Uniting two worlds: The BMW M2 Coupé RR Edition and BMW M 1000 RR M2 Edition.

BMW M holds a special place in South Africa – not only as a performance icon, but as a market leader across both two and four wheels. For the first time, BMW South Africa and BMW Motorrad South Africa have teamed up to develop twin editions that show off their family connections. The collaboration sees both brands introduce special editions of their high-performance models, enhanced with additional M character, strong personalisation and offered only in South Africa.

The BMW M2 Coupé RR Edition and BMW M 1000 RR M2 Edition (along with the BMW S 1000 RR M2 Edition) are available to order exclusively in South Africa. The 10 BMW M2 Coupe RR Editions and BMW M 1000 RR / S 1000 RR M2 Editions are distinguished by black paintwork with striking red accents, alongside distinct BMW M branding (where applicable). 

The BMW S 1000 RR M2 Edition and BMW M 1000 RR M2 Edition

South Africa’s best-selling sports motorcycle, the BMW S 1000 RR gains distinct red accents to set it apart from standard S 1000 RRs. All units of the BMW S 1000 RR M2 Edition are finished in Black Storm Metallic with red accents on the front fairing and the passenger seat cover. It gains a tinted windscreen, M-embossed seat and red-accented Design Option Wheels.

Based on the pinnacle of BMW sports motorcycles, the M 1000 RR M2 Edition finished in Black Storm Metallic features red accents on its distinctive M carbon wheel rims, on the fuel tank, front fairings. The distinctive front M winglets bear the RR insignia in a striking red finish.

Both BMW S 1000 RR M2 Edition and BMW M 1000 RR M2 Editions see the distinctive RR logos on their front side fairings finished in bright red. Similarly, they are both offered with Akrapovič exhaust systems. Both are technically identical to the BMW S 1000 RR and BMW M 1000 RR models on which they are based.

Available immediately, the BMW S 1000 RR M2 Edition is R406,950.00, while the BMW M 1000 RR M2 Edition costs R882,100.00. For more information, please visit bmw-motorrad.co.za. 

BMW M2 Coupé RR Edition

Mechanically, the BMW M2 Coupé RR Edition is identical to the current BMW M2 Coupé with its signature 353-kW high-revving six-cylinder in-line petrol engine with M TwinPower Turbo technology.

It is, however, distinguished by its Black Sapphire Metallic paintwork, M Performance suspension (with red springs) lower by 20mm, and M Performance wheels with a Jet Black finish. Dimensions are 20-inch at the front axle, and 21-inch at the rear. Aerodynamic ability is bolstered by front and rear splitters painted black with red inserts. At the rear, two spoilers adorn the BMW M2 Coupé RR Edition: a roof spoiler finished in black, and a flowthrough boot spoiler finished in black with a red stripe as accent. A specially customised Akrapovič exhaust has been developed for this Edition.

In the cabin, the seats are black with red bolsters and red contrast stitching, inspired by the steering wheel’s red centre marker in the 12 o’clock position and two M buttons for selecting individually configured vehicle setups. Another distinguishing feature on all RR Editions is the standard sunroof, which is only available for this Edition.

Five six-speed manual, and five eight-speed M Steptronic transmission with Drivelogic units will be offered once the models become available in the fourth quarter of 2026. Final pricing will be determined at launch.
