Car Mechanic Simulator 2021: BMW

The BMW DLC for Car Mechanic Simulator 2021 was developed by the Polish studio Red Dot Games and published by PlayWay S.A. It launched on November 21, 2023, as an addition to the base game, which originally released in August 2021 for Windows and was later made available on consoles.

This DLC introduces five officially licensed BMW vehicles: the 1974 BMW 2002 Turbo (E10T), the 1979 BMW M1 Procar (E26), the 1988 BMW 635 CSi (E24), the 2002 BMW M3 (E46), and the 2016 BMW M4 GTS Special Edition (F82). Alongside the cars, it adds matching engine options including R4 M31, R6 M88, R6 M30, R6 S54, and R6 S55 engines for players to repair, tune, and install within the simulation. The base game puts players in charge of a car repair workshop, where they diagnose faults, dismantle engines, refurbish or tune parts, paint and customize vehicles, road-test them, and eventually sell or display their completed builds.

Promotion of the BMW DLC was carried out through announcements on the game’s digital storefront and community updates. It was presented as a must-have for BMW fans, highlighting the inclusion of both classic and modern BMW models with enhanced mechanical detail. Marketing emphasized the appeal for players looking to expand their in-game garage with high-profile vehicles and the new mechanical challenges these cars bring.

Reception has been very positive, with users praising the licensed BMW models and the depth of the engine options. Players appreciated the ability to work on some of BMW’s most iconic cars, noting that the mechanical detail and authenticity were standout features. Some feedback mentioned that the DLC is modest in scope compared to larger expansions and that parts reuse could be improved, but overall it is regarded as a strong addition for enthusiasts of car mechanics and BMW alike.
