I was just looking at the live timing and BMW is running at least 1 second slower than the rest of the GTLM field on their FASTEST laps. BMW is at a 1:44.6 and a 1:44.3 for their fast laps. Those are the types of times being run under race pace for the rest of the GTLM field. The other GTLM cars are running 1:43's for their fastest laps, with one of the Fords at a 1:42.8.

It just makes your shake your head. BoP may not be fair, but that's not a legitimate excuse. The car just doesn't have the pace. It's even more frustrating when you see the other manufacturers come out with new cars that are winning and mixing it up at the front end of the field. I get that it is a "new car" but you didn't see this with the new Porsche or the Ford GT. Those new cars have been winning....
The new car thing is a lame excuse.....
