BMW Celebrates Historic One-Two-Three. BMW Motorsport Has Added Another Chapter to Its Remarkable Success Story in the DTM DTM Jun 2, 2013 BMW celebrates historic one-two-three. BMW Motorsport has added another chapter to its remarkable success story in the DTM. At the end of 47 laps, reigning champion Bruno Spengler crossed the finish line first in the BMW Bank M3 DTM to win the third race of the 2013 DTM in Spielberg. Marco Wittmann (Ice-Watch BMW M3 DTM) came home second, just 1.550 seconds later. He was followed by Timo Glock (DEUTSCHE POST BMW M3 DTM), Wittmann’s BMW Team MTEK team-mate, who completed the first one-two-three for BMW since returning to the DTM in 2012. It was also the first appearance on the podium for the two rookies, in only their third race. This was the tenth time in the history of the DTM that the podium had been completely monopolised by BMW drivers, while BMW Team Schnitzer celebrated its 13th victory in the popular touring car series. Spengler, who started the race from pole position, climbed onto the top step of the podium for the 14th time in his career. The Canadian dominated the race from the off and moved to the top of the Drivers’ Championship on 53 points courtesy of his first win of the season. In addition, Wittmann set the fastest lap of the race in 1:25.505 minutes. Augusto Farfus in the Castrol EDGE BMW M3 DTM and Dirk Werner in the SAMSUNG BMW M3 DTM also picked up valuable points, coming home sixth and eighth. Therefore, five BMW drivers ended the race in the top eight. Martin Tomczyk produced an excellent opening lap to move up to fifth after the first few corners. After a number of fierce duels with rivals and his first pit stop, he was spun by Mercedes driver Roberto Merhi, who was subsequently penalised. Tomczyk retired from the race on lap 30 with a damaged car. Joey Hand had to park up his BMW M3 DTM on the 11th lap when the front-left wheel came loose after his first pit stop. Andy Priaulx, starting from last place on the grid, was unable to make the progress required to finish in the points, ending the race in 19th in the Crowne Plaza Hotels BMW M3 DTM. .

For those in the southern hemi- sphere we leave behind the heat of summer, and the festive season is a dis- tant memory. Above the equator, memories of cold, wet days may still linger but there is the promise of increased sunshine as days grow longer, and this all means more time to spend riding or driving. Perhaps it is also time to ponder why you are a member of a BMW Club – for two wheels or four, or maybe you are fortunate enough to be able to enjoy both types of vehicle. Nevertheless, when was the last time you sat back and asked yourself why you are a member of a club? Every now and then I like to get back to the funda- mentals. In relation to club membership, the reason for being a member has probably not changed from the basic reasons why clubs were founded in the first place. This might be to enjoy the BMW experience with fellow owners, to share the road or the track, or just share the knowledge that comes from being a BMW owner. And in its simplest form, these are arguably the fundamentals we need to re-focus on from time to time.

With the launch of the first generation of the BMW M3 in 1986, the BMW M GmbH, at that time operating under the name BMW Motorsport GmbH, revolutionized the sporty mid-range segment.

And over all these years the BMW M3 has retained its original character. Probably no other automobile combines distinct racing genes and unrestricted day-to-day suitability into such a highly emotional overall concept. To mark the 30th anniversary of this automotive icon this summer, BMW M is launching the exclusive special edition of the BMW M3 “30 Years M3”, which is limited to 500 cars worldwide.

    BMW Corporate Communications DTM The 2015 DTM season enters the next round for BMW Motorsport at the Lausitzring. Munich (DE), 26th May 2015. It has started: With an action-packed race weekend and two gripping races, the DTM kicked off the 2015 season at the Hockenheimring (DE) at the beginning of May. This weekend sees BMW Motorsport compete with its rivals on the Lausitzring (DE) for the second time this year. BMW has a special connection with the track 130 kilometres south of Berlin (DE): Marco Wittmann (DE) made history last season when, before the end of the season, he finished sixth in the Ice-Watch BMW M4 DTM to become the youngest ever German champion. It was also here that Bruno Spengler (CA) celebrated the 50th BMW win in the DTM and the first win since its DTM comeback in 2012. The DTM visits the Lausitzring for the 16th time. The spectators literally sit in the front row at this track: From the imposing stand near the start-finish straight, you can almost see the entire track. The DTM competes on the 3.478-kilometre loop that is made up of sections of the tri-oval and the circuit. Like last season, the International German Motorcycle Championship SUPERBIKE*IDM will be part of the supporting programme for the DTM. Numerous BMW riders will line up on the starting grid on the BMW S 1000 RR, including the 2013 champion and current overall leader, Markus Reiterberger (DE). Four BMW DTM drivers were back in action on 16th and 17th May: Maxime Martin (BE) competed alongside Lucas Luhur (DE), Markus Palttala (FI) and Richard Westbrook (GB) at the Nürburgring 24 Hours (DE), where he finished runner-up.

    BMW Presse- und Öffentlichkeitsarbeit DTM BMW DTM-Fahrer besuchen BMW Werk Leipzig – Premieren- Ausfahrt im Plug-in-Hybrid-Sportwagen BMW i8. Oschersleben (DE), 13. September 2013. Auf dem Weg zum achten Rennen der DTM-Saison in Oschersleben (DE) haben die BMW DTM-Fahrer im BMW Werk in Leipzig (DE) Station gemacht. Bruno Spengler (CA), Dirk Werner (DE), Augusto Farfus (BR), Joey Hand (US), Martin Tomczyk (DE), Andy Priaulx (GB), Marco Wittmann (DE) und Timo Glock (DE) starteten ihren Besuch mit einer Autogrammstunde. Hunderte BMW Mitarbeiterinnen und Mitarbeiter nutzten die Gelegenheit, um den Piloten ganz nah zu kommen, Gespräche zu führen und Fotos zu machen. Nächster Höhepunkt war eine Führung durch die Produktionsanlagen für die BMW Automobile von morgen, den BMW i3 und den BMW i8. BMW i steht für visionäre Mobilitätskonzepte und eine neue Interpretation der Premium- Charakteristik, die sich stark über Nachhaltigkeit definiert. Der rein elektrisch angetriebene BMW i3 und der Plug-in-Hybrid-Sportwagen BMW i8 werden in Leipzig an völlig neu entwickelten Produktionsstraßen gebaut. „Es war absolut großartig und faszinierend, einen Einblick in die Zukunftstechnologien zu erhalten“, sagte Farfus. „BMW setzt mit diesen visionären Fahrzeugen neue Maßstäbe. Über kurz oder lang halten derartige Technologien sicherlich auch Einzug in den Motorsport.“ Zum Abschluss eines gelungenen Tages wartete auf Farfus und seine DTM- Kollegen noch eine ganz besondere Überraschung. Auf dem werkseigenen Testgelände durften sie sich selbst ans Steuer eines BMW i8 setzen und ihre Premierenausfahrt mit diesem Fahrzeug wagen. Dank perfekter Synchronisation von Elektro- und Verbrennungsmotor ist er der erste reinrassige Sportwagen mit Verbrauchs- und Emissionswerten eines Kleinwagens.
