Boston Bimmer

Boston Bimmer, the newsletter of the Boston Chapter, is published 10 times per year. The online version of the Boston Bimmer is available on the web site around the same day that that the paper Boston Bimmer is delivered to our members (around the first of the month).

The Boston Bimmer doesn't always have enough room for all of the excellent photos we receive, but the web site has plenty of room. Disk space is cheap. Boston Bimmer Online includes information and features not included in the printed Boston Bimmer.

Event Information

The Ultimate Calendar is a listing of upcoming Boston Chapter and other car related events. Each Boston Chapter event has at least one page that tells you all about the event, including the event coordinator's contact information and directions.

Event Results for competitive events such as Autocross are usually posted within a week of the event. Event Results are the only portion of the Boston Bimmer that you will see on the web site before you see it in print.

My Boston Chapter

My Boston Chapter allows you to manage your classified ads, your event registrations, and your mailing list subscriptions. You can also set up default values for things like your address, email, and car model. These settings will be used to prefill forms used when you register online for Boston Chapter events. My Boston Chapter usernames are free and are available to anyone with an email address.

The Boston Chapter Bulletin is an "announcements only" email list that is used to update members on Boston Chapter events.
