One of the most prevalent ways in which people with common interests connect is over social media sites like Twitter and Facebook. Although you may not know that BMW provides an alternative... Sure, it might have started all the way back in 1981. But, for many, it will come as a novelty. It's called BMW Clubs.

Comprised of over 200,000 BMW enthusiasts worldwide, BMW Clubs has expansive reach. However, it's also very focused, with three networks dedicated to individuals' specific market segment interests - one for BMW auto fans and two for BMW motorcycles devotees. BMW enthusiasts have been active in nearly 600 clubs around the globe for over three decades!

You might want to consider joining BMW Clubs yourself if you're interested in meeting others who share your passion for BMW cars and/or motorcycles.  Just visit http://www.bmw-clubs-international.com/en/index.html today and join the International Council.  Regardless of whether or not you choose to register with the website (via the small font below the log-in fields), you'll have access to all of the latest BMW Council news as well as BMW Clubs database of different BMW clubs worldwide. And, of course, this is all available as a courtesy to enthusiasts, free of charge.

Braman BMW Jupiter, for example, did a simple Internet search and we were delighted to find BMW Car Club of America, BMW Motorcycle Owners of America, and BMW Riders Association International.  To learn more about any of the BMW clubs you might want to join, all you have to do is click on the corresponding URL.

It really is as easy as it sounds.  Yet, it also lends an invaluable sense of involvement and promises to nurture your interest in BMW far more than any social networking site ever could.
