We are proud to have celebrated our 50th  victory in the WTCC. There have been many memorable moments, such as  Priaulx’s triumphs in Macau, or Alessandro Zanardi’s first win at  Oschersleben in 2005. With the BMW 320i and also the BMW 320si we  regularly featured at the sharp end during the past 124 races and were  able to post victories even under very difficult circumstances. I hope  we can improve our position during the course of this year so as to be  fighting for the championship at the finale in Macau. My thanks to all  the drivers, teams, and team members of BMW Motorsport who made these 50  victories possible.”A  total of eight drivers obtained victories for BMW in the WTCC since  2005: Andy Priaulx (17), Augusto Farfus (11), Jörg Müller (10), Dirk  Müller (4), Alessandro Zanardi (4), Félix Porteiro (2), Duncan Huisman  (1) and Sergio Hernández (1).</p></blockquote><p></p>
