Upcoming Events

Our fifth Auto-X (Autocross) event will be August 09 2026 at TD Bank Ballpark. Autocrossing has been a premier activity for the New Jersey Chapter from the beginning. If you have questions about what an autocross is or how the event is organized, please go here. Each driver will usually get at least 8 timed runs during the day. Your best time counts toward the competition. Each cone that is knocked down, or displaced from the box in which it stands, adds a 2 second penalty. The Venue: The TD Bank Ballpark lot allows courses that yield typical run times of about 45 seconds. Most drivers run the course using 2nd gear. Course map: TBA Minimum Age and License: Drivers must be at least 17 years of age and have full driver's license. Car requirements: You do not need to own or drive a BMW to participate.  However, your car should be in safe condition to run at an autocross.  Please consult the tech document here.

Lebanon, NJ - August 11th - 5:30 pm

An evening of craft beer, clean builds, and good company at Sunken Silo Brew Works.

We’re kicking off a new kind of chapter event. Bimmers & Brews is a casual, no-pressure car meet at one of Hunterdon County’s best craft breweries. Pull up with your BMW, grab a pint from Sunken Silo’s rotating tap list, and spend the evening walking the lot, swapping stories, and meeting fellow enthusiasts. No agenda. No formalities. Just cars and community.

  Here’s the best part: Sunken Silo is normally closed on Tuesdays. They’re opening their doors exclusively for the NJ Chapter. That means the taproom, the patio, and the parking lot are all ours for the night.

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!
