BMW CCA – Sandlapper Chapter

Aiken Region

Aiken is noted in `Southern Living” as the “best small town in the South.” This southern town is a major racehorse training area and hosts world-class equestrian events and festivals. It’s known as the “Polo Capital of the World” and “The Winter Colony”. 

Aiken shares car club membership with Augusta Ga and the surrounding area.

The Aiken region will incorporate events showcasing the city and its cultural flair, such as the Polo events sponsored by Taylor BMW in Augusta, GA, and drives through the city with its scenic views. We welcome suggestions from CCA members to make this an exhilarating experience.

Vincent has been a car club member for 37 years. His first BMW was a 1986 325e, which he owned for 29 years. He bought it with 9,000 miles on it, and by the end, it had over 360,000 miles showing on the odometer. The odometer was inoperative for over a year and a half, so it probably had over 400,000 miles in total. He began doing most of the work on the car with the help of fellow car club members. The car likely would have still been running if a tree hadn’t fallen on it in 2016, right at the A-pillar.

Vincent’s fascination with BMW started around 1980 when Ray Korman from Korman Autoworks in Greensboro, NC, took him for a ride in a 3 Series. The thrilling drive through curves left a lasting impression, and he was hooked from that moment. Since then, he has had the pleasure of owning over 14 different BMWs, including at least three M cars. His latest is a 2020 M5 Competition, which, in his opinion, truly embodies the Ultimate Driving Machine.
