Coppa d'Oro Beauty Parade.
On Sunday morning, things got serious for the motorcycles after the exhibition days: The winner of the beauty parade would receive the award. The winner of the Coppa d'Oro, which is awarded by the jury for "Best of Show Bikes", was the Grindlay Peerless 100 from Erez Yardeni from Thailand.
The BMW Group's cars were also there to be seen. One of the eye-catchers was the BMW Concept Coupé Mille Miglia from 2006, with which the engineers wrote a worthy epitaph for the legendary retro racing car BMW 328 Mille Miglia Touring Coupé from 1940.
