special editions also play a crucial role in the rise of what BMW proudly calls \u201cthe world\u2019s most powerful letter.\u201d<\/p>\n

During our conversation with BMW M\u2019s Head of Customer, Brand, and Sales at Auto Shanghai 2025, we learned that more limited-run models are coming. Sylvia Neubauer confirmed that\u00a0additional special editions are in the pipeline following the\u00a0M4 N\u00fcrburgring Edition<\/a>, a China-exclusive version of the G82 Competition xDrive<\/span>. When asked by BMWBLOG<\/em> what the future holds for these limited Ms, she shared:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cWe do it all the time [special editions], and honestly speaking, it\u2019s really important for the brand to do small series editions for certain markets. We\u2019re doing a lot with the Middle East region. We\u2019re doing a lot with Korea and Japan, and Australia. A big special batch for Turkey as well. So yes, we\u2019re constantly working on smaller batches for various markets in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

While special-edition M cars are typically produced in small numbers, they add up over time. In markets like South Korea, mentioned explicitly by Sylvia, BMW releases limited-run vehicles<\/a> every month. These can be ordered online and aren\u2019t exclusive to M models, covering a wide swath of the brand\u2019s lineup.<\/p>\n

Sylvia also noted that the M2, M3, and M4 are the best-selling M products in China. That helps explain why the N\u00fcrburgring Edition is based on the G82 coupe rather than one of BMW\u2019s many M-badged SUVs, despite the latter\u2019s global popularity. The high-performance special is limited to just 53 units, one for each year since the founding of the M division.<\/p>\n
