33rd Annual Deutsche Marque Concours d’Elegance

May 01, 2016
You must be a current BMW CCA member to register. One of the highlights of our event schedule, and an annual rite of spring for German car fans, is the Deutsche Marque Concours d’Elegance. This year marks the 33rd time that we have gathered with our friends from the Greater Washington Section of the Mercedes-Benz Club of America (MBCA) and the Potomac Region of the Porsche Club of America (PCA) for this terrific show. Once again, we have reserved Nottoway Park in Vienna, easily reached via Route 66. The park entrance will be marked with large car club banners so that you cannot miss it. • As in the past several years, a “corral” will be positioned along the entrance to the park to display special cars not being judged. Space will be limited. More vendors are anticipated. The judged entrants from the three marques will be interspersed, allowing visitors the opportunity to see more of the fabulous cars assembled. • In the Deutsche Marque Concours, vehicles are judged by their condition, appearance, and cleanliness. There will be three classes at this event - Street (judged), Meister class (judged - consisting of first-place category winners from the 2015 concours), and Display class (not judged - winner selected by people’s choice balloting). Judges scoring cars in the Street and Meister classes will only judge the tops of the cars, including the exterior, interior, engine bay, storage compartments and chrome, but not the chassis. Street class cars are generally divided into several groups based upon BMW CCA national concours rules. • Please note: Cars produced after 2011 will not be judged, but are welcome to be entered in the Display class, and eligible for the People's Choice and Judges' Choice awards. • Vehicles will be classified into the following categories: Classics, 2002s, Modern (1980s - E30 3 Series, E28 5 Series, E24 6 Series, E23 7 Series, M1 and Z1), Modern 1990s (E36 3 Series, E34 5 Series, E32 7 Series, E31 8 Series and Z3), Modern 2000s (E46 3 Series, E39 5 Series, E38 7 Series, 6, Z4 and Z8), Current (E87 1 Series, E90/91/92/93 3 Series, E60/61 F10 5 Series, E63/64 6 Series, E65/66 F01/02 7 Series, E83 F25 X3, E53/70/71 X5 and E71 X6). • The entry fee for the concours is $30 per car ($40 after April 24th or on-site). Registration includes one wine and cheese reception ticket & commemorative dash plaque for the first 40 registrants. Additional wine and cheese reception tickets are available at $15 each.
