BIERMANN’S GREATEST HITS

BMW M3 (E30) RACE CAR

Touring cars get little more successful or famous than the E30 M3, one of Biermann’s early projects at BMW, owing to a background in which he did a spot of racing himself.

BMW X5 (E70)

The original X5 (E53) was a groundbreaking car. Biermann was project leader on the secondgeneration version, tasked with making it more luxurious.

BMW 1 SERIES M COUPE

Biermann’s arrival at BMW’S M Division, which he became head of in 2008, largely coincided with M’s move to turbocharged engines. The 1 Series M Coupé, a cult classic produced in 2011, is arguably the greatest of those so far.

HYUNDAI i30 N

Turbochargers, still, but also the first front-driven car that Biermann has headed development of. N division was already in progress on Biermann’s arrival, but he has seen a belting new hot hatch over the line.
