BMW has revealed that it will be bringing a trio of historic BMW racecars to this weekend’s Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca. The trio will be the #25 BMW 3.0 CSL (above), the BMW M1 IMSA Group 4 endurance racer and the BMW M5 IMSA Bridgestone Supercar Championship 1994-’95 winner. The CSL, one of five built for the company’s IMSA Camel GT campaigns of 1975 and ’76, won the 12 Hours of Sebring in 1975, so is celebrating the 40th anniversary of that feat. It will be driven in run Group 4A by BMW of North America President and CEO Ludwig Willisch.
The M1 was originally raced by David Hobbs, Marc Surer and Dieter Quester, and will be driven at Laguna by Time magazine’s auto correspondent Jason Harper, while the M5, winner of the Supercar Championship in 1994 and ’95, will be driven by David Donohue, who claimed his first professional championship with the car in ’94.
