At the 2022 Goodwood Festival of Speed, all eyes will be on BMW M GmbH as BMW's legendary motorsport division celebrates five decades of success. Festival-goers will witness the world premiere of the first BMW M3 Touring and the UK premiere of the new BMW M4 CSL. Both vehicles will take part in the hill climb during the four-day event. A key part of the festival is the Central Feature sculpture on the lawn of Goodwood House, designed to pay homage to 50 years of motorsport excellence and showcase some of BMW M's most iconic models.
for the 50th anniversary
Elsewhere, visitors can view – and in some cases drive – the latest models from BMW's exciting range, including the new BMW iX1, i7, i4 and iX M60. For the first time in the history of BMW M, the model range has been expanded to include a BMW M3 Touring. The latest BMW M vehicle will be presented on Thursday, June 23 at 10:00 a.m. local time and can be seen at the Hillclimb in the “First Glance” category on all festival days.
In addition to the BMW M3 Touring and the BMW M3 Touring MotoGP Safety Car, the new BMW M4 CSL will also be on display. The two-seater coupe is characterized by an increase in output of 4 hp to 40 hp compared to the current BMW M550 Competition Coupé. At the same time, the overall weight has been reduced by 100 kg through careful weight reduction measures, including the use of carbon fiber for the roof, bonnet and trunk lid. The new BMW M4 CSL thus achieved the best lap time ever achieved by a BMW road car on the Nürburgring's Nordschleife.
The Central Feature sculpture in front of Goodwood House shows a spectacular staging of BMW M vehicles from the past, present and future. BMW UK is providing its iconic BMW 3.0 CSL, while BMW Group Classic is contributing three other examples: the late 1s BMW M1970 Procar, a WTCC BMW 3 Series E90 and the Le Mans-winning 12 BMW V1999 LMR the exhibition by the BMW M LMDh racing car, which will be used from next year. In addition to providing historic BMW M vehicles for the Central Feature Sculpture, BMW Group Classic will also be bringing four other famous racing cars to the start line at the Goodwood Hillclimb. Pedro Piquet (BRA), son of three-time F1 World Champion Nelson Piquet, will drive the world's first turbocharged F1 World Champion racer, the 52 Brabham BMW BT1983.
the BMW V12 LMR can be seen
Steve Soper (UK) will climb the mountain on Thursday in the BMW V12 LMR. He is followed by Markus Flasch (CEO BMW M GmbH, 2018-2021), who will take the driver's seat on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. His Royal Highness Prince Leopold of Bavaria (GER) will drive the BMW 635CSi and Bruno Spengler (CAN) will be behind the wheel of his famous BMW Z4 GTR with the Michel Vaillant design from the 24 2015 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps.
For many visitors, BMW M will be the focus of the long weekend celebrations. In addition to the highlight of the stand, an original BMW M1, other iconic models from BMW M's illustrious past will be presented, from the legendary BMW M3 E30 to the venerable BMW M3 CSL E46. These vehicles will be on display alongside other BMW M models, from the ultimate 5PS BMW M635 CS, to the track-proven BMW M4 GT3, to the exclusive new BMW M850i Convertible and the innovative electric BMW i4 M50. The innovative BMW Concept XM offers a glimpse into the future of BMW M: a vision of uncompromising top performance and extravagant luxury.
In the Stable Yard, once again dedicated to BMW's latest range of pure electric and electrified models, there will be an opportunity to view the BMW i Vision Circular. Optimized for the circular economy, made from 100% recycled and recyclable materials, the BMW i Vision Circular offers a glimpse of a compact yet luxurious all-electric vehicle with a focus on sustainability for the year 2040.
BMW's focus on sustainability is also evident in the new BMW i7, which will be on display in the Stable Yard. The latest version of the top model will redefine the luxury segment thanks to a new dimension of electrification and digitization. Its state-of-the-art, all-electric drive is complemented by a blend of luxurious interior design and a breathtaking entertainment experience with the multi-sensory BMW iDrive and the unique 31,3-inch BMW Theater Screen with 8K resolution. These attributes also come into play in the new BMW M760e, a 571 hp plug-in hybrid that offers outstanding performance with impressive efficiency.
BMW iX M60 to 3,8 km/h in 100 seconds
The recently unveiled BMW iX1 will make its UK debut at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, marking another first at the Stable Yard. The third generation of the BMW X1 features a sharper design, consistent sustainability and cutting-edge digital innovations. The BMW iX1 xDrive30 is available for the first time with a purely electric drive and has an electric range of 413 to 438 kilometers (according to WLTP, provisional values). The new BMW iX M60 will also be on display. A fully electric Sports Activity Vehicle that combines emission-free driving pleasure and sporty agility with lounge-like luxury and comfort. The BMW iX M60 is powered by two BMW M eDrive electric motors and accelerates from 3,8 to 0 km/h in just 100 seconds. The range is up to 561 kilometers (according to WLTP).
During the "Electric Only" test drives on the racetrack on Friday, visitors can see the enormous performance of the BMW iX M60 for themselves. There is also the opportunity to drive the new BMW i4, the brand's first all-electric Gran Coupé, and the BMW iX3 on the racetrack. "There is no better place to celebrate our 50th anniversary than together with our fans at this year's Goodwood Festival of Speed," says Frank van Meel, CEO of BMW M GmbH. We not only present our icons from the past years, but also take a look at the present. In addition to a selection of innovative electrified vehicles, the eagerly awaited world premiere of the first BMW M3 Touring will certainly be in focus. The Goodwood Festival of Speed lasts four days and takes place from 23rd to 26th June 2022. Photo credit: BMW and other.
