A year ago this car was an April Fool.
Three months ago no-one knew it existed.
Now it comes fifth at the Nürburgring 24h.
I love BMW M so much. Road and track.
(now we need that rally raid M2 though)

Corrida dramática até ao momento final (literalmente)!

O carro de Max Verstappen (nr. 3) teve um problema mecânico nas últimas horas da corrida e acabou no trigésimo oitavo lugar da sua classe (SP9).

Be BMW
Make April Fools joke about a station wagon race car.
Get such good response, think "fuck it, let's build it."
Enter the car in the Nürburgring 24 hour race for the memes.
Come fifth overall, second best BMW.
Absolute cinema

11 hours to go at the Nürburgring 24 Hours and this race has been utterly captivating. Night battles through the Green Hell, mechanical drama, position swings — there's nothing like it in motorsport.
