If you are a fan of BMWs or most importantly an owner, then I my opinion you should really consider joining BMW Car Club of America.

I found out about this car club when I was browsing the BMW website searching for OEM accessories shortly after I purchased my e60. After doing some research I decided to join. The benefits, and events are the main reasons I jumped into the club. By owning a BMW you own a premium car that requires premium service. With that said one of the biggest draws as a benefit is the BMW dealership discount you receive on routine service and dealer bought aftermarket parts. All of my local BMW dealers here in the Baltimore/DC metro area gives discounts ranging from 10%-20%.

A full list list of the benefits:

An exciting, colorful monthly magazine (Shown on the right)

Discounts on parts and supplies

Free classified ads

Video services

Distinctive club decals

Driving events including schools at internationally renowned race tracks, autocrosses, rallies, tours, and gymkhanas

Technical information and tips

Camaraderie

Outstanding National Events

Additionally once you join the BMW CCA you are placed in a local chapter.

Here in my local area we are part of the National Capital Chapter. This chapter is the largest group of BMW enthusiasts in the US and based in Arlington, VA. Our chapter covers Washington, DC, Northern Virginia, Eastern West Virginia and the entire state of Maryland. Our chapter also has it’s own bi-monthly printed full color magazine.

For the Maryland members of the group an additional benefit are the custom organizational license plates that you can acquire.

The benefits are just a part of the experience of being a member of the BMW CCA. The life style and family environment is another major reason to join. BMW enthusiast love there cars and once you own one you would understand this. It is the ultimate driving machine! For this reason events are held all throughout the year to not only show off our cars but also to drive them in controlled safe environments as well. Below you will see videos of caravans to events, and pictures at some of the events.
