BMW M2 RACING – Behind the Scenes – Episode 1.
On the way to the new entry-level car by BMW M Motorsport.
For many people, motorsport is much more than just a spectator sport – they dream of racing themselves. Since 2014, BMW M Motorsport has been helping a growing number of drivers and teams to realise this dream: M GmbH not only produces affordable and competitive entry-level cars such as the BMW M235i Racing, the BMW M240i Racing and the BMW M2 CS Racing, but also sponsors racing series such as the BMW M2 Cup. The new BMW M2 Racing now takes these strengths to the next level with more performance and new racing technologies.

In order to continue offering an affordable yet fully-fledged race car at the cutting edge of technology with the new BMW M2 Racing, BMW M has drawn on a proven production philosophy: the development of production and racing cars goes hand in hand. This guarantees maximum exchange of expertise and enables the M2 Racing to be developed at the interface between series production and motorsport. The result is a racing car that uses series components wherever possible in order to keep manufacturing costs down.
This includes the series chassis of the BMW M2 G87 base model, which must prove its performance during development: in a test phase with three different vehicles, including an endurance car that will have completed 30,000 kilometres on the race track by the end of the test cycle.
As a grand finale, we will complete the 24-hour race with the BMW M2 Racing on the Nürburgring Nordschleife.
