“I would like to sincerely thank the entire BMW M Motorsport family, all the engineers and all the mechanics for the last 13 yearsdeclared Bruno Spengler. I have had the privilege of driving some incredibly fantastic racing cars all over the world. I would like to especially thank former BMW board member Dr. Klaus Draeger, who particularly supported me during my first years at BMW M Motorsport, as well as Charly Lamm and the entire Schnitzer family, with whom won the DTM title in 2012 and had many fantastic years together. The decision to leave the BMW M Motorsport family was not easy to make, but I am at a point in my career where a new challenge with a long-term perspective was important to me. That’s why I decided to take this step. »
