Vehicle Story
The BMW M4 M Heritage Edition might be a bit of a mouthful but it is a helluva car.
Out of a limited run of 750 examples, just 75 were earmarked for sale in the UK to mark the end of the production run of the F82/F83 cars.
Offered in one of three colours – in the UK 25 of each were available – the Laguna Seca Blue, Velvet Blue or Imola Red they built them in reflect the three colours of the M Sport logo.
The Heritage Edition also has the standard car’s carbon-fibre reinforced plastic composite roof but sits on model-specific 20-inch alloy wheels. Unique M Heritage badging and an M Sport stripe on the roof complete the exterior changes.
The interior features unique sports seats finished in a two-tone Merino M leather finish with the colour scheme dependent on the coachwork: Laguna Seca Blue cars are trimmed in Silverstone and black leather with turquoise stitching; Velvet Blue cars feature orange and blue upholstery; while the Imola Red models have red and black leather with red and yellow stitching.
All get treadplates and a carbon fibre dashboard, plus the M Heritage Edition logo and the confirmation that this is one of just 750 examples built.
Power comes from the same turbocharged three-litre straight-six engine as the standard M4 Coupé, which is fine because that gives the driver access to 450bhp which is sent to the rear wheels via a six-speed manual gearbox.
The top speed remains an electronically limited 155mph after passing 62mph in 4.3 seconds, which is enough, surely?
