Note: Lots of pics...56K Beware....

The Iowa CCA had it's annual clean car concours this morning and I decided to go and enter my E90 330i. All the proceeds went to a local animal shelter so it was for a good cause.

Although mine was the only E90 in the competition, I walked away with the People Choice award for the best car in attendance.

We had perfect weather (sunny, low-70's) and about 50 cars showed up all together between the cars that entered and other members stopping by to watch. There was a nice cross-section of BMW represented, including M3's, 5's, and an M6, several makes of 5 series, a 740, a nice mini-Cooper and 2 unexpected surprises.

For those that haven't been to one, older cars have the advantage in these contests because about 15% of the points are gained for age and total mileage. The thought being that a newer car "should" in great shape in and out and the owner should be awarded for keeping an older car in excellent condition.

So in all it was a fun day. I got to see some very nice cars, meet some new friends and I was able to do us E90 owners proud against some stiff competition. Enjoy the pics....
