Now with no NA V8's for sale. I think BMW needs to move in all racing series to its turbo engines. The ALMS Z4's, Rolex series GT M3's, Continental series GS M3's should be changed over for next year to a proper production based turbo engine being developed for M3/M4.
This will cause them to lose the races initially unless the turbo engines are rock solid. But it will gain them more respect from race fans to run production based turbo engines that they sell rather then run engines that are not on sale anymore.
Well see how it turns out. I am hoping BMW does not pull out from ALMS, GrandAM, Continental, due to fears of losing due to lack of development they have done with there turbo engines in last 7 years. As they stuck with NA engine from M3 for racing.
I think all of us would love to see the new M3/M4 power plant racing in all series to keep the tradition rolling.
