It is the only club that maintains links with BMW AG, BMW Malaysia and other BMW clubs around the world, and The International Council of BMW Clubs. The club is run by and for the members, and aim to provide something for everyone interested in the marque - whatever the age of the car or the member. Over the years, members have been exchanging information and sharing resources within the club forum that can be found at their website, <a href="http://www.bmwclubmalaysia.com" target="_blank">www.bmwclubmalaysia.com</a>. The forum also serves as a medium where the members organize activities based on the group's interest to promote better social and community awareness. On December 10th, 2005, the Pro-tem committee of the club organized a trip down south to Johor Bharu. Seeing that there was a significant amount of members in the southern chapter who have been communicating with the central members via forum, it was high time that they broke the ice in person, finally matching faces to their cyberspace nicknames. At the same time fulfilling one of the members' interest; driving their Ultimate Driving Machines! The morning of the said date came with high anticipation. The central members had gathered at McDonald's after the Sg. Besi toll to have breakfast before taking off. Among the cars gathered were the classic 2002, E24 6 Series, E28 5 Series, E30 3 Series, E34 5 Series, E36 3 Series, E39 5 Series and the E46 3 Series. The 1974 BMW 2002 then led the way for 35 members in 17 cars. The 3-hour plus trip garnered a lot of attention of road users along the way. Upon arrival in JB, they were greeted by another dozen cars at a petrol station and again made heads turn. After a few hours of rest at the hotel, they met up at the southern chapter's regular TT (Teh Tarik session) spot at a local Projet station where the Johor rides joined the fray in full force. There were even a group of Singaporean rides that made the effort to join them. The gathering of Bimmers was a sight to behold. Interesting cars from the south included an AC Schnitzer kitted E60 5 Series and a rare E30 Convertible. Central meets southern and the ice-breaking session began. Members were exchanging stories and checking out rides that were only limited on the internet before this. All the excitement left them starving and off they went a popular seafood restaurant for a scrumptious meal. Members were more comfortable with each other now and the Vice President, Jeffrey Ewe gave a short speech followed by the JB representatives. A party would soon follow suit at the NY Club. A popular joint often visited by the Johor Royals, NY Club recognized the visit by letting the club park their best cars and had the club's banner hanged in front. Visitor's of the club that night were entertained with a BMW Q&A session and received prizes. All in all, everyone had fun and the trip proved to be a memorable one. The Club is ever-growing and open to anyone who owns and has interest in BMWs. More fun activities and events are lined up for 2006 and we hear a Northern Drive is coming up.
