2025 Concours Award Winners

Our 24th Annual Event

In the 24 years we have been running this event, I can't remember a year when a wider array of E30 M3's turned out. There were pristine, low mileage examples, restomods, and even real E30 M3 race cars. Every car was really amazing, and no two were alike. After several hours of meeting new people, enjoying great food and experiencing incredible E30 M3's- it was time to hand out the car show awards. This year's trophies were custom made all metal E30 M3 silhouette trophies conceived and created by James Liu. We presented the first one to BMW NA (Jay Hanson, Oleg Satanovsky, Tom Plucinsky) as a way of saying congratulations on 50 years, and Thank You for supporting SIGFest.

BMW NA'S Choice: Bob Isbitski

1991 Brilliantrot E30 M3. BMW NA'S CHOICE: BMW NA has graciously invited us to their campus to help celebrate their 50th Anniversary. To show our appreciation, we asked the judges to get feedback from BMW NA staff to have them select their favorite E30 M3.

SIG Hall oF Fame: BMW CCA Foundation / Mark Woolley

1988 Diamontschwartz and yellow M3.. The SIG Hall Of Fame Award is a new award for 2025. It is intended to recognize and honor a member of the BMW / E30 M3 community that has made significant contributions to fellow members. There are amazing cars, there are amazing owners, there are amazing mechanics and enthusiasts that border on being BMW Motorsport historians. Maybe the honoree has assisted others in the community in connecting with other enthusiasts, or in repairing and maintaining their cars. Perhaps they own a car that is a rolling homage to this era of BMW's history, or perhaps it's given to someone who may not even have their E30 ///M3 with them, or perhaps they do not even own one at all at this time, but has shown dedication to BMW the E30 M3, and the enthusiast community. The SIG Hall Of Fame Award goes to a member of this community who encourages others to enjoy owning and using their E30 M3.

Best Original E30 M3: Tom Marino

1988 Lachsilber E30 M3.. They say that the only thing that is constant is change. The Best Original Award goes to the E30 ///M3 that has refused to change and was left as BMW intended. There are not very many completely stock E30 M3's around, so our judges only had a few to choose from.

Best Modified: Jose E. Rodriguez

Warsteiner DTM Tribute E30 M3.. Forget original paint, low miles, and restorations for a moment- Best Modified goes to the E30 ///M3 that is its owner's canvas. Now that E30 M3's are considered collectible classics, few people are building, modifying and racing them. There are a few who do not care about the market or resale value, since they will never sell their car. We feel that Jose E. Rodriguez's Warsteiner tribute car is worthy of this award because of the time, dedication, and creativity that has obviously been put into this masterpiece.

Road Warrior: Elihu Savad

1988 Alpineweiss E30 M3.. Road Warrior: E30 ///M3's are meant to be used and enjoyed. The Road Warrior Award goes to the E30 ///M3 that has been there and done that. We're proud to present The Road Warrior Award to Elihu Savad and his Alpineweiss 1988 E30 M3.

SIGMeister's Choice: Ray Khubal

1988 Supercharged E30 M3. Sometimes you love something, but you can't quite figure out why. We don't need no stinkin' reason to give this trophy. This is for the SIGMeister's to debate, and award... We are proud to award the SIGMeister's Choice Award to Ray Khubal and his wild supercharged amethyst 1988 E30 M3.

Best of Show: Jimmy Petinato

Prodrive BTCC E30 M3 Touring Car. All E30 ///M3's are amazing, but Best Of Show goes to the car that the judges unanimously agree stands out and is a cut above the rest. We are pleased to award Best Of Show to Jimmy Petinato and his Prodrive BTCC E30 M3 Touring Car.
