About Northwest BMW Club
Last Updated:  November 2009

Northwest BMW Club was established in late 2004 with the purpose of providing the BMW community the best club experience that Spokane and North Idaho has to offer. We have since grown to nearly 300 members far exceeding any other local BMW club in the region with members in Montana, Spokane, North Idaho, Portland and Seattle.  As our numbers continue to grow, we continue to work harder to serve the members of the club.  Without our diverse group of members, we would be nothing and I personally thank everyone who has helped make this club grow.  Northwest BMW Club is a club for BMW Drivers by BMW Drivers.

James Haile and Jake Dunkin have worked exclusively together for the past 4 years to broaden what the club has to offer.  Being a member entitles you to free club Decals, forum access, free drives and events, photography and video editing, e-mail, web hosting and more.  Other items offered are Sweatshirts and T-Shirts with our club logos and direct access to a number of professional photographers to capture the best image of your BMW.  Our latest endeavor has nwBMWclub.com working with AutoSports Northwest (where we are a sponsor) providing a Novus BMW/Mini Auto Cross day to get some fresh faces off the streets and onto the track at an affordable cost.  We look forward to working with ASNW and believe this is a relationship that will last for years to come.

In July of 2009, nwBMWclub decided to sponsor Scott Norton and his budget SCCA race team.  Scott was making his way from Seattle when him and his brother stopped in Ritzville to fill up.  They noticed a ton of transmission fluid leaking from their tow truck.  Thinking their transmission was gone, Scott called up Jake.  At the time, we had planned a small BBQ at Jake's home in preparation for Scott and his brother's arrival.  Without hesitating, Doug, Jake, Saleem and James packed up and took off for Ritzville to "rescue" Scott and his brother Cameron - at 10PM, on a  Thursday.  Scott not only raced in all of the available races at the Spokane Grand Prix but he also put on the race of the weekend narrowly coming in 2nd place.  Thank you Scott and Cameron for allowing us to be a part of your weekend.  We look forward to sponsoring you next year.

Some of our past events have included cruising around the beautiful Lake CDA to taking over St. Regis, Montana for our annual Montana Run.  Our most proud moment has to be in March of 2008 when nwBMWclub worked with Albertsons in Liberty Lake to bring Cars for a Cure.  This show brought in over $500 to donate to the Muscular Dystrophy Association (www.mdausa.org) and was featured in the Liberty Lake Splash.
