BMW ACA/CCA Timeline

For the last several years, the Club’s Board of Directors has had discussions with representatives of the BMW Car Club of America (BMW CCA) and BMW of North America (BMW NA). For the remainder of this discussion we will refer to our club, the BMW Automobile Club of America, as ACA. We will refer to BMW CCA as simply CCA and to BMW NA as NA. The Zundfolge magazine is published by ACA. If you get Roundel, it is published by CCA.

CCA and NA would like to have our Club become a chapter of CCA. In fact, offers have been made by CCA to the ACA to become a CCA chapter since 1976. When this topic has been considered in the past, the ACA has felt that the members are better served as members of an independent Club.

This issue has been raised again. The ACA Board feels that it is appropriate that this issue be discussed and decided by the Club’s entire membership.

The intention is to open a discussion of the issues for consideration of the membership. Members’ letters will be published in future issues of Zundfolge. The following is a timeline for consideration of this issue:
