Munich. The 2026 season BMW M Motorsport works driver line-up is complete. The latest and youngest member to join the BMW M Motorsport family is German talent Tim Tramnitz. This means that the BMW M works driver line-up for the coming season includes 23 top-class drivers from eleven nations. The second new addition alongside Tramnitz is South African Jordan Pepper .

 

At 21 years old, Tim Tramnitz succeeds Ugo de Wilde (BEL) as the youngest BMW M works driver. The German competed in the FIA Formula 3 Championship over the past two seasons and finished fourth overall in 2025. In 2021, he was runner-up in both the German and Italian Formula 4 Championships. Between 2011 and 2019, he was active in karting and celebrated numerous title wins. In January, Tramnitz impressed during a junior driver evaluation at the wheel of the BMW M4 GT3 EVO and will contest selected races in 2026.

 

The new addition announced in December 2025, Jordan Pepper (RSA), made a perfect debut by winning the 24 Hours of Dubai (UAE) and will also compete for Team WRT at the Bathurst 12 Hour (AUS) next weekend. Jesse Krohn (FIN) and Madison Snow (USA) will no longer be part of the BMW M Motorsport line-up in 2026.

 

Andreas Roos (Head of BMW M Motorsport): “We are very pleased to have Tim Tramnitz, one of the greatest German young talents, in our ranks. In January, we evaluated several junior drivers during a test in the BMW M4 GT3 EVO, as we deliberately wanted to add another young member to our line-up. Tim impressed us with his performance and steep learning curve during his GT3 race car debut. I am sure we will have a lot of joy with him in the future. In general, we once again have a very strong works driver squad in 2026, with an excellent mix of youth and experience. We are well prepared for the extensive race programme ahead of us with the BMW M Hybrid V8 and the BMW M4 GT3 EVO. I would like to once again welcome Tim Tramnitz and Jordan Pepper to the BMW M Motorsport family and sincerely thank Jesse Krohn and Madison Snow for the very successful collaboration over the past years.”

 

Tim Tramnitz: “I am super happy to now be part of the BMW M Motorsport family and look forward to the challenge. For me, this is a big step, as I have dreamed of becoming a works driver for a major manufacturer since my time in karting. I would like to thank everyone involved for their trust and can’t wait to contest my first races at the wheel of the BMW M4 GT3 EVO.”

CO2 emission information.

Fuel consumption, CO2 emission figures and power consumption and range were measured using the methods required according to Regulation VO (EC) 2007/715 as amended. They refer to vehicles on the German automotive market. For ranges, the NEDC figures take into account differences in the selected wheel and tyre size, while the WLTP figures take into account the effects of any optional equipment.

All figures have already been calculated based on the new WLTP test cycle. NEDC figures listed have been adjusted to the NEDC measurement method where applicable. WLTP values are used as a basis for the assessment of taxes and other vehicle-related duties which are (also) based on CO2 emissions and, where applicable, for the purposes of vehicle-specific subsidies. Further information are available at www.bmw.de/wltp and at www.dat.de/co2/.
