THE MOST POWERFUL LETTER IN THE WORLD.
Driving pleasure as a mission and perfection as a driving force.
BMW M is part of an outstanding motorsports heritage and stands for high performance out of passion. Power and strength go hand in hand with the principle of EfficientDynamics – at the very highest level.
BMW M stands for highly-dynamic driving fascination.
This is compelling every day on the road as well as on the race track. The passion of its engineers makes BMW M a pioneer in combining authentic motor-racing functionality with exclusive, sporty aesthetic appeal.
























I was always a big fan of BMW M, even as a kid. My dad had a black BMW M3 and I always asked him to take me with him and put his foot down. Even today, I get goose bumps every time I get in the car and start the engine. You can feel how much passion goes into building every single model.
