Bmw m is the code name of BMW's high-performance model, where m is the initials of Motorsport, which means "motorsport".
For BMW fans all over the world, "M" not only means high performance, but also represents BMW's highest understanding of cars and sportsmanship. In the eyes of admirers, "M" has already risen to the realm of spiritual totem, which has entrusted the dreams and expectations of countless people.
Extended data:
1, BMW's car series are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, I, M, X, Z and so on.
Among them, 1 series is a small car, 2 series is a small coupe, 3 series is a medium-sized car, 4 series is a medium-sized coupe (including a convertible), 5 series is a medium-sized and large car, 6 series is a medium-sized and large coupe (including a convertible), 7 series is a luxury D-class car, and I series is a BMW electric car and a hybrid series.
M is BMW's high-performance and sports car version, X series is BMW's specific SUV (sports utility vehicle) sedan series, and BMW Z series is BMW's entry-level sports car. The production version of BMW 4 Series is basically transformed from the 4 Series Coupe concept car, replacing the original 3 Series Coupe.
2. The model produced by BMW M can be divided into pure M model and impure M model, which is a headache.
For example, M3 and M5 are both named M followed by a number, which respectively represent the high-performance M version of BMW 3 Series and the high-performance M version of BMW 5 Series. MCoupe and MRoadster, also from BMWM, have only one M mark. The current MCoupe and MRoadster models are based on the BMW Z4, and BMW has not marked them with "MZ4".
A typical example is M535i of 1979, and BMW doesn't mark M5. BMWM only provides high-performance suspension, appearance kit and gearbox system on the ordinary 535i model, which is not a real pure m model.
