Hi everyone, I don't check the forums like I used to, but I'll try to answer as many questions that I can regarding the M Chapter. As with everything else, starting this chapter during a pandemic is tough, but we believe we've made some great strides for what we offer M chapter members.
We've partnered with the BMW Performance Center for exclusive M Chapter benefits which include M Chapter Days at both Greer and Thermal locations

As of now, all of our events have been free webinars, and we've had some great ones:
Jackie Jouret (BMW & M1 Historian),
Larry Koch (former M and Motorsports manager)
Mike Renner (BMW Performance Center)
Simon Lord (Redux Building the Ultimate E30 M3)
Hagerty's M Track Report (future M valuation)
We have 2 upcoming for CCA Club Racing Intro and Eric Keller (EAG) this month alone. Our M Chapter member's only Facebook page is where you can find more information, our Events, and where most of us hangout.
Our first face-to-face event will be MX1 in Greenville next month and we've gotten overwhelming support thus far. This event is an extended weekend designed for M and X enthusiasts, although all BMW fans are welcomed to join. Our Sunday M Chapter Day sold out shortly after it was announced, but there's still plenty to do with planned events at the BMW CCA Foundation, BMW Performance Center, and BMW CCA Headquarters. See link for a complete schedule:

We also have several caravans setup around the country to get you to Greenville for a great time. All BMW CCA members are welcomed to join, just RSVP to the route leader and you're all set:

Hopefully, once we're past covid, the plan is to host regional M chapter events around the country, as well as, continuing webinars, and co-host other M specific events for members. Anyone wishing to help us continue to build this chapter, please reach out.
