G82 BMW M4 Competition x Kith – 150-unit limited run

Well, that didn’t take long. Just one week after BMW debuted a concept version of the new G82 M4 in collaboration with New York streetwear retailer Kith, Munich pulled the wraps off the car that ordinary people can buy. Limited to just 150 units, the M4 Competition x Kith bears a number of bespoke flourishes on top of the already outlandish standard car.
On the outside, very little separates the Kith model from the regular M4. There’s the 1970s-style BMW Motorsport roundel atop the still-divisive full-height kidney grille, as well as the Kith badge in M colours at the back. Oh, and a giant Kith graphic on the carbon fibre roof. This optional branding is not a decal, by the way – it’s been woven into the fibres themselves.

BMW M’s first big collaboration with an artist was when it worked with Futura 2000 to create a hand-painted BMW M2 Competition. More recently, its latest collaboration was with another New York-based artist Ronnie Fieg, owner and creator of Kith. What’s interesting about these collaborations is that you can actually buy the fruits of their labor. So you can actually buy the BMW M4 Competition x Kith, as it’s called and a Frozen Black model is now on display for potential customers at the BMW Welt in Munich.
Very exclusive ‘First Edition’ versions of the BMW X5 M Competition and X6 M Competition are now up for grabs in Australia. However, you better get in quick as just four of each are allocated for the local market.
Yep, just four examples of each of the X5 M Competition First Edition and X6 M Competition First Edition are up for grabs in Australia. That’s of the 250 units planned globally. That makes these some of the most exclusive performance SUVs on the market, and they are sure to sell out quickly.
It is a bit strange these are called the First Edition though, as the super-SUVs hit the market earlier this year. They boast a 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8 that belts out a monster 460kW and 750Nm, translating to a claimed 0-100km/h time of just 3.8 seconds. This is currently BMW’s most powerful production engine.

In the Australian market, prices for new vehicles can become shockingly high, especially when it comes to premium vehicles. BMW is, of course, included in this category so if you’re looking for a new one, you might want to make sure you’re ready to spend some big bucks. The pricing and allocation for the BMW X5 M and X6 M First Edition models were recently announced and neither will be happily accepted.
Out of the entire global allocation of 250 units for each model, Australians will get only four X5 M and another four X6 M Competition First Edition models, with a driveaway price set at AU$264,900 (US$199,495) and AU$273,900 (US$206,272) respectively.
Local deliveries will kick off in the first quarter of next year, but customers can already order a build slot online for a AU$5,000 (US$3,765) deposit. Subsequently, the preferred dealer will be informed to carry out the consultation concerning the spec of the car and they will then discuss delivery details.
Available in the BMW Individual’s bespoke paint finishes of Frozen Marina Bay Blue and Frozen Dark Silver, the two SUVs ride on exclusive 21-inch front and 22-inch rear Jet Black alloy wheels. The exterior is adorned with carbon fiber side mirror caps and engine cover, while the X6 M Competition adds a lightweight rear spoiler as well.
