For anyone who has ever experienced the thrill of driving a BMW and discovered that it is the ultimate driving machine first hand, it's a pleasure to meet you amongst the world wide web! Thank you for visiting Scottsdale Motorsports LLC online I'm Herschel Brewer the founder of Scottsdale Motorsport LLC. To the additional BMW enthusiasts in the world that absolutely love and adore BMW Motorsport non-street legal race cars and parts Willkommen in lhrer BMW Motorsport Wissensoase! I myself immediately became addicted to the sleek looks and raw power of BMW race cars and engines at a young age. This overtime inspired me to create an online source for non-street legal BMW racing knowledge, news, race cars, parts, inspections, certifications, restorations, consulting, fabricating and logistics. All of this took many years of working hard and learning from the source, BMW AG in Germany. Many thanks to the then president of BMW AG Dr. Helmut Panke for taking the time to communicate with me so many years ago, along with so many other factory BMW professionals along the way.
Like you, I've been a fan of BMW from a very young age. My first car when I turned 16 was indeed a beautiful classic BMW from 1985, the BMW 325 E "Eta" coupe. It was a safe, sporty, comfortable, solid car that had excellent fuel efficiency, not to mention style. Next was the 1987 BMW 325is E30 a small step up from the 325E coupe in factory German streetcar performance. I had always taken great pride in keeping the old 1987 325is in tip top shape. I found at a young age maintaining this classic vehicle with factory BMW parts to be incredibly beneficial. When you purchase any new BMW parts for street legal BMW vehicle's they come with a factory backed warranty for 2 years unlimited mileage, so save those receipts. Whenever family would come to town to visit they would have the option to borrow an E30, E36, or E46 BMW. Mom always enjoyed the E30 during her visits for its classic looks and natural sound. She always warned me if I modified it beyond the stock specification I might compromise the uniqueness in the vehicle. However, every time she would visit at least one street car upgrade would take place and she would notice and tell me how it only honed the driving experience and actually made the 325is even more fun to drive around town. Did you know suspension components from the E30 M3 can be installed into the E30 325is.
Then came the BMW M3 E30 that was armed with a lightweight charismatic powerplant that came in several homologation versions that helped BMW participate in Motorsport racing events with the M3 DTM Grp.A race cars from 1986 to 1992 such as the iconic Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters "DTM" a grand touring race car series. The series was based in Germany and expanded with rounds elsewhere in Europe.
No BMW classic story would be complete without mentioning my old friend and mentor Karl "Charly" Lamm, God bless his soul. Charly had taught me so many fascinating BMW historical details and would let me know how I could improve my own career with his excellent teachings. One of the highest compliments I had received was when Charly said to me "Herschel, you think very German" and being diplomatic himself made sure to let me know that he said this to me as a compliment. I already understood and appreciated this compliment, that was the kind of guy he was. Charly was an incredibly hard worker, loyal business partner to work with on BMW Motorsport projects and a great friend whom I will never forget. Working directly with the BMW Motorsport factory works team Schnitzer was a personal dream of mine. We worked closely together Charly and I planning and preparing BMW race car projects. Charly educated me from the very beginning in our Motorsport relationship that his BMW Motorsport factory works duties always take priority number one for he and Schnitzer Motorsport GmbH and because of this fact the customers I bring in will need to be extremely patient. This I completely understood, admired and respected as did most of my BMW Motorsport race car clients in need of our services.
It was an honor working with BMW and its members it never felt like work it was always uber fun, a true passion for motorsports and making a little history along the way was always my mission! Charly would comment on how the BMW team is progressing with testing and racing events at the time, sometimes things had to remain top secret and this I understood all too well with non-disclosure agreements. Many times Charly would mention how lady luck can be on your side in a race and sometimes not. The best things we can do in life, keep learning from our mistakes and failures big and small to be better prepared in our future motorsport endeavors. He was so incredibly humble for a man of his stature if I did not know the man I would have guessed he rarely ever made mistakes. Not true, Charly taught me we are always learning from our varying mistakes we make along the way in life, to fine tune and improve our own performance. Do not grind yourself down with the past, learn from it, always learn from it see the lesson and do better in the future because there will always be a next time.
The members of BMW Team Schnitzer had been working hard to win races for BMW as far back as 1963 and had amassed the most wins in a BMW Motorsport race car, more than any other team in the entire world! This was the team to work for if you loved super touring car racing, ELMS, ALMS, WTCC and 24 hour endurance races without a doubt. Charly, would take the time to call me in the USA at least 2 times a month from any location he was at racing around the world with the BMW Motorsport works Team Schnitzer to discuss motorsports business, logistics, life, religion, family and client sales and experiences.
I'm excited for the future and the past of all BMW race cars such as the BMW Motorsport 2002 Grp.4 & Grp.5 race cars, BMW Motorsport 320 Grp.4 & Grp.5 race cars, BMW Motorsport E26 M1 Grp.4 and Grp.5 race cars, BMW Motorsport 3.0 CSL Grp.4 & Grp.5 race cars, BMW Motorsport E30 M3 Grp.A DTM & Grp.N race cars, BMW Motorsport E36 M3 GTR, GT & Grp.N race cars, BMW Motorsport E36 318i & 320si Super Touring Car "STC" race cars, BMW Williams F1, BMW Motorsport E46 M3 GT, GTR, VLN race cars, BMW Motorsport E46 320 STC/WTCC race cars, BMW Motorsport E90 320si WTCC super touring car race cars, BMW Motorsport E92 M3 GT race cars, BMW Motorsport E89 Z4 GT race cars, BMW Motorsport F13 M6 GT race cars, BMW Motorsport M235iR/M240iR race cars, BMW Motorsport F92 M8 GTE & GTLM race cars, BMW Motorsport F82 M4 GT race cars, BMW M Motorsport M4 DTM Class 1, Prototype race cars, BMW Motorsport M4 GT3 race cars and the fast approaching BMW M LMDH prototype race cars and beyond!
I feel incredibly lucky and honored to have established international friendships with the Germans, these friendships span out from BMW Group, BMW Motorsport division, and retired BMW works team Schnitzer Motorsport that have stood the test of time.
Danke BMW Deutschland!
