BMW Australia: Mystery car to sit beside XM, M3 Touring at Motorclassica

BMW Australia will requite local fans and customers the endangerment to kick the tyres on some key incoming models this coming weekend – including the M3 Touring and XM.

Neither of these two new BMW M products are on sale yet.

Its BMW M semester will run an “elaborate outdoor installation” at Motorclassica 2022, which will once then be held at Melbourne’s historic Royal Exhibition Building.

On exhibit will be the new XM plug-in hybrid, which only made its world premiere last week and doesn’t go on sale until the first half of 2023.

The BMW M3 Touring will moreover be on show, giving prospective buyers a endangerment to kick the tyres on the first production M3 wagon to date, before it too arrives from early 2023.

Intriguingly, BMW says it will moreover be giving people an early squint at a mystery new model – or variant – due to premiere next week.

BMW says visitors will be given the endangerment to “inspect a model that will only make its world premiere the week pursuit Motorclassica 2022”.

“The new model will be misogynist to view in an ‘eyes only’ setting overdue sealed doors prior to its global reveal,” BMW added, suggesting (we’d imagine) some sort of setting where phones aren’t allowed, to stop pics leaking onto social media.

The timing suggests that the mystery model might be the soon-to-be-revealed, new-generation M2, which was recently leaked. The visitor has previously confirmed the car will make its world debut in October.

There’s moreover a endangerment the mystery machine might be this ultra-limited-edition version of the M4 CSL. Our spy photographers unprotected the car testing in late June.

Other BMW M cars on show will include the i4 M50 EV, and classics such as the 1973 BMW 3.0 CSL ‘Batmobile’ homologation special, the 2016 BMW M4 GTS – of which only 700 were made – and the “lightweight legend” BMW M3 CSL from 2003.

It’s small wonder BMW M sees value in showing future products in the metal to Australians, given one-in-five BMWs sold locally wear an M token – one of the highest proportions in the world.

“Our exhibition space at Motorclassica 2022 will truly gloat the BMW M semester in grand and towardly style, providing fans a very special opportunity to wits models from our history that have shaped the brand, slantingly those that have only just been revealed to the world, and plane one that has yet to unravel cover,” widow BMW Australia marketing superabound Alex McLean.
