Munich - This year's Mille Miglia concluded successfully for the BMW Team. Both Franca Boni and Monica Barziza (who drove a BMW 328) won the lady's trophy. Thousands of spectators watched the Mille Miglia's participants engage in speed as they raced their way from Brescia to Rome and back. Among them was King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden and his co-pilot Prince Leopold of Bavaria, who drove the BMW 328 MM Touring Roadster. Enthusiastic fans of this classic event-now in its 76th year-waited for their favorite drivers in historical cities such as San Marino, Siena, Rome and Florence. An original BMW 327 piloted by Italian rockstar Gianna Nannini attended this year`s Mille Miglia as a BMW team member with Rosella Labate on board.

Holger Lapp, the Head of Mobile Tradition, and Marco Saltalamaccia, President of BMW Italia, were one of the 21 BMW teams among the 372 international teams. They drove a very valuable classic car-the actual BMW 328 Mille Miglia Touring Coupe that won the Mille Migilia in 1940.
