O yes bro M-sport 525i, i would say i've always wanted ALL bmw club members to stay under one roof, which is ofcourse like said BMWCM the official club. Coming to consider bro sanjay's definition of "club", its pretty true.
When i first joined the club, i was so blur as in no one leads me on what i should do etc. I asked a simple question on "what's a TT?", but no one was there to help at all. Is this so called a family? Well you can say so but its jus like when ur home and your family members are watching tv, you ask them "what's on tv?" and they're silent to your question, how would you feel? Well i'm speaking thru experience here and i do not intend to offend anyone. Luckily i met this guy who made the first move to give me a call and invited me out for a drink.
Why are there so many different clubs/ forums but the same car? Well at the end of the day, it's all about personal preference. Its jus like fixing your car, there's auto bavaria/ sapura auto (so called official service centre), why would many choose to go others? Like said once again PERSONAL PREFERENCE. Another reason why i joined other clubs is becos, BMWCM implemented fees where me myself as a student dont think its worth it. Affordability will be another common issue, where many will say driving a bmw, rm300 is nothing. To me its a big thing. Do i need to pay rm300 to get friends? Why should i? When i step into college i get tons of them and stepping on those freaking tiles wont cost me a s ingle cent. Honestly i have never thought of leaving BMWCM, but i joined other clubs to know more about my ride, and ofcourse getting free friends.
Sorry if i've offended anyone, please forgive me as these are my 2 cents worth of humble opinions and experience. Cheers!
