This team is going to win the driver's championship this season. Manufacturer's for sure.

The #56 BMW M3 placed 1st and the #55 M3 placed 2nd. #56 was driven by Dirk Müller (DE), Joey Hand (US) and Andy Priaulx (GB), while #55 was piloted by Dirk Werner (DE), Bill Auberlen (US) and Augusto Farfus (BR). The two M3 GT cars dominated for most of the race, alternating from the 1st to the 3rd positions for the majority of the 12 hour race. Their teammate from last year, Tommy Milner, finished in 3rd at the seat of a Corvette C6.
Congrats to the BMW RLL team and all their drivers! The team looks well prepared to defend its Manufacter's Championship and will hopefully contend for the driver's championship as well. 
Official release and announcement from BMW to come...
