BMW M Motorsport secures multiple class victories at Nürburgring NLS 2025 opener

BMW M Motorsport teams kicked off the 2025 Nürburgring Endurance Series with seven class wins, including SP8T and SP10 AM triumphs, preparing for the 24-hour race.

The season kicked off in style for BMW M Motorsport on the legendary Nordschleife. The opening race of the 2025 Nurburgring Endurance Series (NLS) served as a crucial step in preparing for the season’s highlight — the 24-hour Nürburgring race in June.

ROWE Racing’s flagship crew, driving the updated BMW M4 GT3 EVO, secured a solid fifth place after four intense hours of competition. The #98 car was piloted by a strong international lineup: Augusto Farfus (Brazil), Jesse Krohn (Finland), Raffaele Marciello (Switzerland), and Kelvin van der Linde (South Africa). Despite fierce competition, the team demonstrated consistency and laid a solid foundation for further preparations ahead of the endurance classic.

The debut of the new BMW M4 GT4 EVO also proved highly successful. Team BILSTEIN by BLACK FALCON and FK Performance Motorsport claimed commanding victories in the SP8T and SP10 AM classes, respectively. Overall, BMW teams celebrated seven class wins, underscoring their competitive edge and readiness for the season.

The next NLS round is scheduled for April 26. In the meantime, teams will continue fine-tuning their setups and strategies, keeping their sights firmly set on the grueling 24-hour challenge — a true test of man and machine on one of the world’s most demanding circuits.

Buoyed by a strong season opener, BMW M Motorsport is determined to build momentum and make every lap of the “Green Hell” count as they prepare for the ultimate showdown of the year.
