BMW M4 Safety Car Steals The Show.

BMW almost stole the show at Doha….with it’s safety car

After showing us the brand new Safety Car for the 2014 MotoGP season in online photos, this weekend BMW officials brought the M4 Coupe out for live viewing and live photos at the first race of the season, the Qatar Grand Prix in Doha.

This marked the 16th season as “Official Car of MotoGP” for BMW and the continuos collaboration between the Germans and the MotoGP World Championship.

For this is a car that will run with the fastest bikes in the world, special changes were done to it, to better cope with its responsibility as Safety Car. Therefore, the M4 Coupe received a full body wrap with the traditional M stripes and stickers from the sponsors and a light bar on the roof.

Furthermore, a complete M Performance kit was added on the outside including a front bumper lip, new side skirts, new wheels, carbon fibre mirror covers, rear diffuser and blacked out kidney grilles.

Inside, all the seats have been removed and just a pair of Recaro racing seats was added up front, fitted with Schroth belts. To make sure the sound will match the look, the stock exhaust was replaced by an Akrapovic titanium one that sounds more than enticing.

Apart from the M4 Coupe, the competition will also get an M3 Sedan Safety Car from BMW alongside an M5 and two M550d xDrive Touring cars as medical units.

“BMW M is proud to be part of the MotoGP success story for the 16th season running. We are delighted that the BMW M4 Coupé experienced its baptism of fire as a safety car out on the racetrack,” said Thomas Schemera, Director of Sales and Marketing BMW M GmbH.

“Four generations of the BMW M3 have combined motorsport genes and unlimited suitability for daily use into one highly emotional overall concept. The BMW M4 Coupé is a natural progression of these fundamental ideas. We are certain that this model will set new standards with regard to the overall concept, precision and agility,” he added.

Top Picks for 2013

It’s not only the season to be jolly, it’s also a period where the pundits come out with their winners lists…the best of the best for the year just gone.

At Car Advice, the testing crew had differing opinions as to which cars deserved the Gongs. The Editor-in-chief, Jez Spinks gives the top prize to the BMW i3.

“Will electric cars ever be bought by the masses rather than a minority mix of wealthy early adopters or government fleet buyers? We’re still many a year away from the former scenario, but the BMW i3 (above) is one of the most convincing examples of the breed yet. Characteristically linear and near-silent motoring marries with the kind of futuristically detailed exterior design and luxurious, eco-inspired avant garde interior that makes this electric car feel more special than others of its kind and almost justifies its elevated price tag (from $60,000 estimated). If you venture out of the city, your smartphone can link up with a BMW super-computer that will show you public transport details and options in case you’re battery charge isn’t going to get you to your destination. And if you’re one to get anxious about range limitations, then the i3 is also available with an optional ‘range extender’ that uses a two-cylinder bike engine to help recharging on the go.”
