BMW Quietly Drops a VERY Special 2027 G82 M4… Not for Everyone. Review
BMW has created something rather special for Canada. Meet the 2027 BMW M4 Competition Coupe M Legacy Edition, a limited-production M4 celebrating 40 years of BMW's iconic two-door M3 heritage.
But why is Canada getting this special edition, and what actually makes it different from a regular M4 Competition?
In 2025, Canada ranked as the **second-largest BMW M market globally by share of sales**. Almost one in four BMW vehicles sold in Canada carried an M or M Performance badge. BMW decided to celebrate that enthusiasm with a Canadian-exclusive edition limited to just **40 units TOTAL**, shared between the M4 Coupe and M4 Competition Coupe.
And no, the Americans aren't getting this one!
## WHAT MAKES THE M LEGACY EDITION SPECIAL?
The 2027 M4 Legacy Edition celebrates 40 years since the original BMW E30 M3 Coupe debuted in 1986.
BMW has introduced three historic BMW Individual Manufaktur paint finishes inspired by the brand's M heritage:
- Laguna Seca Blue (Non-Metallic)
- Velvet Blue Metallic
- Imola Red II (Non-Metallic)
Other exclusive features include:
- 19"/20" forged 826M double-spoke wheels
- Exclusive Gold Bronze wheel finish
- Factory-painted Gloss Black M graphics across the hood and trunk
- M Alcantara steering wheel
- M Carbon Bucket Seats
- Black Full Merino Leather upholstery
- Nappa Leather dashboard
- Carbon Fibre interior trim
- Shadowline Lights
- M Compound Brakes with black calipers
- M Driver's Package
The Gold Bronze wheel finish was previously reserved for CS models, while the M Alcantara steering wheel was previously associated with special models such as the CS and CSL.
