BMW M 1000 R launched in India at ₹33.5 lakh, deliveries begin in May 2026

BMW Motorrad India has launched the BMW M 1000 R supersport roadster in the country at a starting price of ₹33.5 lakh (ex-showroom). The motorcycle is being brought to India as a completely built-up unit (CBU) and is available to pre-order at authorised BMW Motorrad dealerships. Deliveries are scheduled to begin in May 2026.

BMW M 1000 R: Design

The BMW M 1000 R features a compact and aggressive roadster design. It gets a dual-flow LED headlight derived from BMW’s RR models, with the M logo positioned in the air intake between the headlights.

A key highlight is the M Winglets, which generate aerodynamic downforce to improve high-speed stability. BMW says the winglets increase front-wheel load by 11 kg at 220 km/h. The motorcycle also features integrated brake ducts in the front mudguards to optimise airflow around the fork legs and brake callipers.

Customers can choose between Light White non-metallic/M Motorsport and White Aluminium metallic matt paint schemes. With the optional M Competition Package, the motorcycle is also available in Blackstorm metallic/M Motorsport. The rear frame and swingarm are finished in Platinum Grey metallic across all colour options.

The BMW M 1000 R is available in multiple colour schemes.
