Alpina is back in racing, after a 20 year hiatus. This will race in edurance racing in the GT3 class. Like the road car it has a 4.4 litre supercharged V8 with about 530bhp, and it weights 1350kg.

The race version looks even worse than the street version....tough to do.

I like it. I think the 6 Series has made the conversion to racecar quite well.

The 6-series has already been a racecar and the former one run in Grand-Am last year was better looking than this if memory serves (This one is hideous in my eyes).Originally Posted by NicFromLA
Hold on... Here it is, Automatic Racing's entry last year attached below. I think this was mentioned on UCP before.

The Sixer seems way too big to be a racer.
Cruiser yes, racer no.
It just kinda looks bloated.

looks angry, must've seen a mirror...

And it was rubbish.

uhm...it reminds me of the old 3.0 CSL, especially the front end.
ugly, quite yes, even if it's not its purpose to be good looking.
What I doubt is if it will be competitive enough, consider it's quite big and heavy as the base car, and that's going to face cars like the F430 Challenge, 997 GT3 Cup, Fordt GT, Viper Competition and so on.
oh wait, and the road car ig going to be replaced very soon.
perhaps it will be just a less-official maneuver by BMW to enter, in a couple of years, GT3 or GT2 directly.

I get the BMW Club magazine Roundel at home and it extensively covers BMW motorsport at factory and privateer levels and recently I read about that car and team and in conclusion, there are a lot of issues with the 6 as a race car. Mainly with weight distribution.

That's because the car works better in rap video's than anything else....when BMW gets off track they suck on track so to speak.

Bigger pics.
