Munich, 12 February 2015: The 2015 season marks the 17th season of BMW M as “Official Car of MotoGP”. Ever since 1999, MotoGP organiser Dorna Sports has been able to rely on a dependable partner in the form of BMW M when it comes to ensuring the highest possible degree of safety at the pinnacle of motorcycle racing. This successful partnership has grown consistently over the years. Last autumn, Dorna Sports and BMW M Division extended their cooperation up to and including 2020. This means BMW will be able to celebrate the 20th anniversary of BMW M in MotoGP in 2019.
BMW is proud of this partnership, which spans over decades and is extremely rare in international, high-performance sports. BMW M has always been synonymous with technological innovations, and BMW is delighted to be able to present another new highlight this year: in the near future, BMW M Division will begin production of a model featuring water injection. Water injection is a system designed to increase the performance and reduce the consumption of combustion engines. BMW will be using this technology in the BMW M4 MotoGP Safety Car for the 2015 season for the first time.
When it comes to leading a field of high-performance racing prototypes safely in any conditions, technology gleaned from the world of motorsport and innovative ideas are indispensable. That is precisely why BMW M is the “most powerful letter in the world”. The new water injection is just one example of this. Outstanding driving properties and impressive performance parameters – this is what allows our high-performance automobiles to master any challenge, whether on the racetrack or in everyday use.
