Joey Hand put BMW at the top of the timesheets for the third consecutive day of DTM testing at Hockenheim on Thursday.
The American - who has switched to the RBM team from RMG - set his 1m33.284s laptime on a dry track following the morning's showers which saw drivers lap some 15 seconds slower than the afternoon runs.
The Phoenix and Abt Audis of Edoardo Mortara and Ingolstadt newcomer Jamie Green finished in second and third with a 1m34.389 and 1m34.829 respectively.
Reigning DTM champion Bruno Spengler ended his day fourth behind the wheel of his Schnitzer BMW M3 with a 1m35.473s ahead of compatriot Robert Wickens who finished the quickest of the Mercedes drivers with a 1m35.634s in fifth with his HWA-run car.
The top-10 was rounded out by DTM rookies Patrick Tambay and Pascal Werhlein in sixth and seventh for Abt Audi and RSC Mucke Mercedes, with MTEK BMW's Timo Glock in eighth who once again set the pace once again for the Bavarian manufacturer during the morning's wet running.
Wickens' teammate, Christian Vietoris finished the day in ninth for HWA Mercedes, with Miguel Molina's Phoenix Audi and Andy Priaulx's RMG BMW propping up the time sheets in 10th and 11th.
DTM testing resumes Friday.
