Currently reading: 50 years of BMW M podcast - the fans' perspective

Who better to ask about what makes BMW M so magical than the people behind the wheel?

Over the last 50 years, BMW M has produced a wealth of great cars: from the iconic BMW M1 to the recently launched BMW XM, and everything in between.

The one constant over those five decades, though, has been the passion of the people behind the wheel: the fans.

That’s why, to celebrate BMW M’s 50th anniversary, we invited a crop of hardcore Autocar-reading BMW M owners – and their cars – to a very special celebration event at Caffeine & Machine. There we asked them to explain what, for them, makes the BMW M brand so special.
