There is great sadness following the death of Herbert Schnitzer. The last of the four Schnitzer brothers, who owned the legendary BMW racing outfit, passed away peacefully at home in Freilassing on Friday - on his 85th birthday - surrounded by his family.
"Now all three are together, Dieter and Charly, gone from us far too soon," writes former racing driver Christian Menzel, who shared a photo of Herbert Schnitzer with his two half-brothers Charly and Dieter Lamm on Instagram. "To me, Schnitzer was BMW; they lived the brand's values and communicated them authentically to all fans. One of the most successful motorsport teams ever and an unreachable team spirit - role models."
