World Premiere: BMW M4 DTM Champion Edition

BMW M is launching the BMW M4 DTM Champion Edition to celebrate Marco Wittmann’s success in the 2016 season finale at the Hockenheimring. The production of this particular variant will be limited to 200 units only. To excite the crowd, BMW increased the power output by 51 kW/69 hp to 368 kW/500 hp and a 50 Nm increase in maximum torque to 600 Nm.

“Congratulations to Marco Wittmann, his team RMG and the entire crew from BMW Motorsport,” says Frank van Meel, President of BMW M GmbH. “We have the pleasure of honoring Marco’s performance by producing a BMW M4 DTM Champion Edition in 2016 to mark his winning the DTM driver’s title. Never before has one of our edition models been so closely linked to motor racing.”

The BMW M4 DTM Champion Edition reaches 0 to 100 km/h in only 3.8 seconds. Top speed is limited to 305 km/h. Thanks to the water injection technology of the M4 DTM Champion Edition, it gets improved performance levels.

The BMW M4 DTM Champion Edition 2016 is exclusively available in Alpine White. Design and shaping of the additional foiling is reminiscent of the look of DTM racing cars produced by BMW Motorsport. It features a front splitter, the aero flicks in front of the front wheel arches, exterior mirror caps, side skirt attachments, a rear diffuser as well as the large rear wing firmly mounted on the boot lid.

For the BMW M4 DTM Champion Edition 201 interior, both driver and co-driver sit in M Carbon bucket seats covered in exclusive Alcantara/Leather Merino. Everything in the interior is lined with high-quality covering material Alcantara.

In addition to other components, the bonnet, roof, instrument panel support and rear diffuser are made from carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP). The end silencer of the double-flow sports exhaust system featuring two pairs of tailpipes is made of exceptionally lightweight titanium.

The M4 DTM Chamption Edition sits on Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 high- size 265/35 R19 at the front and 285/30 R20 at the rear – mounted on light alloys boasting a star spoke design 666 M in Orbit Grey matte.

M carbon-ceramic brakes guarantee fade-free braking even in tough racing conditions. The individually adjustable 3-way coilover suspension is mechanically adjustable both for rebound and damping, thus allowing the car’s handling characteristics to be adapted according to personal taste.
