The BMW M4 is a high-performance version of the BMW 4 Series automobile developed by BMW's motorsport division, BMW M GmbH, that has been built since 2014.
As part of the renumbering that splits the coupé and convertible variants of the 3 Series into the 4 Series, the M4 replaced those variants of the BMW M3. Upgrades over the standard BMW 4 Series include an upgraded engine, suspension, exhaust system, brakes and weight reduction measures including increased use of carbon fiber, such as on the roof of the car, and the door cards.
The M4 also had a Competition Sport Lightweight (CSL) version that was 100kg lighter than the standard M4.

Matchbox 1:64 (Moving Parts): 1984 Rover SD1 Vitesse
The Rover SD1 is an executive car which was manufactured by British Leyland (BL) from 1976 until 1986 and marketed under the Rover marque. Sold with a variety of names, the code name "SD1" refers to the "Specialist Division" of BL (later known as the "Jaguar-Rover-Triumph" division), with the "1" denoting it as the first product of their in-house design team. A large five-door hatchback with fastback styling, the SD1 has a front-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout and was sold with various petrol engines, including the Rover V8, as well as a diesel engine.
The SD1 was introduced as a replacement for the Rover P6 and Triumph 2000 models, and in 1977 it won the European Car of the Year title. It continued to be produced by the Austin-Rover division after BL was reorganised in 1982, and eventually was replaced by the Rover 800 series in 1986. The SD1 was the final Rover-badged vehicle to be produced at Solihull. Future Rover models would be built at the former British Motor Corporation factories at Longbridge and Cowley. It was also produced under licence in Chennai, India as the Standard 2000 from 1985 to 1988.
