2012 BMW M3 DTM

“The DTM cars have been using our Aral Ultimate high-performance fuel since 2005,” added Jürgen Blömers, Marketing Director Rhine at Aral. “It will obviously be very exciting to see how the BMW M3 DTM performs in its first season. Whatever happens we are convinced that the return of BMW to the DTM will make the series even more exciting and attractive for the fans. It is a logical step for Aral to be involved as a partner of BMW Motorsport.”


Castrol EDGE is Castrol’s strongest and most advanced range of engine oils yet, with a strength to perform no matter how, when or where the car is driven. In its work with leading motorsport manufacturer BMW, Castrol EDGE provides leading technological insight and innovation to improve on track performances. The reliability and prime quality of Castrol EDGE is not only tested and proved in the lab, but also in practice with BMW on the most extreme racetracks in the world.

With 2,400 stations, Aral is Germany’s largest network of filling stations. The logo – the characteristic blue Aral “diamond” – has had such a permanent place in Germany's brand environment that 90 per cent of all citizens recognise it at first sight. Aral has belonged to the international BP Group since 2002. As such, the company benefits from an international presence and guaranteed supply, as well as the know-how of the world’s second largest oil company, which employs about 96,000 employees in over 100 countries.

Aral will continue to improve tried-and-tested fuels and to consistently expand its research into premium fuel generations, such as Aral Ultimate. Only this way is it possible to continuously achieve greater performance while at the same time improving environmental friendliness, and therefore to continue working on the practical implementation of sustainability concepts.
