BMW Brought 24 M Cars to Forza Horizon 6
Forza Horizon 6 launched with 24 BMW M cars in the garage, including a Forza-exclusive version of the new M2 built specifically for the game. The latest entry in the long-running open-world racing series, which has been running since 2012, moves its setting to Japan for this installment, spread across nine geographical zones.
The map runs from the neon corridors and narrow backstreets of Tokyo out to mountain passes, coastal roads, rice paddies, temple grounds, and a drive-by of Mount Fuji. Players arrive as tourists and earn wristbands at the in-game Horizon Festival to unlock more races as they go. There’s also a side mode called Discover Japan, which includes Touge Battles, hill-climb events built around the mountain road racing culture Japan is known for. Spring, summer, autumn, and winter are all modeled with their own foliage, weather, and ambient sound, and racing happens in both daylight and at night.
A One-Off M2 Built For The Game
The car BMW is pointing to specifically is the M2 Forza Edition, and it’s a digital-only build rather than a real special edition. In-game, it’s a pre-tuned M2 with an A 700 performance preset and bodykit, unlocked by reaching Horizon Legend Tier 5 in the Collection Journal, not something BMW ever put on a dealer lot.
BMW’s Longer History with Forza
BMW has been in every Forza game since the series started, and BMW Group’s other brands, Mini and Rolls-Royce, show up too. The sim-racing side, Forza Motorsport, ran a full BMW Month in January 2025: a dedicated BMW Tour across four race series, plus reward cars including the M4 GT3, the 1976 3.0 CSL, and a Le Mans-spec M Hybrid V8 that came bundled with a sweepstakes entry for an actual trip to Le Mans.
