BMW, which runs six M3 in the DTM championship, may run two more cars next season with a fourth team.
The german brand, which made its DTM return this season, is represented by teams Schnitzer, RMG and RBM, which run two cars each. That choice was made to focus on this learning season, while Mercedes and Audi both run eight cars.
In those circumstances, BMW is not in a good position for fighting for the constructor's championship. That's why the manufacturer will run two other cars next season. That could be made via one new team, which could be ROAL (who ran BMW 320si in the WTCC championship), or team Vita4One, which is running two Z4 in the GT1 championship.
Young german driver Marco Wittmann, currently test driver for the BMW DTM team, would have the opportunity to move to a race seat.
