The 2018 DTM season is getting closer to its maiden race and BMW revealed its six liveries for the M4 race cars that will take part in the 10 races. The first one we already knew, the M Performance M4 DTM car of Marco Wittmann being unveiled earlier this year, ahead of its first test on the Vallelunga track in Italy. However, the design of the remaining five cars has been revealed today for all those enjoying some DTM action.
The modern, dynamic look was implemented individually for each BMW M4 DTM and customized to suit the car. The matte black element on the driver’s side of the bonnet and the v-shaped transition to the rear make for a unique recognition value. Long-standing BMW Motorsport partners remain part of the DTM project in the 2018 season. Bruno Spengler will take to the track once again with the number 7 BMW Bank M4 DTM. Brazil’s Augusto Farfus will return to the wheel of the number 15 Shell BMW M4 DTM. Timo Glock will contest the upcoming season in the number 16 DEUTSCHE POST BMW M4 DTM once again.
