We would like to welcome to the Club: Photo by Greg Walsh Delree Dumont (2017 320i) *Joy of Driving 3 Joy of Driving Greg Walsh BMW Group Canada has made a couple of significant changes to their Loyalty Discount on new car purchases for the members of BMW Clubs Canada. There are no longer any restrictions on which cars qualify. All M-cars now qualify for the Discount. There is now however, a cap on the discount at $2000 Canadian. So, your Discount on any new BMW is now 2% of MSRP up to a maximum of $2000.00. This is a generous reward from BMW Group to long term members of the BMW Clubs in Canada. I encourage you to take advantage if you are considering the purchase of a new vehicle. There are, of course, qualifications and procedures to follow. The most pertinent are that you must have been a BMW Clubs Canada member for the 12 months preceding your application and you must apply in advance of your purchase. These are the Canadian rules, which differ from our neighbours to the south. You may not apply using the American Club’s rules. See our web page for complete Canadian details and forms: https://www.bmwcsa.ca/membership-overview/benefits . N.B. The bikers in our crowd get a slightly different, ride-specific discount, also linked on the Club web site. February brings a longing for track time. It has been a long drought in Calgary since the closure of the track at Race City and the temporary hiatus in the Club’s High Performance Driving Schools. But there appears to be a light shining at the end of the tunnel…. Thursday February 21st at 7:30 PM Mr. Dominic Young, President of Rocky Mountain Motorsports, will be giving an exclusive presentation to your Club describing the new track being built at Carstairs and scheduled for opening in September. This will include a virtual walk of the track design. Please see the Kalender for details/registration for this presentation and Q&A, and please do register so Dominic can order sufficient doughnuts. Winter always brings opportunities for Car Handling Schools on ice and snow…unless of course you are unfortunate enough to live in Calgary. We had to postpone the January 19th Winter School at YYC due to insufficient ice and snow. It was rescheduled to February 2nd and by the time you read this we’ll know if the Snow Queen cooperated at last. In any event our northern friends at BMWCNA (i.e. Edmontonians) are planning a winter track and skid pad school on the ice at Roy’s Lake (10 km South of Spruce Grove) on February 24th, 2019. Your intrepid Membership Coordinator Glen Cook, myself and three other Calgarians attended and thoroughly enjoyed this School last February. See Kalender for details and registration. See you there! Attention E30/E46 drivers! Following the ROARING SUCCESS AND BimmerLife PUBLICATION of the E39 Retro Road Test by our Club members (see September 2018 Freude am Fahren), we will stage a road test for E30/E46ers. This is tentatively scheduled for a weather- dependent weekend afternoon in May. If you are the lucky owner of one of these great cars and want an adventure filled afternoon please drop me a line at [email protected] to register your interest.

  • 2012 1 Series Convertible Release Jan 2011
    A subsidiary of BMW AG BMW US Press Information For Release: EMBARGO December 15, 6:00PM EST THE 2012 BMW 1 SERIES CONVERTIBLE BMW 135i Convertible Receives Exciting Upgrades for 2012. Woodcliff Lake, NJ – EMBARGO December 15, 6:00PM EST …BMW today announced several modifications to the 2012 BMW 1 Series Convertible that accentuate efficiency and premium quality. The unmistakable profile of the 1 Series Convertible, which represents the purest expression of BMW DNA is now sharper than ever. The new design of the front fascia includes BMW’s innovative Air Curtain that counters turbulence near the wheel arches and so reduces the aerodynamic resistance of the vehicle. New exterior design accents have been incorporated into the headlight and tail light clusters. In the interior, new switches and controls have a more refined look and feel. The updated 1 Series Convertible will go on sale this Spring. For drivers whose definition of Joy includes wind in the face and sunshine above, the BMW 1 Series Convertible continues the tradition established by the iconic BMW 2002 sport sedan. The essence of such driving purity – a responsive inline-6 engine perfectly positioned within a rear-drive chassis to provide balanced, sporty dynamics – is at the heart of this compact four-seat convertible. For the 2012 model year, two versions are available with inline-6 power: the 128i and the 135i. Powered by a 3.0-liter, 230 horsepower inline-6 engine that generates 200 lb-ft of torque, the 128i Convertible features BMW’s Valvetronic throttle-less intake technology and aluminum/magnesium construction—core elements of BMW’s EfficientDynamics.
