Well, there is plenty of smoke about this rumor, that's for sure.
The article mentions 2018 which I think is a more believable timeframe than 2017 given how BMW would need to build the required infrastructure first.
One thing is for certain: The mentioned G56 project can only be a stepping stone as the ACO has made it pretty clear that they will only allow manufacturers to do that if it's a step towards LMP1. Just G56 won't fly...
And about the conflict of may having to race their partner Toyota, well, let's see if that will still be an issue in 2018...
