============
BMW has built an all-new car for its expected assault on this year's Le Mans 24 Hours.
The news comes ahead of an announcement today at which BMW is expected to unveil the new car and finally confirm its
participation at Le Mans.
The car is expected to be virtually all-new following the less than successful V12 LM. The only major component carried
over from the previous car is the six-litre 12-cylinder engine, formerly used in the McLaren F1 GTR sportscar.
It is unclear if the Munich marque will reveal its driver line-up for Le Mans but BMW favourites Steve Soper, Hans Stuck and
Joachim Winkelhock look likely to remain on the squad.
