BMW 328 Touring Coupé wins the 2010 Mille Miglia
70 years after its victory in the 1940 Mille Miglia, the BMW 328 Mille Miglia Touring Coupé has once again won the tradition-steeped Italian event.
Driven by the Giuliano Cané and Lucia Galliani, the Coupé clocked 1,000 miles through Italy without a single technical hitch. Third place also went to BMW, just like 70 years ago. This time to a series-production BMW 328, driven by Enzo Ciravolo and Maria Leitner.
“Victory by Giuliano Cané and Lucia Galliani along with third place achieved by Enzo Ciravolo and Maria Leitner are a marvellous example of teamwork,” commented Karl Baumer, Director of BMW Classic. “Both the blind understanding between the crews inside the cars and the cooperation with the mechanics along the way worked out perfectly. And for that I would like to say thank you to all those involved,” Baumer added.
The journey to the Italian race venue itself proved just how well the cars of 1940 have kept up their prowess. They made their way from Munich to Brescia not on the back of race transporters but under their steam, just as they had done 70 years ago.
