BMW 6 Series GT 50 M Jahre Edition — All you need to know

As a part of the M division’s golden jubilee celebrations, BMW recently introduced the second batch of 10 exclusive and limited-run 6 Series GT 50 M Jahre Edition models in India at Rs 72.90 lakh, ex-showroom. This special-edition model is based on the 630i M Sport and can be reserved exclusively via BMW India's official website. Meanwhile, the first ‘50 M Jahre Edition' automobile to arrive in the country was the sporty M340i xDrive. Interestingly, the Bavarian automaker assembles both the 50 M Jahre models at its facility in Chennai, Tamil Nadu. Now, let us dive deeper to find out more about this 6 Series GT 50 M Jahre Edition.

Exterior

The 6 Series GT 50 M Jahre Edition is the mirror image of the standard 6 Series GT 630i M Sport when it comes to design, except for the classic BMW Motorsport emblem on the bonnet, boot, and wheel hub caps. However, this special-edition 6 Series GT comes with a BMW Laserlight setup with up to 650m range and Comfort Access System for keyless door and boot opening.

BMW further offers a choice of four exterior paint options, such as Tanzanite Blue, Mineral White, Carbon Black, and Bernina Grey Amber. In fact, the same colour options are also available with the standard 6 Series GT. It also gets the same 19-inch M alloy wheels as the standard model. Meanwhile, the 6 Series GT 50 M Jahre can be customised by adding the optional Motorsport Pack, which includes a glossy black kidney grille, a car key fob made from a combination of carbon fibre and Alcantara, and 19-inch M alloy wheels in Jet Black.
