August 29th - September 1st, 2003

The Lime Rock Vintage Festival is now run by Steve Earle, the man behind the Monterey Historics. This is the second year of BMW's return as presenting sponsor. The 25th Anniversary of the M1 will be celebrated as part of this year's festival, with M1 owners from all over North America attending as guests of BMW NA. It will be the largest turnout of M1s ever in North America, with almost 20 cars already committed. Among the featured cars will be the Andy Warhol Art Car, the original "turbo" concept car, the IMSA Championship and runnerup ProCars, the first M1 prototype, the first ProCar prototype, and several immaculate road cars. Hans Stuck will be present to discuss his role in the development of the M1. There will be parade laps by the M1s during the vintage races on Saturday and Monday. The Sunday Concours will have an M1-only class, with a trophy presented by BMW. There will be a special exhibition tent featuring special M1s, M1 memorabilia, and M1 celebrities. Cars will be coming from as far away as California, Canada and Arizona, as well as seven other states. It is being organized by the M1 Register.
