Ok, so maybe this was not that much an original move on their part, especially since the MotoGP safety car is also an M4, but I have to admit that the one used for the DTM manages to distinguish itself quite well.

Just like the BMW M4 used in the MotoGP, the DTM variant sport M Performance parts all around, from the custom front grille and splitter to the rear spoiler and exhaust system. In fact, the only noticeable difference between the two is the color scheme they went for.

While the MotoGP safety car was painted quite heavily, the DTM BMW M4 sport a simpler, yet more aggressive theme. The black, white and grey colors make for a more serious machine. Apart from what is obvious in the pictures provided, the BMW M4 safety car also come equipped with a fire extinguisher, Recaro seats and Schroth harnesses, KW coilovers an plenty other goodies.

After a series of pictures, we now can also enjoy a video of the M4 safety car peeling off at its official debut.

The Qatar Grand Prix is the first race the Bimmer will be used for, and even though it is not the only BMW used for this purpose, it is certainly the most interesting. I, personally, really enjoy it, not just because it is an M4, the highly anticipated successor to the lengedary M3 Coupe, but also because it looks absolutely awesome dressed up as a safety car.

And as expected, looks are not all there it to the car, as it has to keep up in an racing environment. In fact, a taste of this can be seen when it peels off on the Qatar race track, kicking its rear out slightly. A lot of M Perfornace Parts went into the build also, and if you watch the video below, you can even enjoy a few seconds of the exhaust soundwork.
