About this event
Join us at our Drive & Dine on Saturday, May 2, 2026, at the brand-new, state-of-the-art BMW of Ann Arbor. Dinner will be provided by award-winning chef Eve Aranoff’s Frita Batidos restaurant, an Ann Arbor treasure.
The event will start with a drive through some of our favorite backroads west of Ann Arbor. Join us as we depart from Chelsea High School to experience driving Car & Driver’s 10 Best loop, followed by a scenic tour on Huron River Drive as we make our way to the incredible new facility that BMW of Ann Arbor now calls home.
If you’re not available to take part in the drive, no problem! Doors open at the dealership at 5:30pm. Grab your favorite drink from the bar as you and your fellow enthusiasts take in the sights of the new building with the special cars residing in the showroom, the smells of the delicious dinner to come, and the sounds of high-quality audio provided by Overture Audio. After everyone takes their seat, Phil Dixon of Dixon Motorsports will speak to the club about how he and his team are able to transform F31 wagons into true enthusiast machines with OEM-level quality. Frita Batidos will once again be providing fantastic Cuban inspired street food that never disappoints. As you’re enjoying some mini churros for dessert, our very own Anthony Magagnoli will update the group about his race with Saba Motorsports in Peru sponsored by BMW of Ann Arbor.
BMW of Ann Arbor and the Motor City Chapter are again subsidizing the costs of the dinner, so the cost to you is just $25 per person. BMW CCA requires that we limit attendance at the dinner to BMW CCA members and their guests, so be sure to add your member number during registration (you can add guests to your registration so long as the member buys the admission). We must limit attendance to 80 members and guests, so be sure to sign up as soon as you can.
