On June 29, 2019, International BMW in West Allis, WI hosted the 16th Annual Badger Bimmers BMW Car Show. The weather was fantastic and over 50 BMWs attended. 33 BMWs entered the hotly contested trophy competition.
Cars were entered in five classes organized by vehicle vintage, along with a separate “People’s Choice” award for favorite car overall. Class winners were selected by participant and spectator ballot, so cars were awarded prizes based on their appeal and not based on how clean or original they are. I didn’t see anyone with Q-Tips although I think there were a few cars on display that were well-acquainted with that kind of treatment. But that was balanced out by my car which had it’s annual washing back at the May car cleanup event.
Special thanks to International BMW for sponsoring a large supply of tasty goodies for all participants along with also sponsoring the elegant trophies and providing the show venue.
The awards presented were as follows:
People’s Choice: Todd Ciske, 1972 2002
BMWs of the 1970’s and Earlier: Todd Ciske, 1972 2002
BMWs of the 1980’s: Adam Bensaid, 1988 325es
