Annual NJ Chapter Pick Your Pumpkin Rally to Benefit NORWESCAP

Annual NJ Chapter Pick Your Pumpkin Rally to Benefit NORWESCAP Oct. 25, 2026 Come join us for the NJ chapter's annual Fall Pick Your Pumpkin Rally. Come out and have a great time roaming scenic back roads of New Jersey while cursing the Rallymaster's ridiculous clues. In what has become a new tradition of the NJ Chapter, the rally is being run as a charity event to benefit NORWESCAP - an organization dedicated to helping low income families in northwest New Jersey through a variety of services including a food bank and nutrition assistance. Clues and final route are still being finalized so check back here for updates. For those of you who are new to the rally, the format is that cars are released onto the route at intervals. You are given a list of route instructions and clues/questions to answer along the way. The car with the highest score in each class wins with ties determined by time. Cars with a driver and navigator may enter the Competition Class (counts toward the chapter Driver Champ Series) or the Family Class and cars with 3 or more people are in Family Class. This is all for fun -  we hope to have some prizes that are provided by the club (and maybe a dealer or two) but come out for the drive along roads that you may not have driven before and the chance to get together with fellow club members. This is one of the few club events with driving involved that both children and non-members are welcome. Starting Point: Spinning Wheel Diner 283 US-22 E Lebanon, NJ 08833 Registration on-site opens: 8:45 am Drivers' meeting: 9:15 am First car off: 9:30 am sharp Ending Point: Long Valley Pub & Brewery 1 Fairmount Rd. Long Valley, NJ 07853 We are announcing the end point this year so that anyone who can't do the rally but wants to join us for food and laughs can do so. Cars will be released in order of registration date/time so register early if you want to be among the first cars sent out! Cost: $25 per car (collected at the event, exact change much appreciated [we collect payment info during registration only in case you are unable to pay at the event]) - larger donations accepted with gratitude- all net proceeds donated to NORWESCAP. There must be one BMW CCA member in the car who is the registrant. Guests are not required to be members. You may register on-site on the day of the event if this is a last-minute decision to participate - all are welcome but each car must have at least one Club member.

About Us

BMW Car Club of America – New Jersey Chapter

Founded in 1970, the New Jersey Chapter of the BMW Car Club of America is one of the largest and most active chapters in the nation, proudly representing more than 3,000 members across New Jersey and the surrounding region. Our mission is simple: create exceptional experiences for BMW enthusiasts and build a community where passion, learning, and camaraderie thrive.

A Community Built Around Enthusiasm

Our members come from all walks of life, but we share two things: a love for driving and a love for connecting with others who feel the same way. Whether you’re new to BMW ownership or a lifelong enthusiast, you’ll find a welcoming group ready to share knowledge, stories, and the joy of these incredible cars.

Events That Bring Us Together

We host a wide range of activities throughout the year, including:

  • Monthly Member Meetings featuring technical presentations, demonstrations, and guest experts
  • Social Events that are family‑friendly, relaxed, and perfect for meeting fellow enthusiasts
  • Cars & Coffee Gatherings that draw an impressive mix of classic icons and modern M cars

These events are the heartbeat of our chapter—and our photo galleries capture just how vibrant and diverse our community truly is.

Driving, Learning, Skill‑Building & Competition

As a car club, we place a strong emphasis on safe, responsible, and skilled driving. Our behind‑the‑wheel programs offer members the chance to learn, grow, and experience their cars in a controlled environment:

  • Tire Rack Street Survival for teen drivers
  • Autocross events for honing precision and car control
  • High‑Performance Driver Schools at premier racetracks
  • BMW CCA Club Racing

Whether you’re looking to improve your everyday driving or explore the limits of your BMW, we have a program for you.

Technical Knowledge and Resources

BMW owners love to tinker—and our chapter is a goldmine of expertise. With decades of collective experience, our members are always willing to help with maintenance tips, modification advice, and troubleshooting. We also maintain a technical library and a shared toolbox to support your projects.

Driven by Members, For Members

The New Jersey Chapter is entirely volunteer‑run, and our direction is shaped by the interests and ideas of our membership. If there’s an activity you’d like to see or a service you think would benefit the community, we encourage you to speak up. This club exists for you.

Join Us

Come to an event, meet fellow enthusiasts, and experience what makes this chapter special. We’re confident you’ll make new friends, discover new passions, and deepen your appreciation for the Ultimate Driving Machine. Consider paid membership for greater benefits!
