MotoGP and BMW

[kihtay]

Since 2003, BMW gives each season a model of its range "M " to the MotoGP rider who accumulates the most points during the qualifying rounds of each grand prix. To do this, the German mark follows the same points system applied at the end of each race , handing in the final round of Valencia a sports car the driver with the most points accumulated that year.

I thought this was pretty cool! Would be neat to own either of these!! Hayden sold his, and unsure if Rossi had or not. So someone on here may own them :P

This is very cool! I didn't know about this and I'm a Rossi fan. Thanks for posting kihtay.

Also, the Z4MC was used as the safety car for MotoGP.

I wonder if The Doctor kept it or not? I know Wayne Gardner kept his NSX.

I would definitely be ok owning his :P

That's pretty cool, never thought to look back to the Z4M years with GP. I wonder if either of them signed the car or anything like that. If Rossi had won an Interlagos Blue and signed it and I ended up with that car I would have felt required to put on Luminous Yellow wheels

Another of Rossi with the M... on the roof



Looks like Rossi also won a non-M back in '03?

Now I'm a little confused because looks like Colin Edwards won the M award in 06 also?

Think that's a different car than the one the Doc is standing on, this one has no plate, and if Doctor would have stood on that one, he would have gone through the rag top.. lol

Great pics Matt!

Lol Vanne, yeah but these riders are only light, Pedrosa is tiny and only weighs 54kgs.
