BMW M4 GT3 to use Colors of Motorsport Partners

The 2023 DTM season will see three BMW M4 GT3s competing in the colours of BMW M Motorsport partners. Reigning champion Sheldon van der Linde (RSA) will be defending his title in Shell colours in the #1 car. His new team-mate at Schubert Motorsport, three-time DTM champion René Rast (GER), will adopt the blue RoboMarkets design and retain the number 33. With his new Project 1 team, two-time champion Marco Wittmann (GER) will be sticking with his trademark appearance: the number 11 and the green Schaeffler design. The second driver and the design of the fourth BMW M4 GT3 will be announced by Project 1 at a later date.  

Andreas Roos (Head of BMW M Motorsport): “We are delighted to be able to present three of the BMW M4 GT3s competing for Schubert Motorsport and Project 1 in 2023 DTM season in the colours of our BMW M Motorsport partners. So many race appearances would not be possible without their support. Thanks for the many years of fantastic support! It will be really special to see Sheldon van der Linde defending his DTM title, sporting number 1 in the classic Shell colours. The connection between Marco Wittmann and Schaeffler with the ‘Green Machine’ has also developed over the years. René Rast will also adopt the colours of the second Schubert car, and will certainly be an excellent representative for RoboMarkets with all his experience and class as a three-time DTM champion.”

Sheldon van der Linde (#1 BMW M4 GT3, Schubert Motorsport): “Only a short time ago, I could only dream of defending my DTM title in the #1 car. I spent the whole winter considering whether to exchange my number 31, which has always brought me so much luck, for the number 1, but such an opportunity does not come along very often. The #1 is the icing on the cake for my Shell livery. I am extremely proud to be going into my fifth season with Shell, my partner from day one. I cannot begin to imagine competing in any colors other than red and yellow.”

René Rast (#33 BMW M4 GT3, Schubert Motorsport): “Both the BMW M4 GT3 and the colours of my partner RoboMarkets are new to me, but I really like blue and I am looking forward to my new look in the DTM. I will do my best to chalk up some successes for BMW M Motorsport, the Schubert team and my partner. It is fantastic that I am able to race with my number 33 again. It has become my trademark in the DTM over the years.”

Marco Wittmann (#11 BMW M4 GT3, Project 1): “This will be the fifth year of the partnership with Schaeffler and we have become friends during that time. We have grown closer during successful periods and more trying times. The fact that we all come from the same region means that we can identify strongly with one another, the fans and the Schaeffler employees. The number 11 is more than just my racing number. It is a brand and has also become a part of my life. The tattoo on my wrist is proof of that. I am proud to be competing again in the DTM with the #11 ‘Green Machine’.”

BMW Horsepower King: The 3 Most Powerful Cars Ever Produced

A car without good horsepower is practically useless. Picture driving a car that accelerates sluggishly and drags on the road every time you take it out. It's not a pleasant experience and is a hassle for any car owner.

The greater the horsepower, the better the performance. Your car should always be at its peak performance when you drive. If you’re a BMW enthusiast, you have a wide array of powerful cars to choose from.

BMW has released numerous high-horsepower cars that drive like a dream. These vehicles, powered by impressive BMW V8 engines, boast horsepower ranging from 200 to over 600, with some rumored to reach up to 700 hp.

However, before purchasing your Optimal Used BMW, it’s essential to know which model offers the highest horsepower. A stylish car body isn't enough; you want a reliable vehicle that won't cost a fortune in repairs.

Read this article to discover which BMW has the highest horsepower and its remarkable features, ensuring you get a car that’s truly worth your investment.

2011 BMW M3 GTS (E92) - Packing a robust 444 horsepower

In 2010, BMW's engineers took inspiration from Porsche and created a GTS variant of the M3. They trimmed down the M3 by removing the rear seats, lightening the door trim, and slimming down the center console. Additional weight-saving measures included eliminating most of the sound system, replacing the rear windows with polycarbonate, and equipping the car with a lightweight titanium exhaust system. As a result, the GTS was approximately 100 pounds lighter than the standard M3.

Engine4.4-liter V-8Horsepower444 horsepowerTorque325 pound-feetTransmissionSeven-Speed AutomaticDrivelineRWD0-60 MPH4.4 secondsTop Speed190 mph

The GTS also featured a firmer suspension and a more potent engine. BMW modified the naturally aspirated 4.0-liter V-8, expanding it to a 4.4-liter V-8. Despite the substantial increase in engine size, the GTS generated only 30 additional horsepower and 30 extra foot-pounds of torque compared to the standard M3. However, the combination of increased power and reduced weight made the GTS significantly quicker than the base model. Unfortunately, BMW chose not to release the GTS in the United States.

M4 DTM Champion - A formidable 493 horsepower

To commemorate Marco Wittmann's victories in the Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters of 2014 and 2016, BMW crafted 200 exclusive M4 DTM Champion editions. These special editions were exclusively painted Alpine White, adorned with M racing-themed stripes that accentuated the car's sleek design. The aesthetic was further enhanced by exposed carbon fiber elements, including the front splitter, mirror caps, side skirts, rear diffuser, and rear spoiler, providing a striking contrast against the pristine white bodywork.

This special M4 was not only enhanced for performance but also underwent weight reduction for optimal agility. Equipped with a water injection system, it boasted 49 additional horsepower compared to the M4 with the competition package. To shed weight, components such as the roof, hood, and instrument panel support were crafted from lightweight carbon-reinforced plastic composites. Similar to the BMW M3 GTS, the M4 DTM Champion was not offered in the United States.

Tuners like Manhart have demonstrated the potential for even greater power from the M4 DTM. By extracting 708 horsepower from its engine, they showcased how BMW engineers could have pushed the limits further if they chose to do so.

2022 BMW X3M Competition - 503 Horsepower

The X3M is already an SUV that packs a surprising punch, but the Competition edition takes it to a whole new realm. With an additional 37 pound-feet of torque, it's like turning up the volume to eleven, though that analogy hardly does it justice. While the standard X3M maxes out at 155 miles per hour, the Competition variant pushes the boundaries to 177. Adding to its allure are 21-inch lightweight wheels, a sleek gloss black grille, and mirror caps. Inside, the seats feature more pronounced bolsters, ensuring a dynamic driving experience unmatched in its class.

2022 BMW X3M Performance Specifications

Engine: 3.0L twin-turbo Inline-six

Horsepower: 503 horsepower

Torque: 457 pound-feet

Transmission: Eight-Speed Automatic

Driveline: AWD

0-60 MPH: 3.2 seconds

Top Speed: 177 mph

The X3 M effortlessly blends opulence, performance, and the utilitarian appeal that resonates so well with American SUV enthusiasts. Step inside, and you're greeted with a high-tech digital gauge cluster, plush heated front seats, power-adjustable fronts, and ambient interior lighting that sets the mood just right. Opt for the bells and whistles—like heated rear seats, a panoramic sunroof, and a toasty heated steering wheel—and BMW will happily oblige for a little extra cash. Plus, the X3 M doesn't compromise on practicality, offering ample room for both passengers and cargo, ensuring every journey is as comfortable as it is exhilarating.

Schaeffler es el partner oficial de innovación del DTM

El DTM ha recibido la luz verde para lanzarse a la carrera hacia el futuro, con el compromiso de Schaeffler para continuar su colaboración con la serie alemana de competiciones de motor, que actualmente se encuentra bajo el paraguas de ADAC. Como partner oficial de innovación, el proveedor global líder de los sectores de la automoción y la industria colaborará con ADAC en el desarrollo técnico y estratégico continuado del DTM. "La innovación forma parte del ADN de Schaeffler. Es lo que da forma al futuro de la movilidad eficiente y sostenible, y desempeñamos un papel clave en este aspecto", ha dicho Matthias Zink, CEO Automotive Technologies de Schaeffler. "Por este motivo vamos a continuar ofreciendo nuestra asistencia al DTM. Queremos continuar progresando como pioneros en movilidad y promover el avance técnico y estratégico de esta serie de carreras en colaboración con ADAC. En este sentido, nuestra colaboración continuada con el DTM nunca estuvo en duda". Marco Wittmann competirá en la serie para Project 1 al volante de un BMW M4 GT3 que lucirá el color verde emblemático de Schaeffler. Este piloto de 33 años originario de Fürth es embajador de la marca de la empresa desde 2019.

El DTM aporta una plataforma desde la cual Schaeffler puede desarrollar y exhibir tecnologías clave del futuro. En 2021, la empresa desveló el revolucionario sistema steer-by-wire Space Drive, una innovación en la que no solo se controlan electrónicamente la dirección y los frenos, sino también la transmisión. Para exponer este notable logro, Schaeffler aporta un vehículo especial, el "taxi de innovación" de Schaeffler, que se utilizará en todos los eventos del DTM de este año. Schaeffler también está desarrollando y fabricando sistemas de transmisión para electrificar los deportes de motor. Aquí se incluyen componentes y sistemas fiables y potentes tanto para la electrificación parcial como para la total, así como accionamientos con pilas de combustible.

"Schaeffler hace mucho tiempo que está asociada con el DTM y estamos encantados de que esta empresa sea nuestro partner oficial de innovación. Juntos moldearemos el futuro de la serie", ha dicho Thomas Voss, responsable de ADAC Motorsport. "Con su experiencia y conocimientos técnicos, Schaeffler es un impulsor clave de la innovación en los deportes de motor. Estamos seguros de que el DTM continuará siendo un entorno emocionante que puede contribuir a promover cambios revolucionarios en la manera de hacer las cosas".
