Newsletter

FREUDE am FAHREN – JOY of DRIVING

 

Membership in BMWCSA includes our two Newsletters.

Freude am Fahren (Joy of Driving in German) is printed and mailed to your home four times a year.  Copies are available at all of our advertisers.

Joy of Driving is emailed via our MailChimp email six times a year.  The MailChimp also includes information on events from the newsletter and has hot buttons to make event registration easier.

Both newsletters carry the same content which is a mix of Club activities, technical articles, BMW News, member stories and features and the odd infomercial featuring an Advertiser’s shop or special features.

Classified ads are also included in the newsletters and on our website.  They are free to our members but we charge $80 for non-members – this is to encourage membership in the Club which offers a host of benefits and discounts.

We are open to all comments, letters to the editor, articles, photos and especially any help. Please contact Chris Tworek at Tworek@bmwcsa.ca or 403-618-2577.

Ideas and opinions are those of the authors, without authentication by or liability to BMWCSA, its Editors, Directors or Officers.

Material in the newsletter may describe vehicle modifications or procedures to achieve them that may void your warranty, cause your car to fail emissions tests, or make your insurance company or agent unhappy with your customization. The BMW Club Southern Alberta, its Editors, Directors and Officers are not responsible for any consequences that may ensue from such modifications.
