What watch to get that appeals to racing and suits BMW?
I am looking for a new watch and was thinking about getting that would suit racing, driving and cars.
What would you recommend?

Just my opinion, but if someone was going to spend 10K I would probably only consider two watches - if u can do w/o or minimum markup a new Rolex SS gmt Pepsi or at discount IWC big pilot petite prince, 46+ millimeters.
Stainless steel 10k watch ? At 5k omega speedmaster had always been a great watch. But the Apple iWatch, beside needing charging, i think has upended the market except if u travel and can’t charge. |

Entry level IWC can be had near that and are much better watches IMO.

If you want to discuss solely design of the IWC, then that is another conversation.

My vote is for the Speedy Pro. Looks great with a leather band as well.

Early Speedy's are perfect with these cars. I think this works pretty well also:
