Hi Sanjay,
Just to clarify a few points here - this is how the Intermarque Concours works.... it is run "by the Clubs for the Clubs" & the honour of winning means that the following year your club is the organiser of the Concours & you also get to display as many cars as you wish in front of the main Grand Stand, hence the huge Porsche display as they were the winners last year.
If you bother to come along next year, you will find an equally large display of Ford Mustangs, as they were the winners this year.
As far as our display went, I don't think you would find a display of every model M3 Race car & road car in very many shows anywhere in the world (& believe me, I've been to a lot of them).
The Club is also restricted to the number of cars we have on display & also the area we have to display them. There is a lot of time & effort by the BMW Car Club committee that goes into preparing for this show. If you had seen the unloading & loading of the race cars, perhaps you would understand the time & effort the owners of these cars put aside to support the BMW Car Club New Zealand, not to mention the "blood sweat & tears " that goes into the preparation before the event.
As far as the "judged cars" go, those 2 cars are absolutely superb. Show me where else you will find a Z8, let alone a Z8 Alpina. If that doesn't please real BMW enthusiasts, I don't know what will. And alongside that you have one of the finest E30 M3s, probably in the Southern Hemisphere.
Maybe next year, depending on the theme we are given by the organisers, we could have a display of 8 series cars?
