On Sunday, June 13, 2004, International Auto opened up their BMW, Mini, and service areas to our Chapter to utilize for our 2nd Annual Badger Bimmer Car Show. 

They not only opened up their show rooms to us…they supplied us with a wonderful breakfast buffet and many BMW raffle items for the afternoon.

There were a total of 23 vehicle entrants. This number was up significantly from last year! There were also several entries of members from the Windy City Chapter that came up for this event. Entrants arrived between the times of 10:00 and 12:15. During this time, owners were prepping, cleaning, and doing the last minute touches on their vehicles before the judging began. 

Our judges consisted of John Vasos, Don Eichelberger, and David Schnitzer. All of our judges worked very hard at making fair assessments of each vehicle, as well as, providing tips and suggestions for improvements for your vehicle for next year’s car show. 

The following is a list of categories of vehicles and the winner’s of each category.
