The set showcases the latest BMW M livery on both vehicles, which can’t be any different from each other.

The LMDh BMW M Hybrid V8 is a a plug-in hybrid race car which will compete in the upcoming 24 Hours of Le Mans, while the M4 GT3 races in several GT endurance championships around the world. BMW M Motorsport is gearing up for its inaugural season in the FIA World Endurance Championship (FIA WEC), and in anticipation, the official entry list has been revealed. The BMW M Team WRT is set to compete in both the Hypercar and LMGT3 categories. The Belgian team will be on the track with two BMW M Hybrid V8s and an additional pair of BMW M4 GT3 cars.

The preliminary driver lineup has also been disclosed, featuring the skilled pairing of Dries Vanthoor from Belgium and South Africa’s Sheldon van der Linde, who will take the wheel of the two LMDh cars. Meanwhile, the dynamic duo of Augusto Farfus from Brazil and the legendary Valentino Rossi from Italy is poised to make a significant impact in the cockpits of the BMW M4 GT3 cars. Rossi, known for his distinctive style, will add his iconic number 46 to the mix, promising an exciting and memorable season ahead.

But since we can’t all be race drivers, the closest thing to racing in a BMW racer is through these LEGO sets. So we might as well pick one up when they go on sale next year.
