Is the Singapore MClub worth it?

[Dark Knight]

Hey folks, wrote into the Singapore M Club after seeing their website(BMW M-Club Singapore)... Got an email back asking for a $450 fee as membership.

However, I could not find any details on what I get for the $450... The site has some nice pics, but I could have taken those pics as well.. know what I mean?

Any feedback from any of you who are either part of this group or have heard anything?

Cheers!

They actually have lots of events, if I'm not mistaken they're at the Nurburgring right now for a driving experience and just in June they had a similar thing where BMW flew over some cars from Germany to use to at Sepang (it was a 2 day event). They're entering the SKC event at the F1, although trials have already occurred. They do regular social drives around Singapore and in Malaysia.

I bought a PI car then was approached by them to join when I met one of the sales staff. So I paid $450 and joined up, so far I've only been able to make it one of the Malaysia drives because the timing of events hasn't been great with work. Although, I'm planning to take them up on their offer to support their SKC team at the F1 this year!

IMO, it is worth joining the BMW M-Club Singapore, as you will have priorities in attending the many events organized by the club or jointly organized with Munich Automobiles, also a great way to meet fellow M owners in Singapore.

BMW M-Club Singapore is the only official M-Club that is affiliated to BMW AG so it is a recognized club and supported by Munich Automobiles.

Re: Is the Singapore MClub worth it?

Not like M owners cant afford $450 but the sum seems objectively highly if it is a yearly fee. I think mine was paid for by Munich for first year. Aevengs like the Nurburing drive and the Sepang ones are activities that a Munich car owner can join regardless of whether he is a club owner. Will have to see if it s worth renewing.

+1... $450 to get on what's effectively a mailing list. Fine-dining meetups you can arrange through this forum, track events you can sign up via MA without being a club member.

Re: Is the Singapore MClub worth it?

i tend to agree that the membership fee is kinda difficult to justify at this current moment. Not enough perks. Btw, i still do not have my M club shirt that was on the list during car delivery. Any new owners receive the shirt?

MA will pay for membership if you buy a car right?

M3s are LTA magnets now.

Quite a few Akra Evos got nailed already. The LTA officer bend down, see the whole damn exhaust is blue titanium, he knows you have the full system. No arguments. Too obvious.

Re: Is the Singapore MClub worth it?

I haven't got my t shirt, decal, etc or gone for a single M club event.
I know there were a couple of drives.

Hey Bros/sis,

The M-Club Membership fee is basically broken up into 3 parts

1) 200 SGD One Time Registration Fee
2) 200 SGD Annual Registration
3) 15 SGD Admin Charge

So your initial payment is 415 SGD, but yearly renewal is 200 SGD. The Funds collected per member helps the M-Club fund events and activities such as Events, Track days, meetups, local/Malaysia drives and other activities are in the works.
