2013 BMW M3 Lime Rock Edition 6-Speed

I mentioned in my last post that the pricing of the M4 limited editions might be expensive, but it was far from the most expensive of the smaller Ms. Case in point; today’s M3 Lime Rock Edition. What did that get you? Individual Fire Orange paint is the most obvious item, but this was otherwise a loaded Competition Package car with some M Performance goodies and a sticker showing a track map of Lime Rock Park in Connecticut. Only 200 were made, and though they’re essentially just an appearance package – like most of the special E9xs were – they command a premium. How premium?

2020 BMW M4 Heritage Edition 6-Speed

Just in case the many special editions of the M3 and M4 didn’t strike your fancy, in 2020 BMW launched yet another limited-edition of the outgoing F82 M4. Dubbed the Heritage Edition, it was effectively a Competition model in one of three exterior colors mimicking the Motorsport logo. You could choose from the shades of Laguna Seca Blue, Imola Red II, or today’s choice – Velvet Blue – and you got a special M-striped carbon-fiber roof panel, special interior trim, and the choice of a six-speed manual or the seven-speed DCT transmission. Production was limited to 750 units worldwide, only a fraction of which came with manual transmissions, so collectability is almost assured for the future:

1991 BMW 325i M-Technic II Coupe

US E30 fans got more M love in the form of the two M-Tech packages – full and appearance – that were available on late-production convertibles. The M Technic Sport Package was also available abroad on coupes, and so that’s what we’re looking at today – a ’91 coupe imported from Japan. It’s equipped with the exterior body kit, with front and rear bumper covers, sill covers, and a unique rear spoiler. You also got front sport seats, a limited-slip differential, Shadowline trim, and M sport suspension. This one is also a “slicktop” model that was ordered without a sunroof, has been fitted with some BBS RS wheels, and has been converted from an automatic to a manual gearbox. The price? Well, let’s just say “to be expected”…

2023 BMW M8 Competition Gran Coupe

Just like SUVs have proliferated the production runs everywhere, a new trend has also recently popped up in the German dealerships; multiple configurations of the same car. Go to BMW’s website, and you can configure 8 different SUVs of course, but then you also have the option for the sedan, coupe, convertible, and ‘Gran Coupe’ forms of several series. They range from the Mini-based 2-Series in front-drive (who’d have thunk it?) through the range-topping M8 Gran Coupe. These start at $137,000 before you start adding in options. You’d assume the Isle of Man Green Metallic paint would be expensive, but it was actually a no-cost option! One heck of a deal is the Driving Assistance Package, which gives you lane departure warning, active blind spot monitoring, parking assistance, and a surround-view camera system – all for $100! More expensive is the “Pro” version, which adds in active driving assistance and traffic jam assistance for $1,700. Heated front and rear seats were another $350, Bowers & Wilkins sound was $3,400, and a few more optional accessories brought the MSRP up to $142,275 here. But with just 1,800 miles, you can have this one at a discount!

2015 BMW M4 Convertible Individual

Just a few weeks ago I took a look at an M4 coupe run through BMW’s Individual department:

2016 BMW M4 Coupe Individual

These wild colors have really proliferated over the last few years, and the result is that there are some pretty cool ones on the second-hand market. Case in point is today’s ’15 M4 convertible. It combines a neat color pallet (Peridot Green Metallic paint, Opal White leather, and dark red sycamore wood trim) with a manual gearbox and a convertible hardtop. Neat!
