As part of some new initiatives, this monthly newsletter is a way of keeping everyone up to date and promote our events and sponsors. Another trial we have implemented is live streaming of the monthly meeting. This will give every club member the opportunity to watch via our BMWCQ Facebook page and comment live if you see fit.

5th Annual ICC Charity Day Regularity

Round 6 Btuned Sprint Series with Porsche Club

Saturday 20 July 7:30AM - 4:00PM

We have been invited to join the Porsche Club for their second visit to the glorious Morgan Park circuit for the year. We have been offered our own run group for the day, so we will need the numbers to fill the group. This time of the year is a winter wonderland on the Downs so why not make a weekend of it with the family.

On Sunday 9th June, BMW Club Queensland hosted the 5th Annual ICC Regularity Challenge charity fund raising event at Lakeside.

We are proud to announce that we were able to raise and donate $10,000.00 which has been shared with our two nominated charities, The Pyjama Foundation and Pay A Sack Forward.

Thank you to the management & staff of Lakeside, and all of the supporting clubs‌MX5, 86, Porsche, Triumph, Holden Sporting Cars, Lotus and of course BMWCQ.
