BMW places 16th at Le Mans

["Steve Makohin" <wateredg@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello all,

After a lengthy absence from multi-brand racing, BMW place 16th over all at 
Le Mans. They did it in an R1100S. The 776 lap, 2011 mile, 24 hour endurance 
race is famous for shaking "lesser" riders and machines with mechanical 
failures and "Did Not Finish"es (DNF).

I did no research to determine how many entrants there were in the race. For 
example, if BMW placed 16th in a field of 50, that's impressive for their 
first entry. If they placed 16th out of 18... not so impressive.
