Reigning champion Yvan Muller posted the fastest time, with teammates Rob Huff, Caca Bueno and Alain Menu finishing the session within four tenths of the Frenchman's time.
Gabriele Tarquini was the best of the rest in his SUNRED SEAT, more than eight tenths off Menu. Franz Engstler was the fastest Independent as well as the top BMW driver in sixth, ahead of ROAL BMW driver Tom Coronel and Engstler's teammate at his own team, Kristian Poulsen.
Tiago Monteiro was ninth, with fellow SUNRED driver Fredy Barth rounding out the top ten.
Marchy Lee's KK Motorsport BMW stopped out on track after just one lap because of a problem with the throttle pedal.
