Chicago 2008: BMW Motorsport Plans a Surprise

Motive Staff

BMW will pull the wraps off a new 3-series coupe race car later today at the Chicago Auto Show. Judging by the bulging fenders and shape of the covered display car, it appears to be the rumored ALMS spec GT2 M3 rumored in the press and possibly linked to the Rahal Letterman racing team. That Bobby Rahal has been floating around the BMW stand this morning as well certainly makes us suspect that is the case. Full details will be published here following the BMW press conference later today and photos will be added to our 2008 Chicago Show Gallery.
