High hypocrisy on their part. Won't affect my status as a CCA member, however. Plus, I always prefer being part of a counter culture
Perhaps my return to Roundel will be in the form of a letter.

JKO, BP is right. This shouldn't affect you joining. I'm sure they were thinking their club is an OPEN membership therefore their SIGs should be OPEN. It's nothing more than that and in fact, it's logical. How would it look for them to be exclusive in their SIG memberships? Smacks of elitism from an elite luxury brand, not good. They want to promote a different image. I don't agree with their decision on our SIG, because we're a (not) special case, but don't let that effect you joining. There's good people over there including many of us on this forum.

The more the better. He'll publish them.

I agree with BP. Don't let this decision by BMWCCA affect your decision to join the Club. I'm a Club member and will likely be a Club member for as long as I own a BMW.
The BMWCCA decision to drop us (assuming they do) is being done by a small committee that you'll very likely not run into during a Club event or meeting. I have yet to run into an asshat at any event I've been to during the past 12 years.
I agree with Marcus to keep a small hurdle in place to keep this forum special.
I've been a member of BMW CCA for 30+ years and serve on the Board of my chapter.
To drop us as a SIG is a loss to CCA not to us. I will let my Regional VP know my sentiments.
That someone interested can join by contacting this forum is a very reasonable path.
BTW, this ZHPMafia and ZHPs rock.
I'm good with the decision. I hope we remain a SIG, but if BMW CCA chooses to drop us, it's definitely their loss.
I've told many people in my BMW CCA chapter with ZHPs about this forum. I've also explained the process they need to follow to become a member, but I've always emphasized that it's just a precautionary routine and they'll become a member.Especially if they use me for a reference. I hope it wasn't one of these people that decided to be a d*ck.
Btw, I think I will be writing a letter to Roundel as well.

I believe it was a national board member.
