Bill Auberlen is one of the most accomplished drivers in American sports car racing and one of BMW’s longest-serving factory drivers. Auberlen has driven BMWs in more races than anyone in the world, more than 400 of his nearly 600 career starts, and he remains under contract with the brand today. He has over 90 victories and 180 podium finishes. He began his professional career in the 1990s and has driven BMWs for most of it, becoming one of the brand’s most recognizable ambassadors in motorsport.
Auberlen holds the record for the most class wins in IMSA history, with victories at endurance classics including the Rolex 24 at Daytona and the 12 Hours of Sebring. Respected in the paddock for his speed and consistency, and well known for making time for fans, Auberlen remains a fixture of BMW’s racing legacy in America.
This one-of-a-kind commemorative painting brings together two BMWs that bookend a remarkable career: the No. 24 BMW M Hybrid V8 at the Motul Petit Le Mans and the No. 10 Prototype Technology Group (PTG) BMW M3.
Artist Bill Patterson painted this piece in acrylic on canvas, measuring 48" x 36".
An incredible piece for any BMW enthusiast, racing fan, or collector, it’s a chance to own a celebration of one of the winningest careers in American sports car racing.
