Last year it was the French pilot Fabio Quartaro the one responsible for receiving one of the most interesting prizes in MotoGP, at least for four-wheel enthusiasts, a BMW M price which was accompanied by an immaculate BMW M5 CS. The performance sedan was not chosen for this year, as expected, since all the notoriety will fall on this occasion until the last arrival to the family of sports cars of the German brand.

The most practical M3
Indeed, we refer to BMW M3 Touring, that is to say the family version of the emblematic German model. The fastest rider in qualifying for the current MotoGP season will win a copy with a Frozen Black paint schemewith an interior led by Merino/Black leather upholstery and M sports seats. The recipe also includes M Competition brakes designed to contain all the inertia of the vehicle precisely and powerfully.

“2022 is a very special year for us at BMW M, with a host of major events related to our 50th anniversary. One of these is the first BMW M3 as a Touring model, which caused a stir when it was world premiere at the Festival of Speed in Goodwood at the end of June. This year is the flagship of our BMW M model range, so it only makes sense to offer the BMW M3 Competition Touring as a prize to the winner of the 20th BMW M Award.“, says Franciscus van Meel, CEO of BMW M.
“We are delighted to be able to celebrate such a special anniversary as this year with our award for the fastest rider in MotoGP qualifying this season. It shows the high regard that this competition has within the paddock. We wish the drivers the best and are excited to see who will emerge victorious from the exciting races to claim this BMW M3 Competition Touring at the end of the season.continued van Meel.

Under the hood of this machine is a 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-six engine capable of throwing on asphalt a total of 510 horsepower and a maximum torque of 650 Nm. Power is channeled through an eight-speed M Steptronic automatic gearbox that sends it to both axles through the brand’s M xDrive traction system. With all this, this family manages to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.6 seconds and its maximum speed can be 280 km/h, if an optional package is chosen.

Also in Safety Car format
Finally, it should be noted that the 2022 BMW M Award winner’s car will be presented this weekend during the British Grand Prix at Silverstone, accompanied by the first MotoGP BMW M3 Touring safety car. The latter will feature special BMW M 50 Years livery and all of the maximum motorcycling discipline safety cars from 1999 to the present day will appear on the car, in a clear tribute to the long association with the company Dorna Sports, owners of the MotoGP rights.
