Mechanically, the special edition model is the same as the standard M 1000 RR. As such, it continues to be powered by a 999 cc four-cylinder pumping out 205 hp at 13,000 rpm and 83 lb-ft (112 Nm) of torque at 11,000 rpm. The bike can hit 60 mph (96 km/h) in less than 3.1 seconds and top out at 189 mph (304 km/h).

The German car manufacturer is introducing a plethora of new performance models throughout 2022. In addition to recently announcing this special version of the M 1000 RR, BMW M has just unveiled the 2023 M4 CSL.

This variant of the M4 benefits from a number of upgrades to its 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged straight-six, allowing it to pump out 543 hp at 6,250 rpm and 479 lb-ft (649 Nm) of torque between 2,750 and 5,950 rpm. This allows it to hit 60 mph (96 km/h) in 3.6 seconds. The car will be sold exclusively with an eight-speed automatic transmission sending power through the rear wheels.
