BMW M Motorsport revealed a special livery for the M Hybrid V8 commemorating 50 years of BMW North America. This livery was introduced prior to the Mobil 1 12 Hours of Sebring event happening this week. The design was inspired by BMW’s historic achievements in American motorsport, starting from the 1975 12 Hours of Sebring victory by the BMW 3.0 CSL. Throughout the years, BMW has seen successes at Sebring, including wins in 1999 with the V12 LMR, and in 2011 and 2012 with the E90-generation M3 GT2. Notably, the M4 GT3 secured a class win in 2023, the same year the M Hybrid V8 achieved its first IMSA GTP podium. The Team RLL M Hybrid V8s delivered a 1-2 finish at Indianapolis in the previous year.
