Frequently Asked Questions:
What is a Concours? Also known as a Show and Shine, the Patroon Concours is a day that starts with a Car Show, continues with a Road Rally after lunch (yes, lunch), and ends with a Banquet Dinner.
How clean does my car need to be? There are multiple levels of cleanliness. Check out the sample judging sheets (coming soon). There is Clean (Exterior/Interior), Super Clean (Clean +trunk +engine bay), Concours (Super Clean +underbody). And if you just don’t want to clean, there’s the Dirty Dog. If ou’re shy, a Display Only category is available.
What is the Road Rally About? This year we are going to take two different rallies. The first is a typical BMW Saturday afternoon cruise to enjoy the beauty an Upstate New York summer has to offer. The second is a technical drive through some twisty backroads where paying attention to the road is more important than the scenery.

Rules Cars will compete in one of four cleanliness levels: Clean, Super Clean, Concours, or Dirty Dog. There are multiple model categories that are separated by “Classic” – approximately 1960’s and 70’s, “Second Generation” – 1980’s, “Third Generation” – 1990’s, “Fourth Generation” – 2000’s, and “Fifth Generation” – including E90, E92, E60, E63, E65, new Z4 and “Modified/Tuner” vehicles. Model categories may be combined within their cleanliness category depending on the number of entries. A “Best in Show” will be chosen for both Classic and Late model cars based on appearance, cleanliness, and rarity of model.
- Entrants must be a member of the BMW CCA or may join at a reduced rate on the day of the event.
- Entrants must own/lease the car entered. Entrants may enter multiple cars. Entry fees must be paid for each car.
- Entrants that fit multiple categories must choose the category they wish to compete in before judging begins.
- Modified/Tuner cars are cars with significant non-OEM add-ons and modifications that significantly affect the aesthetic value of the automobile. They are all judged “Super Clean”.
- Vehicle categories are subject to combination and/or separation in order to generate fair and meaningful competition. Accordingly, cars will be placed in competition groups based on:
- the number of registrants for similar year/model vehicles, i.e., all entries must compete against other entered vehicles (no winning by default)
- the age of the vehicle, and
- the vehicle model
- Cars will be judged on a 1-5 scale overall, based on similar scoring for interior, exterior (for “Clean” category), engine, trunk (added for “Super Clean” category), and undercarriage (added for “Concours”). Elements to be considered: cleanliness, original equipment, and overall appearance. Modified/Tuner vehicles will be judged on showmanship, complexity, and fit and finish.
- Separate awards: in addition to 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners for each model and cleanliness class, there will be a single:
- “Best of Show” awarded for Classic and Late models based on appearance, cleanliness, and rarity of model.
- “People’s Choice” award, determined by popular vote.
- “Dirty Dog” award, determined by the ravages of time, neglect, and general disarray.
*These rules may be subject to change. Participants will be notified of any changes as soon as possible.
