familiar from M automobiles, now offering M options and M Performance
Parts for a motorcycle model. With the market launch of the new S 1000
RR, an M package and M optional equipment will be available ex works
for a motorcycle for the first time. The range of products available
for the new RR is also rounded off with an extensive selection of M
Performance Parts as part of the accessories program.
Here BMW Motorrad is following the philosophy of the most

customers with particularly high aspirations in terms of performance,
exclusivity and individuality.
The M package for the new BMW S1000 RR comprises the following:
- Motorsport paint finish

Furthermore, BMW Motorrad Motorsport will be entering the new
BMW S 1000 RR in the FIM World Superbike Championship (WorldSBK) as of
the upcoming 2019 season. The new BMW Motorrad WorldSBK Team will
enter the contest in collaboration with Shaun Muir Racing and with a
well-known rider pairing: 2013 Superbike World Championship winner Tom
Sykes (GBR) together with reigning Superstock 1000 European champion
and three-times IDM champion Markus Reiterberger (GER).
With the BMW Motorrad WorldSBK Team and the cooperation with
Shaun Muir Racing, BMW Motorrad is significantly expanding its
engagement in the WorldSBK. At the same time, BMW Motorrad will
continue its successful customer racing program in numerous other
national and international racing series.
Cooperation with BMW Group Motorsport is also being intensified
