BMW Motorsport GmbH and BMW M GmbH

BMW Motorsport GmbH was founded in 1972 with the idea of uniting all BMW motorsport activities under one roof and consolidating the construction of high-performance race cars and race engines. The BMW 3.0 CSL (CSL = Coupe Sport Light) made its debut as the first race car from BMW Motorsport GmbH in 1973. On the occasion of the foundation of BMW Motorsport GmbH, Robert A. Lutz, member of the Board of Management of BMW AG for Sales in 1972, stated: “A company is like a human being. If it does sports, it stays fit, enthusiastic, more effective and powerful.”

The BMW 3.0 CSL made its debut in the European Touring Car Championship in 1973 sporting the three defining BMW Motorsport colors of blue, violet and red on a snow-white background. Today’s updated Motorsport colors of are Blue – Dark Blue and Red.

This legendary color combination could be found on BMW M street vehicles which appeared in the second half of the 1970s as well as on successful race cars. Iconic cars such as the 1978 BMW M1 and the Brabham BMW with which Nelson Piquet won the 1983 Formula 1 World Championship.

From Isle of Man to Dakar – BMW Motorrad and motorsports

Racing success was not the exclusive realm of four-wheeled BMW vehicles however. Innovation stems from motorsport and this was especially true in the early decades. Legendary names from those early years include Ernst Jakob Henne who set no less than 76 world land speed records between 1929 and 1937 on supercharged BMW motorcycles and Georg “Schorsch” Meier who won the 1939 Senior Tourist Trophy on the Isle of Man on his 500cc supercharged BMW.

In 1976, exactly 37 years later, Helmut Dähn and Hans Otto Butenuth celebrated fifth place in the Isle of Man Production TT class. They had actually set the fastest time on their BMW R 90 S but due to handicap rules, they were listed in fifth place behind two 250cc and two 500cc motorcycles. Nevertheless, given the fastest time, this fifth place was celebrated like a victory.

74 years after “Schorsch” Meier’s success in the Senior TT, Michael Dunlop rode his BMW S 1000 RR to victory in the 2014 Isle of Man TT Superbike race. In the following years, the RR would go on to leave its unmistakable mark on the TT with more victories.

BMW M colors would also be represented in off-road conditions such as the Paris-Dakar rallies of the early 1980s which were dominated by BMW GS factory riders Hubert Auriol and Gaston Rahier.

Like no other BMW motorcycles, the M 1000 RR 50 Years M model carries all of this historic motorsport DNA within it.

  1. This is the proper weblog for anybody who desires to search out out about this topic. You understand so much its virtually exhausting to argue with you (not that I really would need匟aHa).

  2. The heart of your writing whilst appearing reasonable in the beginning, did not settle properly with me after some time.

  3. Thanks for your blog post. I would also like to say that your health insurance specialist also works well with the benefit of the actual coordinators of a group insurance policies. The health insurance broker is given an index of benefits wanted by anyone or a group coordinator. What any broker really does is search for individuals or perhaps coordinators which often best match those requirements. Then he offers his referrals and if both parties agree, the broker formulates a contract between the 2 parties.

  4. The things i have seen in terms of computer system memory is always that there are specifications such as SDRAM, DDR and so forth, that must match up the specifications of the mother board. If the personal computer’s motherboard is kind of current and there are no main system issues, updating the memory space literally will take under sixty minutes. It’s one of the easiest computer system upgrade procedures one can picture. Thanks for expressing your ideas.

  11. I have realized that in old digital cameras, special detectors help to concentrate automatically. The particular sensors connected with some cameras change in contrast, while others make use of a beam with infra-red (IR) light, especially in low light. Higher specs cameras from time to time use a mixture of both devices and probably have Face Priority AF where the digicam can ‘See’ any face as you concentrate only upon that.
