BMW Going M And Hydrogen Mad At Goodwood

BMW has announced its exhibits for the upcoming Goodwood Festival of Speed, and there's a strong focus on two themes: special editions and hydrogen power. BMW will be bringing the all-newM3 CSto the show, taking it up the 1.16-mile hill climb course, while theBMW 3.0 CSLspecial edition will be part of a static display; BMW won't risk such anexpensive and exclusive car.

But it will risk another expensive and exclusive car in the form of the BMW H2R Record Car, a hydrogen-powered monster that set nine world records in 2004 with a 6.0-liter 12-cylinder engine borrowed from a BMW 760i of the time. This will race up Lord Marsh's driveway, as will the recently unveiled BMW 5 Series.

But wait, there's more.

The all-electric BMW i7 M70 xDrive will also make an appearance, as will thehulking BMW XM Label Redand the smallest M car currently on sale, the BMW M2. Showgoers will have the opportunity to experience electromobility from the seat of the BMW i5 eDrive40 and the range-topping i5 M60 xDrive. The car will also be on a static display in the First Glance area of the exhibit and in the Stable Yard and Trackside areas.

The Stable Yard is an exhibit dedicated to Bimmers, telling the story of thei Vision Circular concept car宝马计划如何成为“most sustainable manufacturer."
