Even on a totally selfish basis, I find it’s worth it for the relatively cheap, and quiet track days. Plus there are some discounts from suppliers (although I tend to be able to get as good a discount myself anyway).
Don’t bother with the social side of it though.

The track day is about 30% cheaper than a normal one - so £50-£100 per event - but the added benefit is that its always open pit lane, and there’s only about 30 cars there. They do it so cheap as they’re only covering the cost, not trying to make a profit.R60BBA said:mmm-five said:
Selfish reasons are fine, after all we are all BMW drivers
On average how much do you reckon you save on track days and parts by being a BMW Car Club member each year?
Parts/insurance are more difficult to quantify as you’re limited to where you can go or use, but I used to get 10-15% off main dealer labour - as long as I didn’t fall for the normal “already removed from the total, sir”.

That’s not too shabby. Is the discount specific to BMW only track days or are they applicable to other track days across the country?
I'm biased but will say yes :wink: I'm the Z4 Register Representative and write the monthly column for the glossy magazine 'Straight Six'. Tell me about your car and I will put it in print if I can.
In the first year as a member I saved money on insurance using the clubs discount arrangement, but it was more expensive by the second year so I moved. In the grand scheme of things BMWW CC membership isn't that expensive, I think the magazine is pretty decent (despite my scribblings) and have been to a few official meets now, which were well organised and attended.

It’s just the BMWCC organised trackdays/better driving days - there’s about 8 a year.R60BBA said:mmm-five said:The track day is about 30% cheaper than a normal one - so £50-£100 per event - but the added benefit is that its always open pit lane, and there’s only about 30 cars there.
