BimmerWorld to Unveil "Bergsteiger", an E36 BMW, at SEMA

BimmerWorld will unveil "Bergsteiger" at this year's SEMA show in Las Vegas. Bergsteiger—German for mountaineer or mountain climber—reveals BimmerWorld's vision for a Pikes Peak International Hill Climb car, combining humongous turbos with even bigger aerodynamic bits affixed to an E36-chassis BMW M3. BimmerWorld will do the big unveil on November 5 at the OPTIMA Batteries booth.

Over two years ago, we began work on the BimmerWorld Bergsteiger (mountain climber) E36 - our sophomore Pikes Peak International Hill Climb car which would meld big turbos and big aero with the iconic BMW 1992-1999 E36 3 Series chassis. This year, our finished car will be unveiled at the OPTIMA Batteries booth (#20323, Central Hall) Tuesday November 5th at 9:30AM PST (12:30PM EST).

As a valued supporter, we would like to invite you to join us as we release the wildest BMW E36 ever built! While not everyone can be at SEMA, we will be going live with interviews and sneak-peeks starting Sunday November 3rd which we hope you'll tune in for. We'll share more about the time and specifics on our Facebook Page, so check back during the week. And finally, a sincere "thank you" for your support through the years. We couldn't have built this monster machine without customers and passionate BMW enthusiasts like you.
