Legends Of The Autobahn® is an all-German marque Concours d’Elegance held in Pacific Grove, California, and Hilton Head Island, South Carolina. Legends is hosted by the BMW Car Club of America, the Mercedes-Benz Club of America, and the Audi Club of North America. The annual concours events offer both corral and judged areas, awards for all three featured marques, and an open class for all other German-made cars. The show field also features displays from manufacturers, sponsors, and vendors. Each year, the concours draws hundreds of cars and thousands of spectators that fill the show field. Spectators are regularly greeted by rare and historically significant models, as well as factory-prepared specials. The Legends Of The Autobahn® concours has become a national sensation among German car enthusiasts with widespread coverage in the automotive media. In 2011 the event gained international recognition with the North American debut of the BMW 328 Hommage concept car. In 2012 we saw the debut of BMW’s Zagato Z4 Roadster concept, and in 2014 we saw the unveiling of the highly-anticipated M4 GTS concept car.

So, who is going? I am getting the 1800 ready. Not sure why I decided to make so many changes in the last three weeks. Possibly because we do not have winter. 

 

[FunElan]

Unfortunately the switch to Thursday ruins my schedule ?

[HBChris]

Here are a couple maps to help with entry.  Judged cars should arrive starting at 7, Display cars no earlier than 8 please (!)  as we are trying to keep all Display e3/e9/2002s together in the Display fairway.

Thank you!

Final Judged field parking for BMW cars.  I will ask the earlier arrivals to help park cars near their class, we always need more volunteers.

Anyone in the Bay Area driving down Thursday morning? 
 

[steve k.]

Camping at the track, so a much shorter drive to the Legends. I am also not expecting as much traffic as Saturdays used to be. 

 

Who else is at the track next week?

Meeting for burritos at Roberts Lake in Seaside at 6:15 on the 18th, then caravanning over to Pacific Grove for the event.

 

The purple mark on the map is where the taco truck parks, see y’all next Thursday. ?✌️

 

[Teelinger]

3 of us from the PNW are driving down and will be there. I believe we're all displaying our cars.

 

We'll also be spectators at the track later in the week. 

 

Looking forward to meeting y'all.

Ah, wise! I’ll be driving from San Jose that morning if anyone would like to join. 
 

Would anyone happen to know, based on how parking in the Display section works, if it’s possible to leave early? I need to be back for work Thursday evening. And where does general admission (vs a display ticket) get you?

[saaron]

Can you guys post some pics, lol?  I will be in my basement all week doing meetings.  So while you are living the best vintage BMW life, just think of me…”hey that poor guy is in Ohio in his basement talking to people for eight hours a day…let my get a few pics for him…”

You can leave early and 2002s will be parked together but Display cars are asked to arrive at 8 so we can place all of the judged cars first at 7.  There is no Admission charge for spectators, assuming of course you registered your car with the CCA.
