Hell no.
I very much enjoyed the BMW CCA before I moved to the west coast. However, the group out here was no fun what so ever to drive with.
I went to one BMW even back in 06 at thill. They asked me to slow down because I was catching the other students too quickly. A few weeks later I put a stopwatch on the video to see about how quick my "excessive speed" was. It was a smoking 2:21. Think about that, 17s of a good lap for the car was considered driving too fast at a BMW CCA event.
In 2 days I never had a lap where I wasn't stuck behind someone for at least half the lap. It just wasn't fun. The other things that irritated me is their "instructors know everything" attitude, even when they are giving you completly wrong advice. Like:
Ins: take the wide line in 2.
Me: But this isn't a BMW
Ins: The line is the same for all cars
Now, their autocross program is great
