Bimmers at Carlisle hosted by the Nittany Bimmers Chapter of the BMW CCA
The Nittany Bimmers are hosting a BMW CCA Regional Event in Carlisle, PA. Last year we had a great turn out, so we are planning for an even larger BMW show field this year. Owners can exhibit their cars, socialize with members, and see over 1700 unique and stunning imported vehicles of current and historic makes. There will also be vendors for performance products, car care products, a flea market, and accessories displayed throughout the infield show area.
Several Import & Performance Nationals exhibition events are also planned. This will include drive through judging, autocross, drifting, exhaust competition, and more. Tickets are available at
store.carlisleevents.com. A QR link can also be found below. You’ll see a choice for Non-Judged Showfield at the Import and Performance Nationals. When registering, make sure you select “BMW CCA/NITTANY BIMMERS” as your club. This will get you into the corral. Entry fee for the 2-day Friday-Saturday event is $45 plus handling.
This year the Nittany Bimmers plan to have discussion sessions, BMW technical information, and car care presentations by some of our vendors in our expanded covered tent area.
For those who come into town early before the show, we are planning to meet at the Rolls Royce Foundation Museum on Thursday, May 9th in nearby Mechanicsburg. (https://rollsroycefoundation.org/)
There will also be options for tour visits to the amazing Antique Automobile Club of America Museum in Hershey (https://www.aacamuseum.org/). One tour is planned for Saturday afternoon and a second tour is being offered Sunday morning.

The New Jersey Chapter of the BMW Car Club of America was established in 1970 and today has of over 3,000 members in New Jersey and the surrounding area. Our purpose is to provide services and organize events that benefit and interest our members. Our goal is to help you get the most enjoyment and satisfaction from BMW ownership, and to create a community where members can share their enthusiasm for these terrific cars.
The Chapter holds a monthly meeting for members that often consist of technical presentations and demonstrations. Our social events are well know as fun, family affairs and offer a great opportunity for members and their families to meet and mingle.
Since we are a car club, we place a lot of emphasis on the safe, proper operation of the automobile. We offer several “behind-the-wheel” activities in a learning environment that are designed to improve your driving skills. These consist of our Street Survival program for teens, Autocross events and our highly regarded Driver School program.
Since this is a BMW car club, we also organize competitive events that explore the limits of these awesome cars. We hold regular timed Autocross events and sponsor several Club Races throughout the season.
If you, like most car nuts, can’t resist modifying, improving and maintaining your prized BMW’s, the club has a terrific collection of resources for you. The scope and depth of knowledge among our membership almost guarantees that you’ll find an expert who will gladly offer advice on any detail, and the club maintains a technical library and toolbox for your use.
This club exists for you, the membership, and is run by active members. What we do as a club is determined by you so, if you would like to see other activities, or additional services offered, please bring these suggestions forward.
So, join the club, come to a meeting, and meet your fellow members. We are sure that you will make new friends who share your interests – and passion – for these great cars!
