About us
Michiana Chapter of the
BMW Car Club of America
We serve BMW CCA members in west Michigan and northern Indiana. Our purpose as a chapter is rather simple: to promote interest in motoring, to organize and conduct touring activities, to encourage safe and skillful driving, to offer classes, disseminate information, produce various publications, generally promote activities related to motor touring, and to share a love of all things BMW – Oh, and we have a good deal of fun along the way too!
If you are not currently a BMW CCA member, please consider joining, whether or not you own or drive a BMW. (But if you do decide a Bimmer would look good in your driveway, we can even help you find a nearby dealer!)
While you’re here, click on the Facebook link to see some of our events and members and join our chapter e-mail group to stay connected with what’s going on with the Michiana Chapter! Your comments and suggestions are always welcomed … as is your participation in any of our activities. Thanks for stopping by!
