BMW M4 CS Edition VR46: A Special Tribute to Valentino Rossi’s 46th Birthday

SAUDI ARABIA : It’s a limited edition (92 units) co-designed by Rossi, featuring his iconic number 46 and yellow racing accents.

The legendary number 46 just turned 46! To mark the birthday of nine-time motorcycle world champion and current BMW M works driver, Valentino Rossi, BMW M has unveiled a stunning special edition: the BMW M4 CS Edition VR46. Without much talk, let’s see what makes this car truly special.

A Limited-Edition Masterpiece

Produced at BMW Group Plant Dingolfing, the BMW M4 CS Edition VR46 features bold design elements reflecting Rossi’s signature style. The iconic 46 is displayed prominently on the doors and carbon-fiber roof, alongside his VR46 logo and signature. Each car is individually numbered with a “1/46” badge on the center console.

Exclusive Colors & Eye-Catching Details

The Sport variant flaunts a Marina Bay Blue metallic finish with a Tanzanite Blue metallic “46” on the sides. The Style version, in contrast, comes in Frozen Tanzanite Blue metallic with a Frozen Marina Bay Blue metallic “46”. 

Rossi’s love for bold yellow accents is evident in the M kidney grille outline, brake calipers, and door frame accents. Inside, the M Carbon bucket seats feature Merino leather in Black/Night Blue with striking yellow Alcantara highlights.

Performance That Thrills

At the heart of the BMW M4 CS Edition VR46 is a 3.0L six-cylinder in-line engine with M TwinPower Turbo technology, pushing out an impressive 550 hp (405 kW). The M xDrive all-wheel-drive system and eight-speed M Steptronic transmission deliver a 0-100 km/h sprint in just 3.4 seconds, while the top speed is electronically capped at 302 km/h.

With a tuned chassis, adaptive M suspension, and a titanium rear silencer, this limited edition is engineered for both the road and the track. The dual-branch exhaust system with electrically controlled flaps ensures an exhilarating soundtrack to match its aggressive performance.

An Exclusive Experience with Valentino Rossi

Owning the BMW M4 CS Edition VR46 isn’t just about driving an ultra-rare machine; it comes with a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Buyers will enjoy a two-day VIP trip to Italy, including:

• A private meeting with Valentino Rossi at his VR46 Motor Ranch in Tavullia, featuring a BBQ and motorsport discussions.
• A BMW M Driving Experience at the Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli, where Rossi has claimed multiple victories in the GT World Challenge Europe.

Valentino Rossi: From MotoGP Legend to BMW M Works Driver

Rossi’s legacy in MotoGP is unmatched, with nine world championships and 115 Grand Prix victories. Since 2023, he has been racing as a BMW M works driver, competing in prestigious series like the GT World Challenge Europe and FIA World Endurance Championship (FIA WEC).

Reflecting on this collaboration, Rossi said: “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. Seeing the BMW M4 CS Edition VR46 on the road and track will be very cool.”
