BMW and Michael Schumacher have dismissed wild rumours that they could collaborate on an astounding $100m per-year deal to run from 2007.

British reports sensationally claimed that the coup could ultimately see a ten-figure sum enter the current Ferrari driver's bank account, but Schumacher was quoted on Thursday as scoffing at the gossip.

''I know nothing about it,'' Schumacher said, according to sid, while the German reaffirmed his commitment to announce his future plans at Monza.

The German said of the BMW tale: ''It's just a rumour.''

BMW motor sport director Dr Mario Theissen, meanwhile, said the report has 'no basis'.
