Ever since revealing the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/bmw/m4/">M4</a> on nearly five months ago, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/bmw/">BMW</a> has been hard at work getting its new muscle coupe out on the track. It's made a <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2014/03/03/bmw-m4-dtm-official/">touring-car version to compete in DTM</a> and a <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2014/03/10/bmw-m4-motogp-safety-car-official/">safety car to set the pace at MotoGP</a> races, and now it's combined both into a new safety car for <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/dtm/">DTM</a> as well.<br />
<br />
The ninth M4 on the DTM grid is based on the production version, but fitted with numerous upgrades over the course of a two-month conversion process. For starters, it's been equipped with nearly exterior component from the M Performance Parts catalog, including the quad-tipped exhaust, front splitter, rear spoiler and diffuser, blacked-out grille, special mirror caps, side sills... the works. But that's not the end of the story.<br />
<br />
BMW M GmbH also gutted the interior, removing the rear bench and replacing it with a roll cage. It's got a pair of Recaro racing buckets with Schroth harnesses, plus special LED emergency lighting, radio communication system and, of course, special livery (albeit nowhere near as cool as the MotoGP one) to distinguish it as the official safety car when it makes its debut at the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/nurburgring/">N&uuml;rburgring</a> on August 17.<p><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2014/05/05/bmw-m4-dtm-safety-car/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>BMW rolls out new M4 safety car for DTM</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;backgr ound:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2014/05/05/bmw-m4-dtm-safety-car/">BMW rolls out new M4 safety car for DTM</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblo g</a> on Mon, 05 May 2014 11:01:00 EST.
