BMWCCA-Boston, 2013 Concours d'Elegance Event - August 11, 2013
I am the co-chair of this event and I would like to invite all BMWCCA
Members to attend the 2013 Concours d'Elegance Event sponsored by Wagner BMW of Shrewsbury. This year the event will be held on Sunday August 11, 2013 at the Larz Anderson Auto Museum (http://larzanderson.org/). That means you have all day on Saturday to get your BMW ready!!! (Please note the Larz Anderson Museum lists this event as BMW Day.) Last year despite the early morning rain which ended there by 9am we had 69 BMWs and one Mini participate. This is a judged event so entry of your car will need to be chosen by you as to which entry class you wish to participate in. The entry classes are noted on the BMW CCA Boston Chapter web page as is the scoring sheet we will use to evaluate your car. If you have any questions about choosing which class to enter your car, please let me know and I will assist you. Also, note that we will have a "Display" Class which will be judged by the attendees and will not include any formal judging. First timers, don't be afraid to enter a judged class, I will help you understand what to do. Here are the event details: BMW CCA Boston Chapter Concours d' Elegance -sponsored by Wagner BMW of Shrewsbury Sunday, Aug 11, 2013 9:00am - 2:00pm Event Registration Registration opens Saturday, Jun 15 Location: Larz Anderson Auto Museum 15 Newton St. Brookline, MA 02445 More information is available here: http://www.boston-bmwcca.org/events/...px?EventID=670 Please pre-register for our event to help us get the cars parked faster and let me know if you have any questions. I look forward to seeing you all at the event. MJM By the way, I will need some volunteers for the day to assist with parking the cars and running scoring sheets to the registration area. Please PM me if you are interested.

I know many of you are awaiting a weather forecast to make your decision to attend. The AccuWeather.com long-range weekend weather forecast is now available and looks great. Saturday will be perfect for getting your BMW ready and Sunday looks like a great day for our event (confortable summer temperatures).
Please help us by pre-registering here: http://www.boston-bmwcca.org/events/...px?EventID=670 and let me know if you have any questions. I hope to see you all there.

The Judging/Presentation Levels are as follows: Display: Non judged display of vehicle, shown as is. Clean (CL): Interior, Exterior and Trunk. Super Clean (SC): Interior, Exterior, Trunk, and Engine Compartment. Concours: Authenticity is considered as primary criteria. Vehicles are prepared with attention to quality and originality to detail as expected in formal Concours d’Elegance. (very limited entries qualify, we will review upon arrival). Judged entries are grouped and compete in these groups: VINTAGE 1st & 2nd Gen Model Years 1960-1970-1980’s MODERN 3rd & 4th Gen LATE 5th Gen, Current Production, and MINIs Concours Bonus points are awarded as follows: 1. One point for every 10,000 odometer miles; up to a maximum of ten points. 2. One point for every ten years of the car’s age (model year is base rounded down); up to a maximum of 5 points. Here is a link to the actual documents for your review: http://www.boston-bmwcca.org/_upload...ifications.pdf http://www.boston-bmwcca.org/_upload...dgingSheet.pdf Your M3 is very clean and you should therefore consider entering into at least the "Clean" class.

Hope to see you all at Larz tomorrow.
I did try to pre-register but it only accepts paypal and I don't to paypal for assorted reasons that I don't care to go into on a public forum.

I would have considered concours even, since I cleaned all the fender wells, suspension components, polished the brake rotor hubs, etc, etc, but my car is modified and you stated that concours cars are also based on "authenticity". Most of the mods, however, are BMW M Performance parts. I don't know.....you can tell me when I get there !!

Great show. I drove down from NH and walked around for an hour. Nice 2002s, 2800 and 3.0 coupes including an alpina, and examples of all newer ones. ESS supercharged E92 M3 also there. I left my 08 E90 M3 on the street -- it is a driver not a show car.
