BMW Motorsport’s newest customer car, which made its debut in the 24-hout Dubai race in January, has gone on to win a number of races around the world. BMW notes that the season highlights for the car have included a win in the SP10 class in the Nürburgring 24 Hour race and GT4 titles in the Blancpain GT Series Asia and the British GT Championship. In the US, James Clay and Tyler Cooke scored the first North American win for the car with the #82 BimmerWorld M4 GT4 in the Continental Tire SportsCar Challenge season finale at Road Atlanta in October.
