BMW is now turning its attention to the sporting arena, to be specific, her name is Katarina Witt (44), 2 time Olympic figure skating champion. She has been appointed as the BMW Group ambassador in the bid to host the 2018 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games in Munich and Garmisch-Partenkirchen.

“The BMW Group espouses the Olympic ideal of fair play in sporting contests. As the world’s most sustainable car manufacturer, we support the idea of a sustainable Olympic Games – both as Automotive Partner of the 2012 Games in London and as a National Sponsor of the 2018 Munich bid. We are delighted to have Katarina Witt’s backing as an ambassador in our bid to bring the 2018 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games to Munich.” Said Ian Robertson, Member of the Board of Management of BMW AG, Sales and Marketing.

She looks more like 30 and not 44. Just simply amazing.

P.s: Nice X6
