    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:
