BMW Australia will receive just 16 cars in the BMW M “100 Jahre Nürburgring” edition, a limited run marking 100 years of the German racetrack. The M2 xDrive, M3 Competition Sedan M xDrive, M4 Competition Coupe M xDrive and M5 Sedan are confirmed, priced from $155,800 before on-road costs. Deliveries are expected to start in the second quarter of 2027.

BMW unveiled the global edition in September across six M models. Australia will not get the M3 Touring or M5 Touring that make up the rest of the range. Local cars come in either BMW Individual Nürburgring Green, a paint developed for the edition, or Black Sapphire metallic, with eight cars in each finish.

The M2, M3 and M4 use a 3.0-litre twin-turbo inline-six. The M5 pairs a 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8 with an electric motor, and its power figure is the combined system output. The two M5s are split one in each colour.

Each car gets an edition-specific roof design, “100” anniversary insignia, “Nürburgring since 1927” lettering and a circuit silhouette. The M3 and M4 add a contrasting kidney grille surround and high-gloss black wheels with green accents. Inside, the M2 gets bi-colour black and white seats with green, black and white stitching, plus an Alcantara steering wheel with a white top-centre marker.

Why the Nürburgring matters to BMW M

The Nürburgring opened in 1927, and its 20.832km Nordschleife loop remains central to BMW M development. A BMW 2002 Ti won the first Nürburgring 24-hour race in 1970, and BMW M is now the circuit’s Official Automotive Partner.

Australia is a strong market for the brand. BMW says Australians bought 3,639 BMW M and M Performance vehicles from January to September 2026, or 20.5% of its local sales.

Production of the M3, M4 and M5 editions starts in January 2027, followed by the M2 in March. BMW advises buyers to contact their local dealer about allocation and pricing.
