BMW is making a rather surprising announcement in Japan by disclosing plans to create a club just for owners of certain high-end models. Tentatively called the \u201cExclusive Membership Club Community,\u201d it will become operational in the first quarter of next year. If you happen to have one of the lesser models, you\u2019re out of luck as only owners of the most expensive vehicles will be eligible to join the club.<\/p>\n

BMW Japan says the community will be limited to owners of the 7 Series \/ i7, X7, 8 Series, and the upcoming XM plug-in hybrid SUV<\/a>. We\u2019re being told members must meet \u201ccertain conditions,\u201d which implies there might be some other restrictions beyond the type of car eligible. This Exclusive Membership Club Community (provisional name) will be \u201coperated in a completely closed system,\u201d so it\u2019s bound to be an entirely private club.<\/p>\n

As far as perks are concerned, BMW Japan says owners will get to enjoy \u201cspecial experiences\u201d and attend a variety of events covering golf, art, and music. Test drive events are also planned for members of the club, and people will be invited whenever a new model is going to be launched in the Land of the Rising Sun.<\/p>\n

Japan was one of the first markets to get a special version of the G70, namely a First Edition<\/a> sold online, based on the gasoline-fueled 7 Series and fully electric i7. Customers had to pick from three versions: 740i Excellence, 740i M Sport, or an i7 xDrive60 Excellence, with each limited to 50 units. Last year, BMW also launched locally an X7 Nishijin Edition<\/a> to celebrate the namesake district in the country.<\/p>\n

It should be noted BMW Japan played an important role \u2013 along with Australia and the United Kingdom \u2013 in convincing the higher-ups from Munich to green light a right-hand-drive M3 Touring<\/a>. Speaking of high-performance cars, the M4 CSL was introduced in the country a couple of months ago and Japan got 25 cars<\/a> out of a global production run of 1,000 units.<\/p>\n
