2025 BMW Gathering at the PVGP
All BMW years and models are welcome to the weekend events. Registration includes weekend parking in the Car Corral, access to the BMW Tent, a PVGP Race Program, and a decal. You do not have to be a member of the BMW CCA to participate in the activities in Schenley Park, but we highly recommend you join this entertaining club.
2025 Events
• Covered Bridge Tour - Friday, July 18 Registration for the Friday drive covers the cost of lunch at the Century Inn. Cost is $45 per person. When you register please select turkey & cranberry club or chicken salad on croissant. Tour route details to follow.
• Welcome Reception with Rob Siegel “The Hack Mechanic” - Friday, July 18. Rob has written the monthly column The Hack Mechanic™ for Roundel, the magazine of The BMW Car Club of America, for 35 years. In addition, online Hack Mechanic columns appear weekly on Hagerty’s and BMW CCA’s websites. Rob has also written for Road & Track, Sports Car Market, Forbes, and Bimmer, and is the author of eight automotive-related books, including The New York Times-reviewed Memoirs of a Hack Mechanic. Given his druthers, he’d rather be a full-time performing songwriter, but damn the cars sure are a lot of fun.
2025 Schenley Park Race Weekend - July 19-20
The BMW tent on German Hill is the perfect place to park your BMW, watch the races, and socialize with other BMW enthusiasts. This summer, we feature the 3 Series: E21s, E30s, and SAVs. The tent is a popular spot to watch the cars climbing the hill and negotiating the hairpin turn 13. The racing format has changed with the closing of the Panther Hollow Bridge - the PVGP is introducing a Hillclimb that will feature many of the vintage cars you typically see, along with some big fast cars not eligible before. Your registration has the option for lunch each day.
- Weekend Car Corral and lunch for one person Saturday and Sunday - $140
- Saturday Car Corral and lunch for one person - $95
- Sunday Car Corral and lunch for one person - $95
- Weekend Car Corral and no lunch - $75
- Additional lunches per person/day - $35
