BMW M GmbH Founder Explains How It All Began

BIMMERPOST
     Featured on BIMMERPOST.com
In a special appearance, the founding father of BMW M GmbH (as BMW Motorsport GmbH), Jochen Neerpasch meets with current BMW M boss Markus Flasch for some Q&A about the story of the foundation and establishment of BMW's Motorsport division.

Towards the end of the video, Flasch asks Neerpasch about his current automotive stable.
Neerpasch's response comes as a complete surprise and somewhat ironic although understandable at the same time due to his age.




However, that is not to say Neerpasch doesn't still have gasoline in his veins.
As we'd expect from the person who was instrumental in the establishment of BMW's Motorsport division, Neerpasch still very much enjoys a nice drive, especially of a car he helped create.
Here's recent footage of him driving a 3.0 CSL along the famous Transfăgărăşan Highway in Romania.
