- Electronically limited top speed: 302 km/h
Exclusivity and Ownership Perks
To ensure its elite status, only 92 units of this expensive M4 will be produced. Each of the two color options will be limited to just 46 cars, making it a highly sought-after collector’s item. A select number of these vehicles will be allocated to the U.S. market.
Beyond the exclusivity of the car itself, owners will also receive a one-of-a-kind experience:
- A private meeting with Valentino Rossi at the VR46 Motor Ranch in Tavullia, Italy.
- A driving experience at the Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli, where they can test the latest BMW M models on a professional racetrack.
The BMW M4 CS Edition VR46 isn’t just the most expensive M4 ever made—it’s a symbol of motorsport excellence, exclusivity, and high performance, offering a rare connection to one of the greatest racing legends in history.
