BMW M, also known as M-Technik or just "M" (for Motorsport) was initially created to facilitate BMW's racing program, which was very successful in the 1960s and 1970s. As time passed, BMW M began to supplement BMW's vehicles portfolio with specially modified higher trim models, for which they are now most known by the general public. These M-badged cars traditionally include modified engines, transmissions, suspensions, interior trims, aerodynamics, and exterior modifications to set them apart from their counterparts. All M models are tested and tuned at BMW's private facility at the Nürburgring racing circuit in Germany.

[edit] M Badged cars

All these cars are true BMW Motorsport models, not M-line sport models that bear BMW Motorsport features such as sport body kits, and interior specs.

E12 M535i (1979--1981) - Often considered the first mass production vehicle built by BMW Motorsport
E31 850CSi (1992--1996) - An M car in all but name; it had a BMW M--sourced engine and its VIN indicated that it was developed by BMW Motorsport, like all other M cars.[19]
E31 M8 Prototype - A vehicle which was for unknown reasons canceled by BMW

BMW 320is E30 is a de-tuned version of the E30 BMW M3. It has a 2.0 litre engine instead of the regular 2.3. This was done for cheaper taxing purposes, nevertheless the car had a full-on developed M engine.
Audi's RS models, Mercedes-Benz's AMG models, and more recently Lexus F model(s) and Cadillac V model(s), are often reviewed in direct competition to a similarly-sized BMW M car, such as the Lexus IS-F vs. Audi RS4 vs. Mercedes C63 AMG vs. BMW M3.[20]

BMW M cars are still the best known in-house high performance derivatives, due to the longevity of their nameplates, and as they occupy the undisputed position at the top of their lineup from BMW. For instance, while the M3 has always been the top-performing version of BMW's compact executive classification, their competition has either undergone designation changes or not been consistently produced. For instance the Audi RS4 has not been offered for every generation or sold in every market, while the Audi S4 has less performance than the M3, while the C-Class's AMG performance version has several different badges (C36, C43, C55, and C63).

BMW M also faces competition from several independent companies offering their own performance versions of BMW models; some performance packs can be retrofitted to existing cars while others are applied to new cars bought directly from BMW AG and converted prior to first registration. Such companies include Hamann Motorsport, Alpina, Dinan Cars, AC Schnitzer and Hartge. The fastest and most powerful BMW M conversions are made by G Power (www.g-power.de) in Germany which holds several World speed records including the M5 Huricane RR with 372.1 km/h (231.3 mph).
