At the 2024 FIA World Endurance Championship season finale, BMW faced challenges with their M4 LMGT3s and M Hybrid V8 Hypercars. The LMGT3s couldn’t make it to the Hyperpole session in qualifying, while the Hybrid V8 Hypercars did. Despite hopes for a podium finish, BMW’s #20 car had a drivetrain failure and had to retire before the fifth hour of the race. The team’s best bet for a podium finish, the #15 Hypercar, couldn’t maintain the pace needed due to tire management issues in the Bahraini heat. Driver Raffaele Marciello expressed disappointment with their P6 finish but acknowledged the progress made throughout the season and remained optimistic for the future. Looking ahead, BMW aims to build on their achievements and continue striving for success in the upcoming season.
