BMW Clubs Europa e.V. (BCE) unites many countries in Europe from east to west. The different cultures make the work very exciting. Normally, there is always a big Europe meeting on Ascension Day weekend. BCE is the successor of the original global federation of the BMW Clubs, which was created on 20 May 1961. In order to do justice to all clubs worldwide, a new route was taken in 1981 and the International Council was formed, founding the present BCE in February 1981 in Hockenheim. At first, all clubs were supervised directly by BCE. At some point, as 333 clubs are now part of the BCE, umbrella organisations were founded in order to have local contacts and to make administration easier. The slogan ‘Sheer Driving Pleasure’, which has existed since 1965, still unites the clubs today.

‘One passion, one community’ is one of the most beautiful expressions to have
been created.
