BMW prevails again at DM7!
Although it was neck and neck in the early part of the morning, a convoy of 26 cars from the Ann Arbor area pushed BMW once again to the top. We lost a number of cars to the Porsche Parade, which started in Missouri the day after DeutscheMarques.
Here's a comparison of the car counts for 2017 and 2018.
