BMW is proud to have set a legacy as the provider of safety cars for MotoGP, with 2014 marking the 16th season they have this privilege.

Back when this the new safety car was announced we got a chance to gander at the BMW M4 in a few photos, and it was marvelous.

Now, with its official live debut at the Qatar Grand Prix, the BMW M4 is out there, and it does good on building on the work of its predecessors. The German car maker draped the car in their traditional M stripes and added a full body work from M Performance Parts.

While not the only safety car out there, as it is accompanied by a M5 and two M550d xDrive Touring, the BMW M4 certainly makes the best impression. After all, of the new generation of models, this has to be the most anticipated M variant. It certainly has a lot to prove, and its baptism at Qatar is a good start.

That’s unfortunately for me not being in France to see the BMW M6 Gran Coupe totally revealed and exposed to its beauty at the Arch du Triumph. That would have been a real experience for me.

Instead, my friends there told me that the BMW M6 Gran Coupe did quite well with all the paparazzi around. As a matter of fact, the news reporters had some great reviews on the racing car. My friends told me that, no offense.

They also gave me an inside on the news concerning the status of the car. The M6 Gran Coupe would serve the current headline MotoGP Safety Car, with some expectations from the M4 Safety Car to take over the as the lead Safety Car.

BMW is right now in its 15th season running as the “Official Car of MotoGP”, providing the official Safety Cars to the premier motorcycle racing series.

Other recent M cars that are competing as official Safety Cars concerns the M6 Gran Coupe, M6 Coupe, M5 sedan and also 1M Coupe.

The Safety Car is definitely the BMW`s number one car to be on the roads and on the tracks.
