40th Annual Deutsche Marque Concours d'Elegance

This year will represent the 40th time that we have gathered members of the National Capital Chapter of the BMW Car Club of America (BMW CCA), the Greater Washington Section of the Mercedes-Benz Club of America (MBCA) and the Porsche Club of America Potomac Region (PCA) for this terrific show. 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 2021 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 2017 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 – All Thru 501/2/3/7, 3200, Isetta/600, 700, NK Sedans, 2000C/CS, E3, E9, E12, E21 2002s Second Generation (1980s) – E23 7 Series, E24 6 Series, E28 5 Series, E30 3 Series, and M1 Third Generation (1990s) – E31 8 Series, E32 7 Series, E34 5 Series, E36 3 series, E38 7 Series and Z1/Z3 Fourth Generation (2000s) – E39 5 Series, E46 3 Series, E60 5 Series, E63 6 Series, Z4/Z8 Fifth Generation (2010s) – E65 7 Series, E9x 3 Series, E53/70/71 X5/6, E87 1 Series, F30 and X1 and newer
