Commemorating the 50th anniversary of the iconic BMW M GmbH, BMW India has launched an exclusive ‘50 Jahre M Edition’ of the BMW 6 Series in India today. Locally produced at BMW Group Plant Chennai, the exclusive edition comes in a petrol variant – the BMW 630i M Sport.

BMW India had recently announced that it will launch 10 exclusive ‘50 Jahre M Editions’ to celebrate the M sub-brand that stands for high-performance adrenaline gushing cars.
A benchmark in the executive sedan segment, the BMW 6 Series has the practicality of a crossover, the dynamics of a sports car, the silhouette of a fastback and the luxury of a sedan.

Sitting proudly above the BMW Kidney Grille is the iconic M Emblem inspired by the classic ‘BMW Motorsport’ logo.
