BMW M 50th Anniversary special previewed for the first time | Evo

has given us our first look at its long-rumoured 50th Anniversary model, a very low-production special edition that will reference the iconic 1973 3.0 CSL ‘Batmobile’ homologation special. While the car is heavily camouflaged, we can say judging by its proportions that it’ll be based on the currentLooking at the new model, we can clearly see a completely new front end that downsizes the kidney grilles from the current/4 size to something slightly more restrained.

The bonnet is bespoke, and frames the new grille whilst also slightly overhanging the M3-derived headlights to give them more of an aggressive scowl. Look closely and you’ll also see a slight mismatch between the bonnet line and the front wings, suggesting that CSL Batmobile-style fender fins have been integrated into the design too.

The second released image is even more revealing, showing off a totally redesigned rear end, boot, and flanks. The rear haunches are the most dramatic element, folding over the rear wheel arches separately to the main body, a design element that was first shown off on theThese then integrate into a new boot lid that incorporates a wing feature with two defined uprights that blend back into the rear quarter panels.

BMW hasn’t given any indication as to official numbers or pricing, but word has spread that this won’t be an inexpensive special edition, with sources suggesting that it’ll cost well over £500,000 – something that wouldn’t be surprising given the sheer amount of bespoke components already visible. There’s also no specific time frame for its reveal, but production is pencilled in from November, suggesting a public debut will be due closer to those dates.

This of course isn't the first time BMW has played with the notion of bringing back the 3.0 CSL in a modern context, having brought two concepts to motorshows that were a direct interpretation of the original. While the production version has taken a few years to materialise, we'd guess the concept will give us a good look at what to expect when we see the 50th anniversary car in full later this year.
