It's a shame that BMW isn't more involved in motorsports like LeMans, it seems they are happy with just a presence in DTM and reliance on privateers.

Automatic Racing had entered a BMW M6 into the 2008 Rolex Sports Car Series season, driven by an all American team consisting of Jep Thorton, Tom Long, Joe Varde and David Russell. Turner Motorsport entered a BMW M6 for the 2010 season, followed by two BMW M3s from 2011-2013. They have racked up six Rolex GT wins and 24 top ten finishes in the GT class, including rare double class wins for the GT M3 and GS M3 at the Circuit of the Americas round in 2013.

I'd rather see BMW at Sebring, Lime Rock, Watkins Glen or Road Atlanta like WeatherTech SportsCar Championship, SCCA World Challenge in the US or Blancpain Endurance Series, British GT Championship in Europe.

But if Toyota can run in NASCAR . . . . just kidding!
