Thank you to all who participated and made the day a success!
 

Event Overview 

The Concours and BMW Heritage Celebration is an annual event to celebrate the cars of our members and the BMW marque. We are fortunate to have a high proportion of well maintained older cars in our club, many of them are excellent condition daily drivers.

The purpose of our 'Concours' or gathering is to recognize and appreciate the various BMW vehicles in our club. We have cars from over 60 years of BMW history.
Participants are encouraged to bring their cars and show them at this event by entering them in one of the two categories for this event. Display is for the showing and appreciation of all the cars in the club. We recognize the beauty and value of these cars, and are encouraging all members to display their cars on the grass for others to view.
For those that have a competitive nature, we have the Judged categories. Here we have a variety of classes based on the age and type of car, and of course also based on how clean and detailed the owner has kept their car.
In addition to viewing all the cars, this is a great event to meet fellow BMW owners and socialize, it is a event suitable for the entire family. We'll have a Bavarian Hot dog vendor on site available at a reasonable price, or you can bring your own picnic lunch, or head over to Lonsdale Quay for something exotic.
Plan to attend now.
