  BMW Sauber - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The BMW M12/13 Turbocharged I4 engine was famous during its life for being the first Formula 1 engine capable of 1000hp in racing trim, although it was capable of nearly 1400hp for qualifying with modification of its boost.
Sauber was well known for their efforts in sportscar racing during the 1970s and 1980s, especially in winning the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1989 and the season championship in 1989 and 1990 for Mercedes-Benz.
For the 2006 season the new BMW Sauber F1 Team has signed Nick Heidfeld from Williams to be their lead driver, while 1997 World Champion Jacques Villeneuve has had his contract with Sauber retained for the final year.

By 1934 BMW had begun to build its own cars but it was not until the late 1930s with the arrival of the BMW 328 that the firm established its sporting reputation.
BMW sat out the first year of the new F2 regulations but returned in 1973 supplying the March factory team, which was running Jean-Pierre Beltoise and Jean-Pierre Jarier, with customer engines for a variety of others including the Brambilla Brothers's Beta Racing Team and Brian Lewis Racing.
At the end of 1986 BMW announced that it was withdrawing from F1 and the rights to the engines were sold to Megatron and continued to be raced in 1987 and 1988.

 pitpass - the latest, hottest F1 & A1GP news
BMW first entered Formula One with Brabham in 1982 during the turbo era, and subsequently supplied engines to Arrows, ATS and Benetton, powering Nelson Piquet to the World Championship in 1983.
In the pitlane it was rumoured that BMW Motorsport director, Mario Theissen, was now attempting to sell the F1 dream to the board of directors, though pitlane cynics believe much of his motivation was due to the fact that the German wanted to be a 'team principal'.
When the statesmanlike Frank Williams publicly criticized BMW, it was obvious that the marriage was at an end, and while some speculated that the German might seek an alternative partner, others remained convinced that Theissen had successfully sold his employers on the dream, and possible glory, of establishing a successful F1 team.
