BMW Motorrad UK looks set to have a larger presence in the MCE Insurance British Superbike Championship paddock next year.

The UK arm of the German manufacturer has revealed in a statement:

"BMW Motorrad UK will be expanding its race programme in the UK and Ireland for 2015. This programme of racing activity will include a concentrated effort towards winning the British Superbike Championship while also providing a strong defence of the International road race victories of 2014.

"BMW Motorrad UK will also continue to support a number of teams and riders using our products through the International Customer Racing Programme, providing technical and product support to teams and riders who represent the BMW brand in the appropriate way.

"Due to contractual restraints we are unable to make a full team announcement at this time but full details of our plans for next season will be communicated in the very near future."

BMW achieved its strongest campaign to date in this year's MCE BSB title race, three-time champion Ryuichi Kiyonari claiming a debut race win for the manufacturer at Knockhill in June and then went on to challenge for the title all the way to the end. The BMW powered to a total of seven race wins and a further six podium finishes across the 26 races in 2014.
