Schnitzer Motorsport is a motorsport team based in Freilassing near Munich, #Germany.
From the early days of its establishment, the team has operated an automobile racing squad for BMW,
and has remarkable results in touring car and sports car racing scenes. The team often runs the cars for
#BMW under the name of «BMW #Motorsport». The team was founded in 1967 by the brothers Josef (August 7, 1939–August 31, 1978) and Herbert Schnitzer (b. June 5, 1941). Their stepfather Karl Lamm had a car repair shop and dealer business. The brothers started racing in 1962, and
Josef #Schnitzer won the 1966 German #Championship in a BMW 2000ti. In 1968, both retired from active race driving to focus
on the business and the race team.
In the 1970s, the Schnitzer’s younger half-brothers Karl («Charly») and Dieter Lamm joined the team, with
Charly Lamm acting as team manager at the race tracks. In 1978, Josef Schnitzer died in an accident, and Herbert Schnitzer
remained as the boss.
Apart from having the BMW dealership and Motorsport team based in Southern Germany’s Bavaria, they also own a
BMW tuning specialist concern in the far north near the border of Belgium and the Netherlands, in Aachen.
As this city has the license plate code AC, they called this branch AC Schnitzer.
