Presentation of the BMW M4 GT3 EVO at the Nürburgring: BMW M Motorsport makes the successful model even better.

Nürburgring. BMW M Motorsport engineers have been working
intensively to make their flagship in GT racing, the BMW M4 GT3,
even better. The result of this work is the EVO version of the car,
which was presented on Wednesday evening before the 24 Hours at the
Nürburgring (GER) in the M Showroom at the ring°boulevard. The BMW
M4 GT3 EVO will be in race action from the 2025 season. The same
applies to the BMW M4 GT4, which will also have an EVO version
available from next season.

The key to optimising the BMW M4 GT3 for the BMW M Motorsport
engineers was the intensive dialogue with teams and drivers, because
only when you know what customers need to be able to optimally drive a
GT car can you tailor it perfectly to their needs. Thus, the focus
with the BMW M4 GT3 EVO was not necessarily on pure performance but on
areas such as drivability, efficiency, and reliability. The test work
was primarily undertaken by BMW M works drivers Jens Klingmann (GER),
Bruno Spengler (CAN), and Augusto Farfus (BRA). The price of the car
is 578,000 euros net.

Details on the EVO package of the BMW M4 GT3.

From the outside, changes to the chassis are noticeable on the BMW M4
GT3 EVO, which is no longer traditionally painted but is coated with a
significantly lighter cathodic dip coating. Smaller aero mirrors,
larger air outlets on the front wheel arches, and an altered
adjustment range of the rear wing provide more aerodynamic efficiency.

New anti-roll bars on the front and rear axles, larger rear brake
discs, and a much finer and easier-to-adjust differential ensure less
tyre and brake wear and thus better and more consistent drivability.
The headlights at the front and rear in LCI design are also new.

The “Inception” design by BMW Group Designworks integrates the themes
of digitality and dimensionality into a bold, high-contrast mosaic.
From multiple perspectives the iconic M colours appear in the same
sequence they occur in the M logo: light blue on the left, dark blue
in the middle, and red on the right, but now in three extruded,
pixel-like dimensions. This approach sets up an asymmetrical overall
layout for the car which also integrates a non-reflective matte black
portion ahead of the driver to assist their forward focus. For the BMW
M4 GT3 EVO, for dark areas of the livery the foil has been omitted to
allow the authentic carbon fibre construction to show through, and
save weight at the same time.

Comments:

Andreas Roos (Head of BMW M Motorsport): “The BMW M4
GT3 has achieved more than 70 victories and countless major successes
since its introduction. I particularly remember the DTM titles in
2022, the victory at the 24h Spa-Francorchamps in 2023, and the title
wins in the North American IMSA series. I am convinced that the EVO
model of the BMW M4 GT3, as well as that of the BMW M4 GT4, will
contribute to playing in the first league of GT racing in the coming
years and celebrating many more great victories. I thank everyone
involved in the development of the cars.”

Björn Lellmann (Head of Customer Racing at BMW M
Motorsport): “Our engineers have listened very carefully to
the feedback from our customers during the development of the EVO
cars. The result, in our view, are models that make it even more
possible to be consistently close to the limit without taking too much
risk, exactly what drivers of all classes need to be fast. Our goal is
to win the very big races with our BMW M4 GT3 EVO and at the same time
provide every BMW M Motorsport customer with a package that offers
maximum chances of success.”

Jens Klingmann (BMW M works driver): “It is always an
honour to play an important role in the development of a race car.
Thank you to BMW M Motorsport for the trust! We have not made one big
improvement to the BMW M4 GT3, but have turned many smaller screws,
which will especially improve drivability on a long run. Our
conviction is that several small steps also make a big step. The car
is already very strong, but I am sure that we could make it even
better in its EVO version. The more gentle handling of the tyres and
brakes will especially help a lot at the end of a stint in the race.”
