Valentino Rossi (The Doctor) is a nine-time Grand Prix motorcycle racing World Champion and a legend of motorcycling. He is currently competing in the World Endurance Championship as a driver of the BMW M division, and in his honor the Bavarian manufacturer has presented two limited-edition versions of the road model BMW M4 CS, Edition VR46 Sport and Edition VR46 Style.

The BMW M4 CS Edition VR46 Sport is finished in Marina Bay Metallic, with the number 46 in Tanzanite Metallic on the sides. The Edition VR46 Style is finished in Matte Frozen Tanzanite Metallic with the number 46 in Frozen Marina Bay Metallic on the sides. They are equipped with adjusted shock absorbers, springs, stabilizers, and modified adaptive M suspension.

Both versions feature yellow details on the edges of the radiator grille, boot lid, brake calipers and rims, while the VR46 Sport has yellow details on both sides of the roof. There is also a VR/46 logo with Rossi’s signature on the roof.

Inside, the M Carbon bucket seats are covered in black/blue Merino leather with San Paolo yellow Alcantara on the sides and yellow VR46 logos on the headrests. Yellow accents can be seen on the Alcantara-wrapped M steering wheel, while the center console features a 1/46 badge. The VR/46 sign is located in several places in the cabin such as door sills, armrests, etc.

When it comes to the powertrain, both versions are powered by the same turbocharged 3.0-L 6-cylinder engine with 550 hp, which is enough for an acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.4 seconds.

Each version will be produced in 46 units, and BMW has not released a price.
