The letter M — for Motorsport — is used by BMW to denote the high-performance versions of their vehicles. Cars like the BMW M3 and M5 are widely regarded as automotive icons that helped popularize the concept of a sports car, based on a docile production model. What was the first BMW car be developed by the M division?
Answer BMW 3.0 CSL "Batmobile"
While the first car to officially bear the M badge was the limited-edition M1 racecar, it wasn't the first car developed by BMW's motorsport division. That honor goes to the 3.0 CSL coupe, also known as the Batmobile — a racecar based on the E9 coupe.
