Marc Márquez will need a bigger garage after winning the MotoGP fastest qualifying prize for the eighth time. He took home an M6 Coupe in 2013 and continued collecting cars over the next six years. In the following seasons, the Spaniard added an M4 Coupé, an M6 Cabriolet, an M2, an M4 CS, an M3 CS and an X4 M Competition to his growing collection.
After a six-year break, the MotoGP rider has reclaimed the BMW M Award. With eight pole positions and five front row starts in 2025, he accumulated 351 points and finished the season eight points ahead of his brother Álex Márquez. This year’s prize is the M2 CS in M Brooklyn Gray Metallic, a limited special edition priced from 142,300 euros in Marc Márquez’s home country.
The M2 CS will be one of the rarest BMW M Awards prizes, with production reportedly limited to fewer than 2,000 units. The German luxury brand has been awarding cars to the fastest MotoGP qualifier since 2003, when Valentino Rossi won a Z4. However, BMW’s involvement in competition dates back to 1999.
We are curious to see if Marc Márquez still has all the cars he has won over the years or if he has parted with some of them. Speaking about the M2 CS, the award winner said he would let his brother take the hardcore G87 for a spin after narrowly missing out on the 2025 BMW M Award.
“I actually found out that I won while I was out buying fruit – my brother Álex didn’t get the result he needed in the penultimate qualifying session in Portimão to keep the competition open. But I promised him that he would get to drive the car too! It’s always special for us when our achievements on track are recognized in this way.”
