BMW has revealed limited-run versions of its M4 CS to celebrate nine-time MotoGP champion Valentino Rossi’s birthday.

The M4 CS Edition VR46 features a bespoke paint job, mechanical tweaks and a choice of two versions named ‘Sport’ and ‘Style’.

Sport comes in Marina Bay Sans Blue with Tanzanite Blue number ‘46’ decals whereas the Style is finished off in Tanzanite Blue matte paint with the decals in the same colour. Both cars get yellow pinstriping and brake calipers – while the ‘46’ decals relate to Rossi’s race number.placeholder image

Inside, both cars receive the same upgrades including yellow stitching, as well as the carbon bucket seats featuring a new blue and black leather combination. Furthermore, an illuminated ‘VR46’ logo is located just below the headrests and the car’s build number is embossed into the carbon fibre centre console.

Valentino Rossi, said: “There is no other brand that has motorsport so deeply rooted in its DNA as BMW M. I am proud to be a BMW M works driver, and to share this passion. The fact that there is now a special VR46 Edition, in which I was involved from the very beginning of the design process, makes me proud. When I see a BMW M4 CS Edition out on the road or on the race track later, it will be very cool.”placeholder image

Both cars receive mechanical upgrades over the standard model, including tuned anti-roll bars and tweaked dampers for the suspension.

Prices have not been revealed at this stage, but it’s expected that the VR46 will carry a premium over the standard car’s £120,000 price tag.
