This is it. Bimmer Club Philippines' 5th Year Anniversary!
Bimmer Club Philippines together with European Car Club of the Philippines burned rubber at Subic International Raceway last July 5 2009. More than 20 cars came for the track and some for the fun run. Fastest lap for the day was delivered by Aldous Anacion using his M3 @ 51.87 seconds for the short track. Race instructor Don Pastor was also at the event and offered racing lessons.

Bimmer Club Philippines recently celebrated its 3rd anniversary last May 21, 2010 at the Hexagon Lounge, RCBC Plaza Makati. Here is a tribute video showing what has happened and transpired through out our entire three years of existence. Enjoy!
From a group of fifteen (15) BMW enthusiasts came the origin of BIMMER CLUB PHILIPPINES. Founded at the dawn of May 5, 2007 in a coffee shop along Dela Rosa St. in Makati City, Bimmer Club Philippines is now a community of about a hundred active members.
Bimmer Club Philippines was created to uphold the following core values:
Our main governing code in BCP is "Respect for the Individual's Preference".
How is the club maintained? Since we do not require nor collect any membership fees, funds are generated through donations from fellow members, company sponsorships and sale of BCP merchandise. These funds are used for staging official BCP events such as club sponsored parties (anniversary/Christmas), track days, driving school sessions and forum maintenance. Most of the weekly EB's and Fun-Runs are gladly shouldered by the participating members themselves.
BCP members commune in and out of the forum on a regular basis, providing ample opportunities for newbies to meet the members during EB's and Fun Runs. Other activities include DIY sessions, Dyno Runs, Track Days, Driving Schools, and shop talks. There are however numerous other gatherings of BCP members that are not primarily related to the automotive, such are the frequent EB's themed accordingly for Birthdays, Coffee, Golf, Bowling, RC, Wine, Breakfast, etc...
Being a member of BCP, aside from meeting and making new friends, allows the individual to access a wealth of technical and non-technical information about their BMW's, from knowing how to set the clock on your dashboard to changing VANOS seals; installing OEM parts/accessories to designing and customizing parts/accessories. Of course, being able to engage in endless discussions on what, when, and how you can modify your BMW.
As of late being a member of BCP allows you discounts from Uberwerke AutoSalon, Goodyear Tires, Malayan Insurance, V-Kool Tints, Pronto Auto Services, Eye check-up, dyno runs, track use, group buys for parts/accessories, plus access to various auto shops for repair and maintenance.
Bimmer Club Philippines together with the Euro Car Club of the Philippines held an early morning fun run to Sierra Madre last February 15, 2009. Twenty-one cars, including 9 superb specimens of four generations of ///M3's, carved their way through amazing turns and high speed straights amidst the wonderful mountain scenery.
