pseto · 01-13-2022, 04:06 PM

BIG ///M Chapter announcement! After only a few days, we're halfway to our goal of 50 M vehicles for the 50th anniversary of M!

In conjunction with BMWNA, we are now taking submissions to show your unique M vehicle at the world famous Amelia Island Concours weekend!

This is an amazing and once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to display our M vehicles to celebrate the 50 years of M during The Amelia Cars & Caffeine event on Saturday, March 5th.

Sign up now to see if you make the cut! This will be an unbelievable collection of M vehicles and I sure we will have a tough time only selecting the top 50. For more information, please email paul.seto@nccbmwcca.org

Too bad that the Pacific NW people always seems to be screwed for live M Chapter events.

Hey DanG I appreciate the feedback. I am the past VP of the M Chapter and current President. We have been trying to get more in person events done all over USA. Unfortunately we are all volunteers on the Chapter so we rely on having people boots on grounds to cover the areas. Fortunately as of last month we were able to recruit a much needed Governor for that area. Hopefully that continues to drive more events development. We have a full calendar of events cooking up for 2022 and we hope to do some on the west coast. Thermal is one venue we plan to continue holding events at. Every Governor will need the help of area Champions. If you are interested in helping get more events in your area DM me to put you in contact with your area Governor.

I got very involved in my local chapter when no events were being done locally and every time I needed to drive a few hours to attend events. I was able to change that by leading Chapter events in my area on a monthly basis.

This is going to be a great event. I'm looking forward to my first trip to Amelia.

Would love to go but it's a 10+ hour drive one way for me, I don't really have the time to take off to go.

I have a friend up in Nashville planning to make his drive in his E46 M3.

If you can't make it maybe see if MX1 in April works, we will have a big event at BMW CCA Headquarters that first weekend.

Its 10+ hours for me too driving from DC. Sounds like a fun, comfortable ride in your M8C. You should submit your car, we don't have a M8C yet

I'd love to go, if I could get away from work I'd definitely go but there isn't anyone right now that can run this business.

Just a quick update, we have an awesome collection of cars that have been submitted; some of which are incredibly rare. My goal is to have every M vehicle manufactured represented and I'm surprised we haven't received any of the following yet: E28 M5, Z3M, Z4M, E60 M5, E87 1M

Anyone else out there interested in submitting your M vehicle? This will be a bucket list item as the 50th anniversary of M only comes around once!

We’ve been overwhelmed with all the incredible submissions for our 50th anniversary of M display at The Amelia’s Cars & Caffeine event! As we enter of our last week before the deadline, we’re still looking for the more rare and limited M vehicles produced.

Celebrating the 50 years of M with BMW CCA and BMW NA will be an absolutely awesome experience, so please submit your M vehicle ASAP before Mon, Jan 31st.

All M vehicles will be vetted and selections will be finalized by early February so people can make their travel arrangements. Good luck!
