BMW has also released video footage of the new limited production M4 Competition alongside a meticulously restored E30 M3 that has been modified by Kith and named the Ronnie Fieg Edition. The one-off E30 M3 was made for BMW enthusiast Ronnie Fieg from New York who had the car sent to the BMW Classic in Germany for a full nut and bolt restoration before it received a handful of unique ‘Kith’ touches.

BMW is introducing the first special edition of the new M4 Competition just a few weeks after the model’s official debut; this is the new M4 Competition by Kith.
Limited to just 150 examples worldwide, the new special edition of the M4 Competition was created in collaboration with lifestyle brand Kith, featuring unique exterior and interior design details.
You could say that the new BMW M4 Competition by Kith pays tribute to the original M3, with the red example you see in the images finished in the same Cinnabar Red shade that was originally used in the E30 M3 and is no longer available for the regular BMW range.

Other details around the limited edition M4 Competition include a black Kith logo merged with the classic M stripes and an altered BMW badge with an extra ring around it in the classic light blue, dark blue, and red colors. Customers will be also able to choose between the Frozen Black, Frozen Dark Silver, and Frozen Brilliant White matt paint finishes.
BMW will offer as an option a carbon-fiber roof panel with grey Kith lettering and M stripes woven into the roof surface.
The interior of the new M4 Competition by Kith features a pair of tri-color M Carbon bucket seats, which add light blue and red to the black Merino leather upholstery for an impressive result. Kith lettering is also embossed into the black leather of the front and rear headrests, with the center console hosting an exclusive badge.
Nothing has changed under the skin, compared to a standard M4 Competition; power still comes from a twin-turbo 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine that produces 503 HP (510 PS) and 479 lb-ft (650 Nm) of torque. BMW will offer the M xDrive all-wheel-drive system as an option, just like in the regular M4.
Kith’s founder Ronnie Fieg happens to be a big BMW enthusiast, owning a pristine example of an E30 M3 himself, with Kith to also offer a 96-piece collection of exclusively designed apparel and accessories in all its stores and online.
“The tie-up with Ronnie Fieg and Kith is a great opportunity for BMW M GmbH to bridge the gap between the original BMW M3 and our new BMW M4 Competition Coupé from the sixth generation of this iconic model range,” said Markus Flasch, head of BMW M.
