<a href="http://www.autoblog.com/bmw/">BMW</a> has some considerable racing prowess to crow about, and draws on those credentials to create models like the new <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/bmw/m4/">M4</a>. But it's not about to rest on the laurels it's won at the end of innumerable races past and present. Mere months after the release of its latest performance coupe, BMW has already revealed a new <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2014/03/03/bmw-m4-dtm-official/">M4 touring car for the DTM series</a>, and has now unveiled its new M4 safety car for the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/motogp/">MotoGP</a> motorcycle championship.<br />
<br />
Revealed on the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/BMW.M">BMW M Facebook page</a> and set to debut at the front of the grid at the season opener in Qatar a couple weeks from now, the new M4 safety car is just the latest in a long string of official vehicles it has provided to the MotoGP series. Previous examples have included everything from the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2011/03/18/pics-aplenty-bmw-1-m-motogp-safety-car/">1M Coupe</a> to the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2012/05/19/bmw-rolls-out-new-m6-safety-car-for-motogp/">M6</a> and the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/04/12/setting-the-pace-bmw-x6-m-debuts-as-motogp-safety-car/">X6 M</a>.<br />
<br />
Like its <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/bmw,motogp/">predecessors</a>, the M4 safety car features emergency lighting, special equipment and of course BMW's trademark white livery with red, navy and light blue stripes that, in this arrangement, give the new <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2014/03/07/williams-martini-racing-f1-official/">Williams Martini Racing</a> livery a run for its money. Logos promote the BMW M Performance Parts you can buy to bring your own Bimmer up to spec, which on this car isn't likely have changed much from stock.<p style="padding:5px;backgr ound:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2014/03/10/bmw-m4-motogp-safety-car-official/">BMW unleases new M4 as MotoGP safety car</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblo g</a> on Mon, 10 Mar 2014 08:01:00 EST.
