2015 BMW M4 DTM revealed

Although the 2015 M4 DTM looks virtually identical to last season's car, that's understandable because the homologation regulations didn't permit any major changes. Nevertheless, BMW Motorsport has continued with detailed development work in order to improve its racer.

Reigning drivers' champion Marco Wittmann is back to defend his title in an Ice Watch-backed entry. 2014's Rookie of the Year, Maxime Martin, joins him at BMW Team RMG.

A sponsorship deal with Shell means that the M4 DTM of Augusto Farfus gets a striking new red and white paintjob. Also competing for BMW Team RBM is current FIA European Formula 3 Championship runner-up Tom Blomqvist.

Although its capacity is only 875 cc, a turbocharger and the MultiAir electro-hydraulic valve control system mean it produces a respectable 83 bhp (62 kW / 85 PS) and 145 Nm (103 lb/ft) of torque. Performance might not be scintillating - the 0-62 mph (100 km/h) sprint takes 12.5 seconds and maximum speed is 108 mph (173 km/h) - but the TwinAir’s trump card is efficiency. Carbon dioxide emissions are only 98 g/km, a level that brings numerous benefits for UK drivers including zero road tax, a full discount on the London Congestion Charge and qualification for the lowest company car benefit-in-kind rate. Fuel economy is also decent and, according to the official figures, a TwinAir-powered MiTo will manage 67.3 mpg (4.2 l/100km) on the combined cycle.
