Hello,

Just wanted to know how many of us are BMW Car Club members on here?

Regards, Dave (Z4 Register Representative)

Not a car club member but I've been a member of the BMW motorcycle club for nearly 40yrs, I know we've got quite a few bike owners on here anyone else in the bike club?

I am but don't really get much out of it, but you could argue that's down to me.

Ah, they finally found someone to replace me after I stopped years back. I gave up due to the lacklustre interest from the general Z4 community towards the BMWCCGB. My introduction post here about the car club went down like a fart in a spacesuit. Think I dealt with 2 queries via their own forum in the years I helped out. Gave up on them, and used the membership fee on hooning instead...

Sad days, but the car club has been marginalised by forums like this and social media groups who provide better engagement. They do make a decent monthly magazine though, so that's a bonus... Even better is that most of their regions allow you go to their events without being a member anyway

Good luck

Oh, and putting 2 and 2 together, your appointment as the register rep probably explains why the deluge of SPAM I was getting from their dodgy email system has stopped

Exactly that

I am
Like most clubs you get out what you put in. There are advantages to being a member often not seen by non-members - like last year when I got one of the only 1000 invites worldwide to take my car to the BMW Festival in Munich and had the time of my life !

Not for me - I have no interest at all in anything BMW makes these days!

Don't want a dieseasel, a turbo, a 4 cylinder engine, an auto, any DCT/flappy-paddle nonsense - so that is the last decade ruled out!

BMWs just seem to be designer white goods these days - if I had the budget the only new car I would buy would be a manual Mustang GT with a V8!

Are you replying to a different thread?

Yes I'm a member and have been to some events although not for a couple of years. I must admit I find the regional structure a bit baffling. It appears to be only loosely based on geography!

Sounds like the BMW brand has annoyed you somehow ?
