The official BMW Car Club GB celebrates it’s 60th anniversary in 2012. The Club, which provides products services and events which enhance the enjoyment, value and experience members achieve from the their cars, are planning a number of events to help celebrate this landmark achievement.

One such event will be the first UK Z-Fest. The Club will be holding an event for 500 Zeds at Silverstone Classic 20 – 22 July, with the main gathering on Saturday 21st July. Zed specialists and other attractions will be on hand, but the highlight of the day will be a parade lap of the GP circuit for all the assembled Zeds.

Club members and non members, in fact drivers of any BMW are welcome to join the Club on their display in the infield, but this year we wanted to do something special to mark our anniversary.

There are approaching 50,000 Zeds registered in the UK. At the Z Fest all Zed models will be on display; from the rare and collectable Z1, produced from 1988 to 1991 of which there are 114 registered in the UK, the classic styled Z3 which was produced from 1996 to 2002 which is still a common sight on the roads with 21,000 still on DVLA’s books. Of course the Z4 will feature too. Production of these began in 2003 and continues today with approaching 30,000 being registered in the UK. The iconic and James Bond featured Z8 will also make an appearance. There are just 99 of these 1999 to 2003 cars registered in the UK.

Club members and specialist forums are already backing the event and planning a number of cruises and convoys to the Silverstone circuit. This really is going to be something special and THE event for Z enthusiasts both in the UK and on the continent.

That's the one!

Yes its a must for a zed 4 owner.

Nothing is planned by way of an "M Fest", although each year the National Festival has an overall theme, last year we celebrated 25 years of the M3, this year it's the 60th birthday of the club.

Not sure what you are after, the "what's on" detail for the clubs is here:

Unless it's something else you were after?

That is correct, the discount code (not sure if it is still valid now) was allocated to the club, the expectation being that we would pass it on to club members, we of course want you come and join us on the stand even if you are a non member in the hope that you might join!

I believe that discounted tickets are still for sale but the buy-one-get-one-free has now passed.

Hope this helps.

It was a fantastic weekend, just shy of 300 Z's for the parade lap (would have been over but they ran out of time/track and so stopped a few from joining!
