CarSifu wrote last week about the prototype debut of the new M4 and M4 GT3 at the event. The new M4 will make its world debut in the autumn.
On the subject of the new safety car, it is based on the 4-door M8 Competition Gran Coupe. The M8 Gran Coupe MotoGP Safety Car has been fitted with a plethora of BMW M Performance parts.
These include the carbon engine cover, including enhancement, the door mirror caps, the rear spoiler and the rear diffusor, the carbon grille on the sides and the steering wheel. The carbon front flaps and the front splitter are exclusively handmade.
Recaro sport seats provide optimum support for the driver, even at racing speed. Also vital for service as a safety car is the light bar on the roof, which uses the latest LED technology.

BMW M CEO Markus Flasch was present to congratulate the MotoGP victor.
“A fantastic performance saw him outpace the fierce competition in the MotoGP race at the BMW M Grand Prix of Styria. As a long-standing partner of Dorna and title sponsor of the event, we are delighted to honour Miguel with the new BMW M4 as a reward for his victory.
"But he will have to wait a little while to drive his BMW M4 – the car is so new that it isn’t actually on the market yet. However, we’re confident that he will have a lot of fun with it – as the first test drive shortly after the race has already proved.”
