The BMW Driver's Club of South Australia, has been in existence since 1983. The idea was born when a member from BMW Club NSW was in Adelaide and met with five BMW fanatics who were either current members of the New South Wales or Victorian BMW Clubs and had contacted the secretary of the NSW Club to see what needed to be done to form a Club for South Australian enthusiasts.

At that time there were BMW car clubs in New South Wales, Victoria and Western Australia - as these clubs were interstate they were unfamiliar with places to go in South Australia to find parts or information for items requiring restoration or repair.

From it's original roots, when BMW enthusiasts sought the names of locals who were owners of BMW's (but members of interstate clubs) to gather in the the Motor Trades Hall on Greenhill Road, Adelaide, the BMW Drivers' Club of Australia (SA Chapter) began.

The Advertiser Newspaper gave the Club some free advertising in the Motoring Section and approximately twenty-five people gathered together to launch the South Australian Chapter.

First official meeting was advertised in the "Advertiser" Motoring Club Notes on Wednesday the 16th May 1984 and was held at the North Adelaide Hotel.

A Sunday outing for the Club was a drive to the Strathalbyn district, only to find the local pub closed!

On the 25th February 1986 the Club was incorporated and then on the 18th September 1995, changed its' name to the BMW Drivers' Club of South Australia Incorporated.

An Adelaide identity who had a passion for the marque was selected to be Patron and has remained in this position since the Clubs' inception. He most kindly donated a pair of silver candle-sticks which remain in circulation and are presented to the winner of the annual Concours D'Elegance.
