Press Release

ClubE31 has become an Associated Member

As of Sep 22, 2005 the "ClubE31 Worldwide Owners Group" - originally come to life through the E31 related boards ClubE31.de and earlier ClubE31.com - was officially affiliated by the International Council of BMW Clubs and has become an Associated Member.
To date the "ClubE31 Worldwide Owners Group" consists of more than 100 full members and nearly 400 regular visitors & contributors to the Club´s official website "www.ClubE31.de".
The "ClubE31 Worldwide Owners Group", based in Ludwigshafen/Germany and headed by Ralf Pusch also acts as the umbrella organisation for international subchapters that have sprung to life in many European countries, today namely Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, France, Italy, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom with many more to be expected.

The associate membership to the International Council of BMW Clubs clearly marks a milestone for all E31 owners, drivers and connoisseurs. The official recognition will not only have implications with respect to the standing of the E31 community within BMW and in the future with the Mobile Tradition of BMW, but especially open communication channels and pathways to discuss problems that the E31 community might face in the years to come.

We are grateful that our application to the International Council of BMW Clubs has been accepted and look forward to seeing a growing and prospering E31 community, always inspired by the spirit of the 8!

The Club Board
