BMW M and BMW Motorrad celebrate 100 years of Nürburgring with nine exclusive high-performance models.
The Nürburgring officially opened on June 18th, 1927. To mark the 100th anniversary of the Nürburgring in 2027, BMW M and BMW Motorrad are presenting the joint anniversary edition “100 Jahre Nürburgring.” It comprises six BMW M automobiles and three BMW Motorrad M models, paying tribute to a place that stands like no other for driving dynamics, precision, and performance.
The edition models combine cutting-edge high-performance technology with a unique design and equipment concept. The BMW M automobiles are based on the latest technical developments from BMW M GmbH; the inline six-cylinder models feature BMW M Ignite. The edition includes the BMW M2, BMW M3 Sedan, BMW M3 Touring, BMW M4 Coupé, BMW M5 Sedan, and BMW M5 Touring. On the BMW Motorrad side, the BMW M 1000 RR, BMW M 1000 R, and BMW M 1000 XR make up the unique offering of the edition.
A common identifying feature of all nine anniversary models is the historical Nürburgring Green paint developed exclusively for the edition, complemented by edition- and model-specific elements. The edition tagline “Born on the Racetrack. Made for the Streets.” sums up the claim: motorsport know-how is transferred into high-performance vehicles for the road.
“The Nürburgring is much more than just a racetrack for us – it is a second home for BMW M. All our production vehicles are put through their paces on the Nordschleife. With the Edition 100 Jahre Nürburgring, we celebrate our long-standing and successful relationship with the Nürburgring.” Frank van Meel, CEO BMW M GmbH.
“The Nordschleife has been part of the DNA of our M models for years. With our special models for the 100th anniversary of the Nürburgring, we pay tribute to a place that has made motorsport history and, to this day, shapes the connection between racetrack and road like no other.” Markus Flasch, CEO BMW Motorrad.
