Rahal Letterman Racing BMW ALMS Team

Martin Birkman, Motorsport Managet at BMW North America, goes on camera and share with us some technologies found in the BMW M3 ALMS model. I met Martin for the first time in 2008 at the Chicago Auto Show where he introduced the Rahal Letterman M3 and also more recently at the New York Motor Show where he was once again present at the introduction of the first all-wheel drive BMW Motorsport vehicle.

Having the opportunity to speak with him in New York, I was fortunate to learn more about the current M models and future plans for the Motorsport division. We have also talked about the innovative solutions brought into the twin-turbo V8 engine and touched base on the rumors of a future V6 engines. But that’s another story, for now let’s hear what Martin has to share with us about the amazing M3 ALMS.
