Hey, rally fan here!

I know BMW doesnt have an official rally team but does anyone know if there are any private teams running Bimmers?

as far as I know, BMW doesn't have a rally team, nor are there any BMWs that run rally aside from on the amateur level.

Prodrive (David Richards) started prodrive rallying and building E30 M3. That was ProDrive's first race car back in 1985. The won the first rally they entered. It was a tarmac rally of course.

To this day at a professional level Prodrive has been the only A-Level team ever to run BMW's that I know of.

There are a few teams in europe that are rallying bimmers, but not on the world arena. BMW has been putting its money towards F1, GT and various touring championships, but not rally :(. I though that is what the iX platform was for anyway? :devillook Here is another good video of Toni Gardemeister doing it right in his M3 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G6SxrBsCFoA

You tell me that video is not a great reason to mandate the WRC be RWD only?!
