BMW Car Club of Great Britain

The BMW Car Club of Great Britain is the official club for BMW owners and fans in the UK. Founded in 1952, it has more than 4,000 members and is one of the biggest BMW clubs in Europe, catering for every BMW from the classics to the latest models.

The club is split into 23 regions, each with monthly local meets, and its model registers have captains who can help with technical questions. The calendar includes the club's own National Festival and National Concours, stands at big shows such as the NEC Classic Motor Show and Silverstone, and tours like the Welsh Weekend, the Highland Fling and Laon Historique in France.

Members can book discounted track days, with numbers kept small and free instruction thrown in, and the club has its own motorsport and racing section.

Members can read Straight Six, the club's award-winning monthly magazine written by members, with a printed copy available as an extra, and get a fortnightly email newsletter. Membership also brings a club insurance scheme, discounts on parts and servicing, a forum and classified adverts.
