Highlights: 2015 Legends of the Autobahn at Pebble Beach - Motor Trend
Legends of the Autobahn separated from Porsche last year, and now it’s a celebration of German cars with their engines in the front. The show itself is a bit disorganized, with three different clubs (the BMW Car Club of America, Mercedes-Benz Club of America, and Audi Club North America) each making their own classes and judging rules. The BMW E9 Imagine a field literally lined with E9-chassis BMWs. This particular car caught our eye not just because of the beautiful color and paint. Not because of the old BMW Motorsport roundel. The W110 Kombi Close your eyes and picture the slowest blue finned wagon in the world. We have to apologize for the crappy photos — we simply couldn’t get close to this wagon all day, thanks to the crowds it drew. Gorgeous wheels, a gorgeous body, a gorgeous interior, and those blue-and-chrome hub caps, this old diesel was a crowd favorite for sure. The Gullwing Do not adjust the color temperature of your display. It’s one of only two R198 Gullwings reportedly made in this Silver Violet color, and the eye-searing blue interior complements it perfectly. When asked if the owner has had the 300SL for a long time, he smiled and said “no. ” It’s only been decades. The E30 Touring This 325i is shown in its original Lazurblau (Azure Blue) metallic paint, and appears mostly stock until you notice the full Spec E30 suspension. And though it won third place in the BMW Concours class, its license plate says it’s dirty. Source: wot.motortrend.com
