Fans of <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/bmw">BMW</a> performance had two events to keep an eye on this weekend: the reveal of the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2013/08/16/bmw-m4-concept-monterey-2013/">M4 Concept</a> at <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/pebble+beach/">Pebble Beach</a>, and the efforts of the Bavarian automaker's <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/dtm">DTM</a> teams at the Nurburgring. What ties them together, however, is what BMW has in store for next year.<br />
<br />
The German carmaker has confirmed that it's already working on a new M4 DTM to campaign in the highly-competitive touring car series starting next season. It didn't reveal any details, but we can expect the M4 to make the same jump to competition spec as the M3 did before it. And with some success, we might add: successive versions of the M3 have won 48 DTM races over the years, starting with the checkered flag which Harald Grohs claimed at Hockenheim in 1987 through to the same race which Augusto Farfus won earlier this year. After taking home the title for BMW in its first year back in DTM last season, Bruno Spengler also won at the Red Bull Ring in Austria two months ago, but the Bimmer teams seem to be having a bit of trouble defending its title against fresh assaults from <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/audi">Audi</a> and <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/mercedes-benz">Mercedes</a>.<br />
<br />
BMW undoubtedly hopes the new M4 DTM will help it turn another new leaf, and we're looking forward to seeing how it all shapes up.
