Volunteers, I'm planning on a welcome escort for our New England friends. I was thinking of meeting them some point in DE on the route south and then escorting them into DC air space. Who's in?

Wow I feel like the president or something..

A Noteworthy Message from the NCC President describing the e90post group I may add:

Are car clubs as we know them obsolete? Wynne Smith, the executive director of the national BMW CCA, recently resigned after 18 years of faithful service. She notes that in today’s society, social clubs, including country clubs, trade associations, and volunteer networks, are all losing members. BMW CCA, nationally, stopped growing several years ago. The national Board believes that the CCA should morph itself into a website portal, and Wynne says she is not the person to lead that transformation.

I’m the first to admit that web-based communications have revolutionized what it means to be in a car club. When I purchased my first BMW (a 1986 325es) in 1997, my web research into the various issues I was encountering connected me to an NCC member with a shop, and some repairs and modifications, and then to CCA membership and Autocrossing, and the rest is history.

No one has been able to explain to me why the growth of the BMW CCA nationally has stalled, while our Chapter steadily expands both its membership and its activities. Economic trends may be an influence- the D.C. economy has remained robust and our streets are clogged with BMW’s. Some say that it’s because “BMW has lost its way” and has become a luxury car and SUV maker, no longer an enthusiast’s brand. Some say that social clubs are passé, and unable to compete for the time of their members, except for old geezers who want to talk about the good old days and whine about change. Neither of those explanations ring true with me.

The most intriguing trend to me is the development of web-based chat groups that form their own on-line community of information and connection, as exemplified by the E90 group profiled in this issue. But do you know what happens? Participants in these web-based groups yearn for human connection just like all of us. So they start holding meets, social activities, driving events and otherwise reinventing the social car club - from the bottom up, exactly the way the National Capital Chapter was formed in 1971. .

I’ve observed this in the on-line motorcycle community as well. In the late 1980’s, our chapter had a president who thought that the NCC would become a wine and cheese club and that our driving activities would dwindle away. That didn’t happen. Unlike some other marques, our members insist on driving. (Go on what we euphemistically call a tour!) The new Street Survival program for teaching teen driver safety is rapidly becoming the jewel in the CCA crown, in terms of attracting new participants and creating a sense of mission. You can get some mechanical advice over the web, but that sure doesn’t compare with having a handful of experts teaching you to replace your brakes at a Do-It-Yourself event! What seems to me to be fueling NCC’s growth is that we offer an authentic human connective experience to supplement the information transfer and one-to-many communication that the web enables. According to the book about BMW “Driven” the single common demographic among BMW owners is not age,
sex, income, or other typical classifications, but “an active lifestyle.” That’s what NCC is about…getting out and doing things. And I suspect that it’s our future as well as our past.
