Also an aside, how many Xs do you see at a BMWCCA track day?

While most chapters don't allow SUVs for HPDEs, quite a few have started to allow BMW X vehicles on track. If you look in the paddock, there are plenty of BMWs towing track cars. Also, non-enthusiasts can always get into cars and/or BMWs by hanging around other enthusiasts, hence a reason to have an X chapter.
With more than half of BMWs in the US sold being X vehicles, this new chapter is a big opportunity to gain members that may not like to hang with traditional BMW enthusiasts (you know, the ones who don't like SUVs lol).
Plus, just go to the top of the page and click on any of the X vehicle forums, some are more active than ones dedicated to cars.
