Anything is possible, but if that was John Hindhaugh who said it I would take it with a grain of salt. He can’t keep track of what is happening in front of him when he is announcing, much less what is going to happen in the future.

There was a statement from Jens Marquardt that made it seem they were planning to differentiate each level (GT4, GT3, GTE) with a different car. That said, they have run the same model in different classes before (I would much rather see the M4 run GTLM vice the M8) but I believe they will continue the M8 for another season or two and then replace with the rumored “halo” car.

All other GTLM cars have gone the mid engine route (even Porsche to an extent) so it makes more sense the next GTE/GTLM car from BMW will be mid engined, which the rumored “halo” M car is supposed to be.
