For its 10th anniversary, a record number of M-flavored cars gathered at Autodrom Most. No fewer than 450 vehicles lined up at the track in the northwestern part of the country. That\u2019s 40 more than in 2025 and over 100 more than the year before.<\/p>\n<p>The annual event isn\u2019t dedicated exclusively to full M cars. As every year, M Performance models are also welcome, along with track-only machines. Speaking of which, BMW labeled the new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2026\/02\/14\/bmw-m2-cup-iberia-one-make-series-m2-racing\/\">four-cylinder M2 Racing<\/a> as the star of the event. Around 2,500 visitors had the opportunity to admire a wide variety of M models, spanning from the M2 to the M5 Touring.<\/p>\n<p>M Day also honored older cars, including all generations of the M3 and a rare Z3 M Coupe. Additionally, all but the first generation of the M5 took part in the event. One of the most attractive cars spotted in the images is an M635 CSi\/M6 from the E24 era. By the way, the original 6 Series celebrates its 50th anniversary this year, having entered production in January 1976. The hotter M version didn\u2019t arrive until a few years later, when the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2023\/12\/14\/bmw-m635csi-e24\/\">M635CSi<\/a> premiered at the 1983 Frankfurt Motor Show.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/2026-BMW-M-Day-in-the-Czech-Republic-7.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-512163\" title=\"2026 BMW M DAY IN THE CZECH REPUBLIC 7\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/2026-BMW-M-Day-in-the-Czech-Republic-7-830x554.jpg\" alt=\"2026 BMW M DAY IN THE CZECH REPUBLIC 7\" width=\"830\" height=\"554\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/2026-BMW-M-Day-in-the-Czech-Republic-7-830x553.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/2026-BMW-M-Day-in-the-Czech-Republic-7-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/2026-BMW-M-Day-in-the-Czech-Republic-7-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/2026-BMW-M-Day-in-the-Czech-Republic-7-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/2026-BMW-M-Day-in-the-Czech-Republic-7.jpg 1615w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>A closer look at the images reveals a handful of M4 Convertibles and even a few SUVs, such as the X5 and the polarizing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2025\/12\/02\/2026-bmw-xm-label-hits-road-korea\/\">XM<\/a>. Hot hatchbacks were also in attendance, including a 1 Series from the bygone days of rear-wheel drive. BMW didn\u2019t miss the opportunity to show off its M Performance Parts on an M5 Safety Car that led the pack.<\/p>\n<p>As always, it\u2019s hard to pick a favorite, as many of these cars are desirable for different reasons. If we had to choose, though, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2024\/03\/18\/bmw-m3-csl-top-speed-run\/\">M3 CSL<\/a> would probably be our pick of the M litter.
