BMW’s M GmbH high-performance division may be considering higher-performance variants as an answer to AMG’s Black Series and even Audi’s RS-line vehicles. This news comes out of the rumor mill churning from BMW spokesman Matt Russell stating that the company will not rule out high-performance, ultra-exclusive derivatives, such as the M3 CSL, M3 GTS or the M3 CRT. Just like these vehicles marketed in the past, the high-performance variations should be in limited numbers making them exclusive and highly sought-after models. Only this time they should be readily available in the U.S.
Russell also added that “we are not announcing any kind of sub-line or sub-segment, other than M Performance automobiles.” The M Performance Line, which was already launched in Europe last year, will be slotted below the M models but have significant M – engineered upgrades. You can think of a high-performance variant of the M models to one-up standard M models with added power, different chassis dynamics and visual but functional improvements. The lineup should make its way to US shores to compete with Benz’s Black Series models hopefully after the introduction of the next M3/M4. Let’s keep our fingers crossed on this one!

BMW’s M GmbH high-performance division is considering further low-production derivatives positioned above the its current lineup. Short of a confirmation, BMW spokesman Matt Russell said that the company would “not rule out high-performance, ultra-exclusive derivatives, such as the M3 CSL, which BMW produced more than 1200 units, or the more recent M3 GTS or the M3 CRT, which sold in 140 and 65 units, respectively.
These cars will continue to be standalone products, and there are no plans to launch an ultra-high-performance sub-brand, such as AMG’s Black Series line. “We are not announcing any kind of sub-line or sub-segment, other than M Performance automobiles,” said Russell. The M Performance line, which has been introduced in Europe last year, is positioned below the standard M models and features BMWs with significant performance upgrades engineered by M GmbH. Such a lineup eventually will come to the U.S. market as well.
The hubbub surrounding BMW beginning work on rivals to Benz’s AMG Black Series models stems from tweets courtesy of Automobile‘s Marc Noordeloos. Noordeloos tweeted that during an interview with BMW M execs at this year’s Detroit auto show, he was told to expect one or two special cars arriving stateside in the coming year, and the implication was that those cars would rival the Black Series offerings.
