At the rate things are going with purchases, maybe there should be planning for a 318ti picnic next year?

However, the Scirocco was a step up from the Golf in terms of price and prestige, whereas the compact was a step down from the coupe/sedan. I've never driven a Scirocco, but it's wrong-wheel-drive, so for me the BMW wins by default. Especially because it's fall and this is Wisconsin.

ChrisO Posted December 31, 2018 Report Share Posted December 31, 2018 Saw this new M5 at the gym in this horrible weather.

Wisconsin "Choose Life" plates I think it would be cool to get some BMW CCA plates for WI. We would need $15,500 with 500 physical signatures. With 500 people using them.

Boris3 Posted March 1, 2019 Report Share Posted March 1, 2019 Badger Bimmers has a membership list around 900 I think. Might be worth reaching out to see if there would be any interest in them floating the idea. Unlikely that there would be enough folks interested but you never know what people are willing to spend their money on be it vanity plates, appearance, go fast bits, and/or maintenance.

Boris3 Posted March 4, 2019 Report Share Posted March 4, 2019 The club magazine tries at times to be all things but does skew older with $$$$ = the demographic more likely to buy/lease a new BMW and that is more BMW "lifestyle" oriented. The bmwcca race coverage pages are a nod to another focus and a holdover from an earlier time. Occasionally there are aspects of the magazine that I find interesting typically the historical stuff and some of the columns (Farnsworth, Siegel, Jenny Morgan when she was still in, Mike Miller). I'm in the club to support the Badger Bimmer track events that got me started and because of the people I've met over the years. As for car-related periodicals I find Grassroots Motorsports more to my liking. Coverage comes closer to things I'm more likely to do to a car or things I'd purchase. Plus they always have cheap subscription deals that come with tshirts and other swag. rampelsauce and patsbimmer1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really enjoyed the magazine but it got to a point where I just stopped reading them once I had my son. I still have some in the wrapper! I'd agree that it does skew towards the people who financially support BMW by purchasing/leasing new but I wouldn't say it's any worse than Motortrend, Car and Driver, etc. The classic coverage is good and racing coverage is nice because they will cover BMW Motorsport from a global perspective. All in all I looked at it as an expensive magazine subscription. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
