Thanks to club contacts we are able to get a private tour of the Boeing Volume 7 No. 1 2004 assembly Plant. After an early morning drive down I-5 to the plant, Boeing meets us with a tour bus and takes us on a private guided tour that is much better than the tour you get if you go to the tour center. Minimum height for kids is 4’-2” (127cm) Dress and footwear restrictions also apply and members must provide citizenship info (similar to border crossing info). There is no cost for the plant tour, but we make a lunch stop on Whidbey Island as a part of the scenic return trip, so there are lunch costs and a ferry crossing to budget for. Register early! Registration preference given to members and their families who have not previously been on this tour.

Pre registration is requested and is available now via the following Karelo link: http://www.karelo.com/ enter_res.php?BID=49&BT=10#Ev1449 visit our web site www.bmwccbc.org Maintaining Contact By the time you read this issue of Ausblick we will be well into our summer events. If you haven’t been to an event yet this summer, you owe it to yourself and your Bimmer to attend an event. Events are what our club is and always has been about. As you can see from the event listings in this issue, we don’t do meetings in some meeting room; we meet at club events and have fun. Recent event attendance has been great with some events having well over 40 and 50 cars. Most events are even suitable for the entire family. I’d heartily recommend both the upcoming Member Day and the annual Concours and BMW Heritage event in August as two events not to miss, as they are local low cost and can be attended and enjoyed by the entire family. Both events provide a great way to get to meet fellow members and share our love for the cars we enjoy. Our members are the proud owners of some 430+ examples of BMWs finest, and thanks to the BC climate we have a wonderful cross section from rare vintage classics, to beloved older daily drivers as well as many new cars. So be sure to plan to attend an upcoming event, I’m confident you will be glad you did. We have some catching up to do in the news department: Last fall, our president Jim Westmacott was fortunate enough to be one of the BMW Club of Canada representatives at the International Council of BMW Clubs meeting in Germany. Both the BMW Club of Canada and its member clubs play an active role in the International Council, and Phil Abrami the BMW CC president was voted to serve a term as Vice Chair Automobiles on the Council. In addition, at that meeting, Canada through our club presented a nomination for the Dr. Volume 7 No. 1 2004 by Rolf Drommer - Member Services Gerhard Knöchlein Mobile Tradition award. We were pleased that our Canadian nomination resulted in local club member Sultan Karim receiving this first of its kind distinguished award. For those who have met Sultan at club events, you will know that the award which “honours individuals from the international network of BMW Clubs who have rendered an outstanding contribution to the promotion of BMW’s heritage by ensuring the optimal upkeep of their historic BMWs and by making them accessible to the public through active involvement in events” went to a very deserving enthusiast who has been quite active with the vintage BMWs he has owned. In other areas, our BC 8 series owners made their mark when they traveled to the West Coast 8 Fest in Gaberville CA to be part of a gathering of 84 8 series BMWs from all over the west coast and indeed all parts of North America. Our AGM saw the election of several new board members, and it has been great to see them get involved in the activities of the club. The BMW Club of Canada was also fortunate to get a two page article about the Canadian clubs published in the BMW Magazine which is sent out to all owners of BMW that are less than 5 years old. It promises to the start of more coverage of BMW Club life in Canada, and as we are one of the largest clubs in the country, I’m sure future issues will contain info about our club. As you have read elsewhere in this issue, we are trying to get back on track in getting regular newsletters out to the members. Contributions and helpers on the newsletter crew are always welcomed. It is a good way to be a part of your club. I look forward to seeing as many members as possible at some of the upcoming events.

A Note from National It is my pleasure as President of the BMW Club of Canada to offer a few words on the occasion of the Prof. Dr.Gerharft Knöchlein Award ceremony in honor of Sultan Karim. My regrets and apologies for not being able to be at your AGM in person but family matters prevent my attendance. The Prof. Dr.Gerharft Knöchlein BMW Mobile Tradition award is the first international award given to a member of the BMW Club of Canada. It is fitting that Sultan receive this recognition. His love of the marque and dedication to preservation of historic BMWs is important. But equally important is his willingness to share these beautiful and unique cars with club members. In doing these things Sultan embodies what it means to be a club member. Than you, Sultan, and congratulations for an award well deserved. Where does one start when there has been a gap in communication? The first thing would be to explain and apologize for the lack of club newsletters since last fall. I’ll make no grand excuses, just simply state the facts, and that is that other things have a way of getting in the way, and every time it was time to get a newsletter done, it ended up being delayed to the point it got put on the back burner completely. As your default newsletter editor, I’d like to apologize for the issues I missed. At the board level we have started to explore options that will help us get back on track and get regular newsletters out to the members. This shortened issue is our start, and we should have a full sized issue out by the end of July with past event coverage and additional news and info about upcoming events. Fortunately a lot of our members are on email, and a large number of them also frequent our web site and the electronic forum. For those inclined to numbers, we have 328 members subscribed to our email news list and 162 members on the forum out of a total master membership of 335. Our total membership, (master members and associates) stands at 450 BMW enthusiasts. A lot has transpired since the last full issue of the newsletter was put in the mail. Most of what has happened has been documented on the web site, and several partially completed issues of the newsletter from last fall are available as PDF files for viewing in our member newsletter archive section One of the stumbling blocks to getting the newsletter completed is the text that goes with past event stories and pictures. You as a member can help in that regard. After an event, simply jot down some of your impressions and thoughts about an event and send them off to us as an email. It will help us put content into the newsletter. For that matter, any stories and content you have that are club and BMW related are appreciated. As you know in the past we have worked really hard to focus on our club and our members in the newsletter and we’d like to keep it that way. It seems much more club like and member oriented than printing the latest press releases from BMW. On the positive side of things, it has been great to see so many members, including quite a few new faces at the events we have hosted so far in 2004. As you can see from the Road Ahead section in this issue we have quite a few great events planned between now and August, and we have more planned for the rest of the year, and will report on those events in more detail in the next issue. In closing, this is your club, so in addition to participating in the events we host for you the member, take a bit of time and send us some newsletter contributions. Every little bit helps. And for those who feel more ambitious, feel free to volunteer to become part of the newsletter team. We’ve already got a few names, but more helpers would certainly make the workload easier, and enable us to deliver a club newsletter that is written from the members’ perspective.
