Like most other automakers, BMW also tends to create special edition versions to ensure that specific models remain relevant and stand the test of time. In addition, these special editions are highly praised by the reducer, and will give up everything in order to own them. In other words, here are some of the best BMW special edition models of all time.

The E12 BMW 530 MLE is a special certification for the South African modified production competition. The MLE 530 is equipped with a naturally aspirated 3.0-liter inline-6 ​​engine that produces 197 horsepower and 204 pound-feet of torque. Its chassis is equipped with upgraded Bilstein shock absorbers, stiffer springs and thicker anti-roll bars.

MLE 530 is available in three paint colors, ice white, platinum metal or sapphire blue metal, all with three-color racing stripes. Inside, they are equipped with Scheel sports seats covered in blue velvet and equipped with a three-spoke sports steering wheel, which is one of the best track weapons that money can buy.

From the end of 1989 to the beginning of 1990, BMW launched their most focused version of the E30 M3, the Sport Evolution-this car has grown into a legend and is also one of the most iconic classic cars ever. Sport Evolution M3, also known as Evo III, is lighter and more powerful than the standard M3 Evolution.

This car features thinner glass, additional cooling ducts and a more open grille, the fog lights have been removed, and it has an adjustable rear wing. Powering the M3 Sport Evolution is the 2.5-liter S14B23 Inline-4 engine, which can boost 238 horsepower-which was amazing at the time.

The BMW E46 M3 GTR is a turning point for BMW because it is the first M3 equipped with a V8 engine. The reason for producing these models is to comply with Le Mans' regulations, that is, all vehicles participating in the competition must be equipped with V8s.

Therefore, after the 2001 season, BMW produced 10 road M3 GTR models for sale. It is not only equipped with a V8 engine on the road car, in addition to providing a dry sump engine with 383 horsepower, the power system is also equipped with a dual-disc clutch, a 6-speed manual transmission and a variable lock M differential. A rear wing was also added to achieve high-speed lift.

The E46 BMW M3 CSL, also known as the lightweight legend, made its debut in 2003, when BMW was at the pinnacle of its success. It uses an optimized S54B32HP inline 6-cylinder engine that can produce 355 horsepower and a robot version with M gearbox, and the shift time is reduced to only 80 milliseconds.

Moreover, BMW attached great importance to weight reduction at the time. It uses lightweight materials, including a carbon fiber roof, a rear window made of thinner glass, and special composite carbon fiber for the rear diffuser, front apron, air intake box and part of the interior. Overall, the curb weight of the M3 CSL is 3053 pounds, which is 240 pounds lighter than the ordinary M3.

The BMW M3 GTS is the essence of the E92 generation. The M3 GTS is equipped with a 4.4-liter “S65” V8 engine that outputs 444 horsepower at 8,300 rpm, and is paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch M-DCT transmission.

In addition, compared with the standard E92 M3, GTS has also undergone a small but important upgrade. These include the use of polycarbonate side and rear windows, the removal of rear seats and the infotainment system. In addition, an adjustable KW shock suspension and upgraded front and rear six-piston and four-piston brake calipers are installed. Completing these changes is the addition of a roll cage, BMW Motorsport bucket seats and adjustable external aerodynamic front and rear.

In 2019, BMW M and BMW Canada jointly launched the BMW M8 Individual Manufaktur Edition. Only 20 of these special models have been produced and are available in two colors; Fire Red Edition imitates the original M8 Coupe from the 1990s, while Frozen Black shows the strength of BMW.

In addition, these two special editions are made of all-merino leather, with an exclusive two-tone Sakhir orange/black treatment, and all the cabins are made of Sakhir orange contrast stitching. On the outside, it has side skirts, kidney grilles and side air curtain vents, all made of carbon fiber.

Sometimes, BMW's personalization department personalizes BMW models even before they leave the factory. In 2013, the department worked with Robb and Berking silversmiths to produce a special edition BMW 760Li Sterling.

At first glance, it may look like any other version of the BMW sedan series. But on closer inspection, the 760 Sterling avoids unique shapes such as the pure 925 sterling silver on the badge, front grille, door handles and interior. In addition, the seats are decorated with fine-grained Merino leather, which is the most attractive leather choice for BMW today.

The M3 model has become the best all-round car in the sports car market. However, in 2018, it began to face fierce competition from other brands such as Mercedes and Audi. As a result, BMW introduced a hard-core version of the F80 M3, the BMW F80 M3 CS.

The CS is equipped with an upgraded power system-a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder engine that provides 454 horsepower and 443 pound-feet of torque. This is 29 horsepower more than the standard F80 M3. The increase in power and adjustments to the seven-speed dual-clutch transmission resulted in a fast sprint at 0-60 mph in 3.7 seconds.

From ground-scraping static constructions to state-of-the-art racing machines, the E46 is both versatile and popular, and these models are perfect for it.
