BMW Group Mobile Tradition at Mille Miglia 2005: Results
Boni/Barziza best BMW team and winner of the Ladies' Trophy for the tenth time

Brescia/Munich. The BMW Group had three reasons to celebrate at the Mille Miglia 2005. The Boni/Barziza team won the Ladies' Trophy for the tenth time, with 8,427 points. The Isetta and the BMW 507 also celebrated their 50th birthdays at the world's most important vintage vehicle event.

 

As last year, and for the tenth time, the Ladies' Trophy went to Franca Boni and Monica Barziza, this time driving a BMW 328 Berlin-Rom. The team came 17th in the overall placings. This outstanding achievement also made them the best BMW team at the Mille Miglia 2005. Overall victory went to the Viaro/De Marco team.

 

Of the total of 22 BMW teams, three Isettas also started for the first time. The BMW privateer team Mercandanti/Mercandanti-Bastoni have conquered the hearts of the spectactors for some years now with their "bubble car". To mark the Isetta's 50th birthday, BMW Group Mobile Tradition also sent two factory Isettas to the race. The fact that this 12 HP vehicle in no way needs to hide behind its larger-volume competitors is reflected in the placings: 65th(Mercandanti/Mercandanti-Bastoni) and 106th place (Ferrari/Ferrari). The team made up of Jörg Reichle and Holger Lapp also aroused considerable enthusiasm: although their BMW Isetta 250 suffered engine damage, they still managed to cross the finishing line successfully.
