On the two-wheeler side, the company's motorcycle division BMW Motorrad has come out with the M 1000 RR 50 Years M anniversary model.
The bike is painted in "Sao Paulo Yellow" with the historic 50 Years BMW M emblem.

Its inline-four engine cranks out 205hp; it can sprint from 0-100kph in 3.1s and top speed is limited to 306kph.

At the end of 2018, BMW Motorrad already introduced the successful BMW M automobile range strategy for motorcycles and has since been offering M special equipment and M Performance Parts.
The BMW M 1000 RR - known as the M RR for short - celebrated its world premiere in September 2020 as the first M model from BMW Motorrad based on the S 1000 RR.
The BMW M RR has also been the base bike for the BMW Motorrad World SBK Team since 2021, as well as many other racing teams around the world.
Priced from US$37,000 (RM163,000), the M RR 50 Years M model is opened for booking from now until Nov 30.
