Markus Flasch, the former head of the BMW M division, recently shared pictures of an M4 on Instagram. But it wasn't just any M4...
Between two carbon fitter stripes, the car features a see-through M logo, that lets you see into the engine bay.

Placed in the centre of the bonnet, the M logo has three slashes along with the upper case letter M. It looks as though it's made from some sort of plexiglass, allowing you to see the engine cover that has illuminated lettering which says "BMW M Power".
Flasch is now the product manager at Rolls-Royce, but he was the CEO of the M division until 2021. He doesn't share much about the particular M4 in the post, but it's captioned “best hood in town?”

It's been confirmed that this was just a one-off special bonnet, and it won't be offered to customers.
