2025 Legends of the Autobahn - Thank You!
The 2025 Legends of the Autobahn once again proved why it has become a highlight of Monterey Car Week. Under the California sun, enthusiasts gathered to celebrate the cars, the culture, and the camaraderie that make BMW ownership so special.
From the moment the first cars rolled onto the green, Legends lived up to its name. The show field was a tapestry of iconic BMW models, from immaculately restored classics to rare performance editions and modern marvels. Attendees wandered rows of gleaming machines, shared stories with fellow enthusiasts, and met owners whose dedication and passion keep the BMW legacy thriving.
The spirit of Legends is about bringing our community together. Families, long-time members, and first-time visitors alike brought good vibes to the greens.
Of course, no Legends would be complete without recognizing the outstanding cars that stood out among an already remarkable field. A heartfelt congratulations goes to this year’s award winners:
On behalf of the BMW Car Club of America, we extend our gratitude to every participant, volunteer, sponsor, and enthusiast who made 2025 Legends of the Autobahn a success. Your dedication, energy, and passion are what make this event so memorable year after year.
As the final cars departed and the field grew quiet, one thing was clear: the BMW spirit is alive and well, and it only grows stronger when we gather together.
Stay tuned. Planning for the 2026 Legends of the Autobahn is already underway. Keep your ear to the ground for announcements in the coming months. We can’t wait to see you back on the field.
