There is a monthly meet-up somewhere - not sure where it's held these days. I'm in Ballston/Arlington.

I'd go to one of these meets, but it means I'd have to wash my car, and I'm just too lazy for that.

With all the rain and pollen as of late, keeping the car clean is quite the challenge. Especially if you park outside.

Being this is my first BMW the idea of taking it to the track does sound exciting and makes me nervous at the same time. This past Sunday a buddy told me about Summit Point in WV and they have a FATT (Friday at the Track) program for novice and higher drivers at the track for $250

Hey guys. There's a big DC metro area bmw group that has multiple meetups all through out the week. There are a few 1 series there (mine included) but it's a pretty cool group of car people.

As far as doing track days. FATT is overpriced. There are better/cheaper groups to run with at Summit. I've run with just about all of them. I'm doing a weekend at Summit the weekend after 4th of July if anybody is interested. If you want more info about the dc metro area bmw group and such send me a PM.
