Pure and simple. BMW Motorsport has produced several landmark cars in its 50 years of competition across several different motorsport disciplines. Below, we have tried to get as many of the BMW race car models listed as possible. You can tell from the list, BMW motorsport division has been producing fantastic, competitive cars. It\u2019s main areas of success have been on the road and in touring car racing, but it\u2019s also taken big victories in sportscar competition and Formula 1. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">BMW Formula 1 &amp; Formula 2 Race Cars<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 18px\">BMW has a history of success in&nbsp;Formula One, both as an engine supplier and as a factory team. BMW only became an official F1 constructor in 2006, but this followed two spells as an engine supplier. The first, in the 1980s, saw it break ground with the first turbo engine to power a driver to world championship success in 1983. It returned in 2000 with Williams and was winning Grands Prix the following year. But the partnership failed to deliver a championship, so the Munich marque took over the ailing Sauber team at the end of 2005. Robert Kubica scored BMW\u2019s first win in the 2008 Canadian Grand Prix. However after an unsuccessful 2009 BMW pulled out of F1, though its name remained officially attached to the team in 2010. In Formula Two, BMW pilots used the sporty pre-war BMW 328 model as the basis for early post-war efforts in the&nbsp;Formula Two&nbsp;series, a stepping stone to&nbsp;Formula One; the 328 occasionally participated in F1 races. BMW ran its own team, but other smaller teams such as&nbsp;Veritas,&nbsp;AFM, Jicey and EMW&nbsp;also used cars derived from the 328.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/2015_bmw_3.0_csl_hommage_r_8_1600x1200.jpg\"><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Best BMW Race Cars Ever Created<\/h2>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">We Pick The Thirteen Greatest BMW Race Cars<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 18px\">It is no surprise then that BMW has a long history of racing success across all forms of motorsport. Apart from the factory efforts, many privateer teams enter BMW road cars in Touring car racing. Given its connection to road cars, it is clearly an area where BMW focused a lot of effort. Cars like the Schnitzer M3 (E30) Sport Evo and CSL Batmobile (E9) as well as the entire Procar M1 series added a lot of credibility when buyers showed up to showrooms to see BMWs they could buy. Over its storied history, BMW also entered cars or provided engines in Formula One, Formula Two and sportscar racing. It is also no stranger to endurance racing with its epic BMW V12 LMR (still a favorite here at the Supercars.net office).<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BMW Race Cars From Formula 1 to GTM and rally racing, BMW has been an active participant in motor racing from the beginning of the company&#8217;s history.
