BMW M Cars Invade The Track During M Festival

BMW Greece placed on fairly a present this yr for the M Competition hosted on the Circuit of Megara close to Athens. Almost each M mannequin was current, apart from the M3 Touring. The SUVs had been lacking, too, however these are not often seen at a lot of these official occasions, and it is smart. House owners of an X5 M or XM are unlikely to trace their luxobarges, so why hassle?

The connected mega gallery ought to have one thing for everybody. From the tiny (effectively, not likely) M2 to the mighty M5 Touring, practically all M core fashions had been represented. We additionally noticed the M4 CS and even an M4 Convertible, together with an M5 Sedan decked out as a Security Automotive. BMW Greece even snuck in an M235 Gran Coupe to play with the massive boys.

If we needed to decide a favourite, it might undoubtedly be the M2 in Hearth/Vegas Crimson with silver wheels. As is commonly the case with BMW-sanctioned occasions, lots of the vehicles had been completed in particular hues from the Particular person catalog. The Gold Bronze wheels should’ve been a feast for the eyes as effectively for the gathered viewers.

These M Festival occasions are held yearly in a number of locations around the globe to showcase the breadth of BMW M’s lineup. The “world’s strongest letter” continues to thrive, with 2024 marking the thirteenth consecutive yr of development. Gross sales rose by 2.1% to 206,582 items, and 2025 is shaping as much as be one other report yr, with M up 7.9% via September.

After all, it helps that M Efficiency fashions are counted alongside true M vehicles. In actual fact, BMW sells much more not-quite-M autos than full-fat M fashions. In 2024, solely 66,805 had been the true deal, whereas 139,777 had been M Lite variations. For the third yr in a row, the i4 M50 remained BMW’s best-selling M-badged product.

And there’s extra to come back. The Neue Klasse period will deliver each M Efficiency and full-fledged M EVs, additional increasing the lineup. Not that we’re complaining. Selection is the spice of life, or as BMW likes to say, the “Energy of Selection.”
