The first serve has already been played at the BMW Open 2024.
However, this first action did not involve a ball: instead, Christian Ach, Head of BMW Germany, and tournament director Patrik Kühnen pulled back a large sheet on the Center Court at MTTC Iphitos.
They thereby revealed the 2023 Winner’s Car for the historic ATP Tour clay-court tournament: the all-electric BMW i5 M60 (Combined power consumption: 21.2–18.2 kWh/100 km.
Combined CO2 emissions: 0 g/km.
Electric range: 439–516 kilometers.
All data according to WLTP).
The vehicle, its electric motors, and the high-voltage batteries are all produced at the BMW Group Plant Dingolfing.
In the main singles draw, 28 top players have the opportunity to claim the BMW Open title along with 250 valuable world ranking points, 85,605 Euro in prize money, and one of the most sought-after BMW vehicles currently available.
