BMW Festival at the HMC

The largest gathering of BMWs in the world will descend on the Heritage Motor Centre on Sunday 14 August when it hosts the annual BMW Festival.

Up to 3,000 BMWs are expected to take part in this year’s exciting and popular Festival. Highlights will include the opportunity to win a trip around the Aston Martin test track with ex-triple World Touring Car Champion Andy Priaulx. Andy will also be on hand to talk to visitors and present Show & Shine awards. A massive display of the iconic E30 M3 will gather to celebrate the model’s 25th anniversary this year plus all the usual BMW range from the past and present, including a celebration of the ’02 40th anniversary.

An extensive range of traders including BMW UK, Munich Legends, AC Schnitzer and Meguiar’s will also be attending plus visitors can enjoy the Show & Shine Car competition, Regional and Register Displays, Club Tombola, ‘Cars for Sale’ and Autojumble. A party will take place the night before with live music and a hog roast. There’s even the opportunity to camp overnight.
