On the other hand, the Mercedes E63 AMG will come with a £88,295 price tag.

Making a comparison with the older F10 BMW M5, there isn’t a significant price increase, given the F10`s £73,985 price. This means that the new 2018 F90 BMW M5 adds just a handful of new upgrades at the interior. As for the car`s design, this might be quite a disappointment for some BMW purists.

Technology wise, the new M5 borrows the same technology lineup also seen on the latest 5-Series or 2016 7-Series. It has been also equipped with updated equipment, like new shifter, M Sport steering wheel with two M Drive buttons, adding as well the state-of-the-art Head-Up Display with satellite navigation and much more.

Common features with the rest of the lineup refer to illuminated ”M3” badging on the M sports seats, as well as the latest iDrive6 infotainment system.

Even if the iconic BMW 1M was pulled-off from the market, leading the way for the present M2 Coupe, the agile sports car remains a classic that has gained lot of value on the second-hand market.

Let`s take for instance the bellow 2011 1M which is now looking for a new owner in Canada, for the asking price of no less than $100,000. The reason why the current owner is asking so much money is because he has never driven it. In fact, we are looking here at a brand-new car, never registered or driven.

BMW purists who are on a hunt these days for exclusive and limited-editions, should know that BMW has recently introduced an interesting package which includes an M4 Magny-Cours Edition, an S 1000RR motorcycle and an extremely expensive mechanical wristwatch from BRM, for a total of €180,000.

Considering the value of the package, I am allowed to state that the whole price is quite a bargain. However, BMW is offering a limited-run of just ten packages for the moment.

Starting with the BMW M4 Magny-Cours Edition, the model is dedicated to the German`s carmaker partnership with the former French Grand Prix, almost ten years ago, when it raced at the Circuit de Nevers Magny-Cours.

The model comes with the Competition Package and a racing livery. We are looking here at the same 3.0-liter twin-turbo inline-six engine with 444 horsepower.

Besides the power, the model is also had with the carbon fiber front lip spoiler and carbon fiber rear wing, adding as well the striping details down the flanks and the massive 20-inch alloy wheels.

As for the BMW S 1000RR motorcycle, this is the perfect replica of the one competing in the Superbike World Championship, coming with the same racing livery and a 999cc inline-four cylinder engine, with 200 horsepower.

On the other hand, the BRM`s mechanical wristwatch is also part of the package, this one costing alone many thousands dollars. You can find out more about the trio in the media gallery below!
