Le Mans, DTM, 24h Nürburgring, Super Touring Car Cup, American Le Mans Series and many more. There is scarcely any category where you don’t find the name Schnitzer in the history books.

Founded in the mid-1960s by Josef and Herbert Schnitzer, and significantly influenced by Charly and Dieter Lamm, the family team became the most successful team in BMW motorsport history.

Fairness and a down-to-earth approach, combined with the highest standards of professionalism and quality and an unlimited desire for success – values that have shaped the team’s success until its closure at the end of 2020.
