BMW M will celebrate its 50th anniversary in 2022, and the German marque has announced a few special touches available.

The big change with the special edition models comes in the form of the BMW emblem, which is replaced by one that has the classic BMW Motorsport colors around the famous roundel. The anniversary logo is featured on the front and rear of the vehicle, as well as on the wheel hubs. 

BMW M first used the shifted semicircles in blue, violet, and red on its racing cars back in 1973. The three-color stripes slanted to the right and leaning on the M letter first appeared on the BMW M1. The same model was the only BMW M car to have the logo with the three-color stripes and the historic motorsport emblem. 

Any true BMW fan will know that, out of those three-color stripes, the blue color stands for BMW, the red is meant to symbolize racing, while the violet expresses the connection between the marque and competitions. Those with a keen eye for details might have noticed that the traditional violet has given way to a dark blue.

Retro fitting: May fit other models if your diameter is correct, however you may need to snap/remove the pins and then double sided tape should you retrofit this to your vehicle.
