Munich. With the BMW M235i Racing, BMW M240i Racing and BMW M2 CS Racing, at BMW M Motorsport, affordable and technically sophisticated entry-level cars into racing are a tradition. They are the perfect stepping stones to the higher GT4 and GT3 classes. Currently, BMW M Motorsport engineers are working on the development of a new car that will complete the portfolio of customer racing cars as an entry-level model into motorsport.
Further details about the entry-level car from BMW M Motorsport will be announced at a later date.
Björn Lellmann, Head of Customer Racing at BMW M Motorsport: “Proximity to our customers is one of the maxims we pursue at BMW M Motorsport. From our point of view, this also includes offering a car for grassroots racing that teams and newcomers to racing can afford and that at the same time offers them BMW M Motorsport technology at the highest level. Accordingly, we are delighted to be able to announce a successor model to the BMW M235i Racing, BMW M240i Racing, and BMW M2 CS Racing at this point. Our engineers are already working intensively at this early stage of development to optimally prepare the car for customer use.”
