[1] BMW, evolving the previous 269, provided its drivers with a very competitive car, which despite not succeeding in ousting the dominance of the Cosworth-powered single-seaters, achieved two victories and high-level results in the 1970 Formula 2 European Championship, before retiring.

Flanked by the previous BMW 269, on its debut at Thruxton the car, driven by the well-known Jacky Ickx, immediately went to the points.

The latter also, in the double Austrian trip, will win both the untitled Grand Prix in Salzburg and the regular race in Tulln.

After a series of retirements, the car driven by Dieter Quester will also manage to win the Grand Prix of Baden-Württemberg - Hesse at Hockenheim, which race will also mark the last disputed by the BMW manufacturer in Formula 2.

However, the last race where the 270 ran was on November 29, when Dieter Quester won the 1970 Macau Grand Prix by also marking the fastest lap.
