BMW M3 GT4 will take part of the 24-hour race on the Nürburgring’s Nordschleife on 23rd/24th May 2009. Drivers are Augusto Farfus (BR), Jörg Müller (DE) and Andy Priaulx (GB).

BMW M3 GT4 will be priced at 120,000 euros and is the latest addition to BMW’s Customer Racing product range.

Müller and Priaulx will be behind the wheel of the BMW M3 GT4 when they race for Schubert Motorsport
in the Eifel region. The two drivers, who are normally involved in a battle for glory for BMW in the FIA World Touring Car Championship (WTCC), will join forces with motor racing journalists Marcus Schurig (DE) and Jochen Übler (DE).

The Nordschleife at the Nürburgring has played a very special role in the history of BMW. According to BMW, last year alone, one third of the 150 cars that completed the 24-hour race were BMW made.

Plus the fact that Nürburgring is the place where pretty much all new BMW cars will go through extensive testing before they enter production.
