The BMW Club is the only officially recognised BMW motorcycle club in the British Isles and The Republic of Ireland. It has been in existence since 1951 and currently has a membership of around 6000, not only from all over the British Isles but also Europe and the USA. The BMW Club is affiliated to The BMF and maintains links with BMW AG, BMW (UK) Ltd, other BMW clubs around the world, and The International Council of BMW Clubs. It is totally self-financing and is completely manufacturer independent.

The BMW Club is organised into 15 Regional Sections plus one HQ/Overseas section. Each section is administered by a section committee drawn from its regional members.

The Scottish Section was created over 25 years ago and currently has over 400 members. It has a reputation for organising excellent camping events with good 'craic'. The Longest Day Rally in June and Glen Coe Rally in October are the most popular on the Calendar.

In recent years the Lochearnhead Bunkhouse Weekends in January and May have become an established part of the Calendar. The converted station buildings provide a focal point for exchanging gossip in front of a real log fire.
