\/><\/p><p>The #46 is now 46 \u2013 and BMW M has the perfect present to mark the birthday of nine-time motorcycle world champion and current BMW M works driver Valentino Rossi (ITA): the BMW M4 CS Edition VR46. This exclusive edition, produced at BMW Group Plant Dingolfing, is available in two distinctive design variants: Sport and Style. \u201cThe Doctor\u201d himself was personally involved in the design process for the two versions, both of which will be built in a limited run of 46 cars and 6 units for France already booked. The world-famous number, which is Rossi\u2019s trademark, features prominently in several places on and inside the BMW M4 CS Edition VR46 \u2013 for example, on the doors and the roof, which is made of carbon-fibre-reinforced plastic (CFRP).<\/p><p>Purchasing a BMW M4 CS Edition VR46 also comes with a once-in-a-lifetime experience comprising an exclusive, personal meeting with Valentino Rossi at his home \u2013 the VR46 Motor Ranch in Tavullia (ITA) \u2013 and a BMW M Driving Experience at the Misano race circuit (ITA).<\/p><p>&#8220;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 the BMW M4\u00a0 CS Edition VR46 out on the road or on the race track later, it will be very cool,\u201d says Valentino Rossi about the edition and the collaboration with BMW M.<\/p><p><strong>Exclusive BMW Individual paint finishes and special exterior and interior details<br \/><\/strong>One way in which the BMW M4 CS Edition VR46 differs from the BMW M4 CS\u00a0is its two\u00a0exclusive BMW Individual paint finishes, which blend perfectly with the many\u00a0exposed carbon surfaces, such as the indents in the bonnet. Other distinctive features include a host of exclusive exterior and interior details. The overall colour concept of the two design versions is inspired by Valentino Rossi\u2019s preferred tones and expressive visual style. For example, the \u201cSport\u201d has a finish in Marina Bay Blue metallic, while both sides of the car display an outsized \u201c46\u201d in the darker Tanzanite Blue metallic. In the \u201cStyle\u201d design variant, the bodywork comes in matt Frozen Tanzanite Blue metallic, with the \u201c46\u201d this time in\u00a0Frozen Marina Bay Blue metallic on both sides. In a nod to Rossi&#8217;s favoured colour scheme, the BMW\u00a0M\u00a0kidney\u00a0grille outline and one of the V spokes in the forged M light-alloy wheels \u2013 which, as on racing cars, indicates the position of the tyre valve \u2013 are painted in bright yellow, as are the brake callipers with M logo and an accent strip over the door frames of the \u201cSport\u201d variant. The carbon-fibre roof \u2013 like the sides of the car, painted by hand \u2013 is adorned with a large VR46 logo (also in yellow, of course) and Rossi\u2019s signature. The tailgate features VR46 lettering.<\/p><p>The yellow accents continue in the interior of the BMW M4 CS Edition VR46, which is predominantly Night Blue. The M Carbon bucket seats come with Merino leather upholstery in the Black\/Night Blue colour combination. The Sao Paulo Yellow of the Alcantara shoulder area creates an exclusive contrast. The head restraints, like the door sill trims, feature a prominent yellow VR46 logo. Furthermore, the M\u00a0Alcantara steering wheel with three-spoke design and flat-bottomed rim comes with yellow contrast stitching and a yellow centre marker. On\u00a0the carbon-fibre centre console of all examples of the Edition VR46 is a badge stating \u201c1\/46\u201d, identifying each Sport or Style car as one of the limited run.<\/p><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-16554\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cars-of-the-legend.com\/media\/2025\/03\/5-1.jpg\" alt=\"BMW M4 CS Edition VR46\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cars-of-the-legend.com\/media\/2025\/03\/5-1.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.cars-of-the-legend.com\/media\/2025\/03\/5-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.cars-of-the-legend.com\/media\/2025\/03\/5-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.cars-of-the-legend.com\/media\/2025\/03\/5-1-320x240.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.cars-of-the-legend.com\/media\/2025\/03\/5-1-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.cars-of-the-legend.com\/media\/2025\/03\/5-1-150x113.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p><p><strong>Six-cylinder in-line engine with 405 kW\/550 hp<br \/><\/strong>The beating heart of the BMW M4 CS Edition VR46 is a high-revving 3.0-litre, six\u2011cylinder in-line engine with M\u00a0TwinPower Turbo technology. This power unit has had track performance as its raison d\u2019\u00eatre from day one of its development. The increase in the maximum charge pressure of the two mono-scroll turbochargers to 2.1 bar and model-specific tweaks to the engine management mean the edition model\u2019s engine now generates 405\u00a0kW\/550 hp, which is relayed to the road via an eight-speed M Steptronic transmission, the M xDrive intelligent all-wheel-drive system and the Active M Differential. Lightning-fast power development and optimised traction enable the car to accelerate from 0\u00a0to\u00a0100 km\/h in 3.4 seconds, and from 0 to 200 km\/h in 11.1\u00a0seconds. When applying the \u201c1-foot rollout\u201d method**, the figures read 3.1\u00a0seconds for the sprint from 0 to 100 km\/h and 10.8 seconds for 0 to 200 km\/h. Acceleration from 80 to 120 km\/h takes 2.6 seconds in fourth gear and 3.3\u00a0seconds in fifth. The top speed of the edition model, which comes with the M Driver\u2019s Package as standard, is electronically limited to 302 km\/h.<\/p><p>Contributing to the excellent engine response is a model-specific engine mounting with increased spring rates. The rigid connection between the power unit and the vehicle\u2019s structure enables particularly direct transmission of its power to the drivetrain every time the driver presses the accelerator. The oil supply system \u2013 like the cooling system \u2013 is designed to handle the specific challenges of track use, including consistently high revs and extreme lateral acceleration. The engine\u2019s power delivery is accompanied by the emotionally stirring soundtrack generated by the dual-branch exhaust system, which features electrically controlled flaps, a titanium rear silencer with weight-minimising design and \u2013 in customary M fashion \u2013 two pairs of tailpipes painted in matt black.<\/p><p><strong>Model-specific tuning for chassis technology and control systems<br \/><\/strong>The chassis technology for the new BMW M4 CS Edition VR46 has been tuned precisely to the performance characteristics of the engine, the overall vehicle concept and its weight distribution. The individually tuned axle kinematics and bespoke wheel camber settings, dampers, auxiliary springs and anti-roll bars serve to optimise steering precision, transmission of lateral control forces when cornering, spring and damping response, and wheel location. The electronically controlled dampers of the adaptive M suspension likewise come in a model-specific set-up, as do the electromechanical M Servotronic steering with variable ratio, and the integrated braking system.<\/p><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-16556\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cars-of-the-legend.com\/media\/2025\/03\/6-2.jpg\" alt=\"BMW M4 CS Edition VR46\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cars-of-the-legend.com\/media\/2025\/03\/6-2.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.cars-of-the-legend.com\/media\/2025\/03\/6-2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.cars-of-the-legend.com\/media\/2025\/03\/6-2-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.cars-of-the-legend.com\/media\/2025\/03\/6-2-320x240.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.cars-of-the-legend.com\/media\/2025\/03\/6-2-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.cars-of-the-legend.com\/media\/2025\/03\/6-2-150x113.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p><p><strong>46 \u2013 the trademark of an exceptional racer<\/strong> <br \/>The number 46 has accompanied Valentino Rossi throughout his extraordinary career as a motorcycle racer and racing driver, and has become even more of a trademark than his nickname \u201cThe Doctor\u201d or \u201cIl Dottore\u201d. Having seen his father Graziano\u00a0Rossi race motorcycles with number 46, Valentino also opted for 46 from the start of his career \u2013 and never even swapped it for number 1 when he became world champion, as would have been his right.<\/p><p>Valentino Rossi claimed his first world title in the 125cc class in 1997. Two years later, he added the title in the 250cc class. In 2000, he took the step up to what was the top Grand Prix category, the 500cc class, in which he was crowned world champion in 2001. The following year, this category was replaced by the MotoGP\u00a0class, and Rossi remained the dominant force. By 2005 he had added a further four world titles, and numbers eight and nine were to follow in 2008 and 2009. With these nine world championships and no fewer than 115 Grand Prix victories to his name, he is one of the three most successful motorcycle racers in history and a global motor sport and style icon. VR46 has become a worldwide trademark \u2013 and Rossi\u2019s home town of Tavullia has even reduced its speed limit from the usual 50 km\/h to 46 km\/h in his honour.<\/p><p><strong>BMW M works driver since the start of 2023<br \/><\/strong>When the curtain fell on his motorcycle career at the finale to the 2021 season, Valentino Rossi turned his attention solely to car racing, having already attended multiple tests in Formula 1 race cars and made guest appearances in rallies and\u00a0endurance races. Since the start of the 2023 season, he has been a BMW\u00a0M\u00a0works driver, plying his trade at the wheel of a BMW\u00a0M4\u00a0GT3 for BMW\u00a0M\u00a0Team WRT in series including the GT\u00a0World\u00a0Challenge Europe and the FIA\u00a0World Endurance Championship (FIA\u00a0WEC) \u2013 which includes the 24\u00a0Hours\u00a0of\u00a0Le\u00a0Mans (FRA). At the start of February 2025, he finished runner-up in a BMW M4 GT3 at the Bathurst 12\u00a0Hour (AUS), the opening round of this season\u2019s Intercontinental\u00a0GT Challenge (IGTC).<\/p><p><strong>Exclusive meeting with Valentino Rossi in Italy<br \/><\/strong>An exclusive bonus that comes with purchasing a BMW M4 CS Edition VR46 is the opportunity to enjoy a very special two-day experience in Italy. Day one features a visit to the VR46 Motor Ranch in Tavullia, including a barbecue and a chance to talk shop with Valentino Rossi himself. On day two, you will head to the Misano\u00a0World Circuit Marco Simoncelli for a special BMW M Driving Experience with the latest BMW\u00a0M\u00a0models. Rossi, at the wheel of a BMW M4 GT3, won GT\u00a0World Challenge Europe Sprint Cup races at his home circuit in both 2023 and 2024.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><strong>Consumption and emission figures:<\/strong> <strong> <br \/><\/strong>(fuel consumption combined: 10.2 l\/100 km; CO<sub>2<\/sub> emissions combined: 232 g\/km in the WLTP cycle)<\/p><p>Value with \u201crollout\u201d subtracted.
