  • Wittmann receives BMW M4 Coupe at BMW Welt.
  • Extensive modifications ensure an even greater motor racing feeling.
  • Second DTM title for Wittmann in his fourth season.

 

Munich. Almost four weeks have passed since BMW works
driver Marco Wittmann won his second driver’s title in the final of
the DTM racing season at the Hockenheimring. On Friday the 18th of
November, he was a guest in Munich where he collected his new and very
special company car – the BMW M4 Coupe equipped with a comprehensive
package of BMW M Performance Parts. During the morning at the
workshop, the trained coachbuilder Wittmann was given a detailed
first-hand description of the fitted components before receiving the
key of his Java Green BMW M4 Coupe at the BMW Welt in the afternoon.
During the course of the day, he also gained his first impressions
behind the wheel of his new M automobile. 

“My new company car looks great and is a really fantastic drive,”
Wittmann said. “The colour suits me very well, because I love being on
the road in a slightly more conspicuous car. BMW M Performance Parts
refine the already awesome BMW M4 Coupe and turn it into a valuable
and unique one-off. Many thanks to BMW, the BMW M GmbH and to BMW M
Performance Parts. I will enjoy every kilometre in my new car.”

Extensive modifications to Wittmann’s BMW M4 Coupe.
The highlights selected by Wittmann himself
from the broad range of BMW M Performance Parts include a carbon rear
diffuser, a rear spoiler, front grille slats in high-gloss black and
side panel attachments. In the interior, a carbon gear selector trim,
pedal pads and LED illuminated door sills provide that special
something. The current BMW M Performance accessory range was developed
incorporating motorsport know-how, is perfectly aligned to each
respective model and can be combined to suit individual
preferences.
BMW is now supplementing the offer in this product
range with retrofit options for the BMW 5 Series. Furthermore,
model-specific BMW M Performance Parts are also available for BMW M
automobiles and all models of the BMW brand. The retrofit components
for the drive train, suspension, aerodynamics and cockpit, which were
all designed in close cooperation with the BMW M GmbH and BMW
Motorsport, ensure a noticeable increase in driving dynamics and
underscore the sportive note of the car’s exterior as well as the
interior ambience of each vehicle.

Second title for Wittmann in the fourth DTM year.
The racing car Wittmann drives on the racetrack
is even sportier than BMWs equipped with BMW M Performance Parts – the
Red Bull BMW M4 DTM. Since 2014, BMW has deployed this high-tech
racing car, based on the BMW M4 Coupe, in the DTM, the world’s most
popular touring car racing series, against direct competition from the
premium segment. On 16 October, in an exciting final after 18 races
this season, Wittmann secured the second DTM title of his still young
career. 26 years of age, he is the youngest two-time DTM champion of
all time and the first BMW driver in DTM history to gain two titles.
In 2014, he had already won the DTM driver ranking in a BMW M4 DTM.
