BMW 269

Automobiles

The BMW 269, also known as the BMW F269, is an open-wheel Formula 2 race car designed by Len Terry, with its chassis built by the aircraft company Dornier for BMW to take part in the 1969 and 1970 Formula 2 European Championships. It also took part in the 1969 Formula One World Championship, because Formula 2 cars were admitted to the 1969 German Grand Prix on the very long Nürburgring, an exemption that dated from the 1950s. BMW needed an additional single-seater to confirm its growth in Formula 2 and built, always with Lola's support, an evolution of the Lola T102 it already used; the car was designed in 1969 by Len Terry, partly built by Lola and assembled by BMW. Its engine was a BMW M12, a 1,598 cc four-cylinder in-line unit with an output of about 250 hp (190 kW) at 10,700 rpm.
