West Palm Beach, United States, 7th April 2025: As summer approaches, more and more car enthusiasts are coming out of hibernation (especially for those living where winter is cold and wet). The car events calendar is getting fuller and fuller, and there is a car show somewhere around the globe nearly every weekend. In Florida, several thousand car enthusiasts found their way to West Palm Beach for another edition of Bimmer Invasion of West Palm Beach! Like Europe’s Bimmer events, this car event caters to BMW enthusiasts and focuses on bringing together the BMW community in the USA. This car event not only got the most prestige BMWs to one place but had more to offer to the spectators, like a Show & Shine, a burnout competition, an exhaust competition, a drift competition, and an autocross track.

So, who is behind the Bimmer Invasion organization? Bimmer Invasion was established in 2021 but is growing very fast in its footprint. Miguel Torres, Kenneth Fong, and Corey Amirault proudly own and operate the organization. The goal is to bring the BMW community! Bimmer Invasion has evolved into the most extensive BMW-only automotive event series in the United States, drawing thousands of enthusiasts and industry leaders from coast to coast. The organization has 30 to 40 team members/volunteers, and the Bimmer invasion car event is held annually in Florida, California, and New Jersey.
The invasion of West Palm Beach transformed three expansive complexes into a BMW heaven featuring vintage icons and the latest models. Over 1500 stunning builds were located at West Palm Beach, and over 100 major aftermarket brands exhibited their latest and greatest to give your BMW that breathtaking look or stunning performance.
The spectator not only got the opportunity to see the most exquisite build but also got to experience a Show & Shine competition. Around 40 trophies were handed over to several car owners by the judges, who had a tough time making their decision final. Some awards were for Best of Show, Best Engine Bay, Best Wheel Setup, Best Wrap, Best Paint, Best Interior, and Best Widebody, to mention a few. There was also a Bimmer Girl Award, which the bimmer girls club presented.
For adrenaline seekers, the Bimmer Invasion had much more to offer, like an Exhaust and 2-step competition, where no more than 15 competitors could have had the time to deafen the spectators temporarily. Also, there was a drifting competition for the first time during the Bimmer Invasion. This section had space for 10 participants, who were able to show off their driving skills to the spectators.
And a car event isn’t a car event without some traditional burnouts. Several participants battled each other to crown themselves Burnout King of West Palm Beach.
The INVASION of West Palm Beach also offered BMW owners an AutoCross section, which BMW CCA presented. This section allowed participants to learn their vehicles’ limits in a controlled environment.
Several car enthusiasts found their way to West Palm Beach for another edition of Bimmer Invasion of West Palm Beach! This car event had only the best Florida has to offer. The next stop for the Bimmer enthusiast following Bimmer Invasion would be 6th and 7th September 2025 for another edition of Bimmer Invasion—Invasion of Los Angeles. Make sure you don’t miss it!
