Join us for the 29th Annual Concours d’Elegance and Heritage Picnic at Cedar River Park in Renton. This year we are pleased to be included as part of the 24th Annual Renton River Days community celebration coordinated by the City of Renton. Our big show will be part of the many activities for the public to enjoy. Nearby will be music, arts and crafts booths, food vendors, an art exhibit, and other activities for the whole family. Mark your calendar for Sunday, July 26.
This is a special day for club members to come together and enjoy each other’s company as well as display their BMWs at their very best. There will be two classes you can choose from for your BMW. A Judged class, with our famous etched glass trophies awarded to the winners. There is also a non-competitive Display class, where you can roll your BMW out without being judged.
Judged Class
Not sure if you are up for having your BMW judged? We judge only on cleanliness, and not on originality. The judging forms can be reviewed on the club’s web site. You must be a member of the BMW CCA, BMW ACA or Canadian BMWCCBC to participate in the judged classes.
Cars are judged in three major areas: Exterior, Interior (including trunk) and Engine Bay. The underside of the car is not judged. Each class is judged by a three-member team whose independent results are then totaled to determine a score. This process is designed to be as fair and objective as possible. For class competition there are bonus points for mileage, which evens out the competition for high versus low mileage cars. Best in Show is determined by taking the top BMW from each class, and lining them up for a final review by a 3-judge team. Previous scores are not considered as the judges choose the cleanest, most dazzling BMW on the lawn.

Display Class
The Display Class is a terrific way to take part in the event for those who don’t wish to compete but want to come and show off their car. Just wash it, clean the wheels and you’ll be good to go! You’ll be parked with the judged cars in your class.
All participants will receive a Griot’s Garage sample kit, commemorative 11x17 poster, cool refrigerator magnet and chance to win raffle prizes during the day.

Children’s Activities
We will have a special tent with activities for kids. Renton River Days will have many other activities for kids nearby.
Featured Car: E46 3 series
The featured car this year is all styles of the BMW E46 3 series (1999-2005). There will be a special class for these 3 series and they will have their own trophies for those entering the judged class. We hope you consider bringing your E46 3 series out, in whatever condition it is in. The more the merrier! Dozens of these fabulous cars are anticipated this year.
Volunteers Needed!
This event requires many volunteers to spend part of the day helping make the event a success. We need people to judge cars, help with check in, coordinate parking the cars, helping in the children’s tent, etc. If you would like to help, please contact event chair Michelle Miller at 253-334-9948 or wearethemillers@clearwire.net.

This sounds fun! If I'm available this day, I'd be interested in helping out. I'll contact Michelle. =)

 

I've gone to this event for the past 8 years. It's a great marque and anyone who goes is in for a treat. I was a judge 3 times in the past too. The funny thing is that I still went for a couple years even long after I got rid of my BMW.

 

Just a couple weeks away. Hope to see you there!

 

I'll be there displaying my E30.

 

I'll be one of the judges there. =)

 

That is a tough job. I am only doing display, not judged. Too lazy to clean my car for judged class. But maybe you can tell me what I could have gotten if I had done Judged.

 

^^#1 of course! wink*

 

I haven't signed up because I don't know if my M3 is worthy.

 

It's always a great event... lots of cool BMW's

 

I wasnt going to go this year, but if Busta and Jody are there...

 

Jody's a judge this year!?!?

You'll have fun! I did it 3 times before and it's a tough job. Be sure to bring some rubber gloves so you can check the hidden areas that never see light of the day. Those count, you know!

I won 1st in class and people's choice with my old M5 back in 2004. I spent FIVE days cleaning my car. Well, not in a row but maybe 2-3 hours per day up until the last day. It was worth it!

 

Any M3 is worthy ;-)

I plan to be there in the Display Class.

 

I'll be there but I wont be showing. The Zundfolge thing was enough for me
