BMW Car Club
Ive had a look round their site and I am thinking of joining. Is it worth the joining fee of £45 and are any of you helpful lots members and do you think you get value for money?
Lots of benefits/discounts available. If you've been to the site then you can see the benefits for your self. You get discount on parts from dealers, etc etc.
There are a fair few members on this site.
I am bias of course so I'd better come clean now

Like any club, the more you put into it the more you will get out of it.
The magazine often has a good Z3 content, and has improved a lot over the last few years.
Local events are usually poorly supported, but people such as Phil are undeterred, and keep organising them.
Track days are - depending on one's budget, good value or expensive, but I guess if you want to drive on a GP circuit etc they are OK.
Even just the 10% discount most dealers gve to members is worth having - I have just bought a complete 3 litre Z3 exhaust system, and saved over £60 in the process.

Joining Fee
Don't forget the once-only £10 joining fee, whic will take a DD memberhsip back to £45 for the initial year.
The NW Region is one of the most active parts of the BMWCC, so you hsould have a good time.

FD,
I think it is worth joining, good social gathering once a month to meet with other BMW enthusiasts with different models.
There are also car shows, exhibitions, cruises, pub meets etc. Do as much as you are able. I have found the majority to be helpful.
The 'Straight Six' BMW Car Club magazine is a cracker and some people pay the £45 just for that.
My local BMW parts dealer have always gone out of there way to be helpful and apply what dicount they can.
For the Zeds, Phil does a cracking job organising meets / events for members to attend.
I attended a couple of car exhibition meets to meet up with others first before I joined. Worth you getting hold of Striaight Six to see what all the regions are organising. You can also check out the following:

Meets
When you go to a meet, don't stand in the background waiting to be noticed - go over and introduce yourself. People who lurk around, then go home disappointed because no-one spoke to them don't really help themselves.
