Aussies with a soft spot for BMW M cars and enough money in the bank will soon be able to place an order for the new M4 Edition M Heritage.
Here’s the thing, though: out of the 750 examples that will be manufactured, only six are set to arrive Down Under, in three different versions, named Edition 1, Edition 2 and Edition 3, with an AUD $167,529 (USD $113,371) starting price, so prospective customers better hurry up to secure one.

Available in Laguna Seca Blue, Velvet Blue or Imola Red II, all of them boast decorative strips, bespoke carbon fiber trim in the typical BMW M colors and carbon fiber roof. Other highlights include 20-inch light alloy wheels finished in Orbit Grey, ‘Edition M Heritage’ embroidering in the headrests and ‘Edition M Heritage X/750’ lettering on the interior CFRP trim and door sills.
The Edition 1 comes with the Laguna Seca Blue exterior on top of the Silverstone/Black Merino leather interior with turquoise contrast stitching. Edition 2 sports the Velvet Blue metallic color on the outside and the same two-tone leather upholstery, albeit with Velvet Blue/Orange contrast stitching. Finished in Imola Red II, the Edition 3 boasts Red/Black Merino leather on the inside, with Red/Yellow contrast stitching. Each car gets a wide selection of standard gear, including wireless smartphone charging.
Like the rest of the outgoing M4 lineup, the Edition M Heritage packs a 3.0-liter, twin-turbo inline-six that makes 444 HP (450 PS) and 550 Nm (406 lb-ft) of torque. The 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) sprint is dispatched in 4.0 seconds and (officially, at least) average fuel consumption stands at 8.8 l/100 km (26.7 mpg US / 32.1 mpg UK) and CO2 emissions at 204 g/km.
