I don't know. If you can get competitive performance out of a mobile brick like the Bentley GT3 I'm sure you could do something useful with an M8.
but never at Le Mans. Sure on a smaller circuit the drag penalty is low.

BMW has always had issues sending large frontal area sedans down the mulsanne....Even when they have all the BOP in their favor. It will never go down the straights like a Ford GT thats for sure.

Would atleast be amusing for them to race one of the X series cars. The X6 M GTE perhaps
