BMW Z4M Coupe Racing Kit

No, don’t be afraid, Bangle did not attempt to design the Batmobile 2007, as this is BMW’s new racing car for customer motor racing. The Racing Version of the BMW Z4 M Coupe, is the first two-seater BMW Motorsport offers for customer teams. The new motorsport coupe can be used by private BMW customer teams in the German Endurance Championship and in the Nürburgring 24Hour Race. The power unit of the coupe is a BMW Motorsport designed 3.2-litre in-line 6-cylinder engine delivering about 400bhp, with the suspension area in particular benefiting from the knowledge gained from the successful BMW M3 GTR project.

With its varied component ranges, BMW Motorsport and BMW Racing Parts Distribution offer customer teams a new technology platform for use in many miscellaneous international racing and club sport series, with the Nordschleife enthusiasts not being the only interested party, as the brawny coupe also represents the perfect car for use in the Belgian Belcar series and other, non-European, endurance series.

The kit can be ordered from May 2006 at BMW Motorsport and will be available for an estimated € 250,000 (plus VAT).
