This is a spec series, one-off cars with aero pacakges that somewhat resemble their road going cars.
Right, that's why I am curious to see what BMW may decide to change besides the lights. Aside from those, last year's car looks different enough from an E92 M3 that it could just as easily be called an F82 M4. So it will be interesting to see if they do make any other noticeable aesthetic changes, other than possible aerodynamic updates that have nothing to do with the styling of the production car to begin with.

They had that on the last cars too? Are they all turbo engines?
It's not a turbocharger, it's the symbol for the German postal service who sponsors the BMW teams or perhaps the series itself - can't remember which.

All cars use naturally aspirated 4.0L V8 engines. I believe it's next year that they switch to 2.0L turbocharged four cylinder engines.
