Over the past few years, BMW has made a habit of launching limited-run vehicles every month. These models typically come in a fixed configuration with extra equipment and unique colors. Customers can order them through the online shop instead of visiting a nearby brick-and-mortar dealership.<\/p>\n<p>This May is particularly busy, as BMW has prepared no fewer than nine special-edition cars. Limited to 15 units, the M2 Sao Paulo Yellow Edition kicks things off with a vibrant paint finish contrasted by M Light Shadowline black accents. The staggered wheel setup (19-inch front, 20-inch rear) also comes in black. Inside, the front bucket seats and carbon-fiber trim set it apart from the standard M2. BMW is selling just 15 units at 98.5 million won apiece, which works out to a little over $67,000 at current exchange rates. Sadly, the car is only available with an eight-speed automatic transmission.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/BMW-M3-Competition-M-xDrive-Touring-Dravit-Grey-Edition.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-513232\" title=\"BMW M3 COMPETITION M XDRIVE TOURING DRAVIT GREY EDITION\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/BMW-M3-Competition-M-xDrive-Touring-Dravit-Grey-Edition-830x498.jpg\" alt=\"BMW M3 COMPETITION M XDRIVE TOURING DRAVIT GREY EDITION\" width=\"830\" height=\"498\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/BMW-M3-Competition-M-xDrive-Touring-Dravit-Grey-Edition-830x498.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/BMW-M3-Competition-M-xDrive-Touring-Dravit-Grey-Edition-1707x1024.jpg 1707w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/BMW-M3-Competition-M-xDrive-Touring-Dravit-Grey-Edition-768x461.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/BMW-M3-Competition-M-xDrive-Touring-Dravit-Grey-Edition-1536x922.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/BMW-M3-Competition-M-xDrive-Touring-Dravit-Grey-Edition.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>The M3 Wagon Is The One To Get<\/h3>\n<p>Up next is our pick of the litter: the M3 Competition M xDrive Touring Dravit Grey Edition. It\u2019s joined by a matching M4 Coupe, also in Competition xDrive specification. While the performance wagon gets an Individual Extended Merino leather interior finished in Fiona Red and Black, the coupe features a bolder Kyalami Orange and Black Merino leather combination. BMW is offering seven cars of each body style and charging 140.4 million won (about $96,000) for the M3 Touring and 139.9 million won ($95,700) for the M4 Coupe.<\/p>\n<p>The only convertible in the group is the M4 Competition M xDrive Convertible Skyscraper Grey Edition. The open-top sports car comes with a full Merino leather interior in a Kyalami Orange\/Black color scheme. This model is also capped at seven units, but it costs more: 144.4 million won ($98,700).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/BMW-M5-Storm-Bay-Edition.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-513235\" title=\"BMW M5 STORM BAY EDITION\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/BMW-M5-Storm-Bay-Edition-830x498.jpg\" alt=\"BMW M5 STORM BAY EDITION\" width=\"830\" height=\"498\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/BMW-M5-Storm-Bay-Edition-830x498.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/BMW-M5-Storm-Bay-Edition-1707x1024.jpg 1707w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/BMW-M5-Storm-Bay-Edition-768x461.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/BMW-M5-Storm-Bay-Edition-1536x922.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/BMW-M5-Storm-Bay-Edition.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Good Things Come In Pairs: M5 Sedan And M5 Touring<\/h3>\n<p>BMW South Korea has also prepared an M5 duo consisting of the sedan and wagon in Storm Bay Edition guise. Both feature carbon-ceramic brakes paired with double-spoke black wheels. Inside, the Individual leather upholstery comes in Taupe Grey and Deep Lagoon for the G90 sedan. The more practical G99 wagon does things differently with a Black and Dark Violet cabin.<\/p>\n<p>Each body style is limited to seven units, and sedan buyers have to fork out 183.9 million won (almost $126,000). If you\u2019d rather get the wagon, it\u2019ll cost you more. BMW is asking for 186.8 million won (nearly $128,000).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/BMW-XM-Label-Marina-Bay-Blue-Edition.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-513239\" title=\"BMW XM LABEL MARINA BAY BLUE EDITION\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/BMW-XM-Label-Marina-Bay-Blue-Edition-830x498.jpg\" alt=\"BMW XM LABEL MARINA BAY BLUE EDITION\" width=\"830\" height=\"498\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/BMW-XM-Label-Marina-Bay-Blue-Edition-830x498.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/BMW-XM-Label-Marina-Bay-Blue-Edition-1707x1024.jpg 1707w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/BMW-XM-Label-Marina-Bay-Blue-Edition-768x461.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/BMW-XM-Label-Marina-Bay-Blue-Edition-1536x922.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/BMW-XM-Label-Marina-Bay-Blue-Edition.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>By far the most expensive of the lot is the XM Label Marina Bay Blue Edition. It carries an eye-watering price tag of 230.1 million won ($158,000) and rides on massive 23-inch wheels. It comes loaded with virtually every feature BMW offers, including Individual Merino leather, front massaging seats, a Bowers &amp; Wilkins sound system, and carbon fiber trim.<\/p>\n<p>Bucking the M trend are the X1 and X2 Frozen Pure Grey Special Editions. Both are based on the xDrive20i with the M Sport Package. Aside from the matte paint finish, the compact crossovers feature 20-inch Individual wheels and M Sport brakes, while the interiors are trimmed in Smoke White artificial leather.<\/p>\n<p>The X1 will be produced in 40 units and priced at 70.5 million won ($48,200), whereas the X2 is limited to just 10 examples at 72 million won ($49,250) each.
