The 2009 Formula BMW Europe season was the second season of Formula BMW Europe championship. The championship was contested over sixteen races at eight meetings: seven of which supported Formula One Grands Prix and a meeting at the Masters of Formula 3 event at Zandvoort. Felipe Nasr won the title at Monza, having finished fourteen of the sixteen races in the top two and won the title by 104 points. Two months after the season's finish, all results were confirmed after Mücke Motorsport's appeal over a breach of technical regulations was rejected by the FIA.

Rookie Cup
Mücke Motorsport were given a four-race ban due to a force-deflection test that revealed that each oil pressure relief valve spring was of a different characteristic than the standard spring installed in the engine. They raced at Valencia and Spa under appeal, an appeal they would later lose.
