The trend continues as they have just announced that they’re pulling out their factory-backed team from the World Touring Car Championship next season. http://www.zerotohundred.com/?attachment_id=16617 A change in leadership at BMW Motorsports, that sees director Mario Theissen leaving to be replaced by Jens Marquardt, no doubt played a part in the decision to quit the WTCC.

The move to compete in the DTM series against Audi and Mercedes-Benz looks to have replaced their commitment to the single WTCC team as well. http://www.zerotohundred.com/?attachment_id=16618 Nonetheless, independent teams can still acquire the WTCC-specced 320TC from BMW.
