BMW ACA at Kuni BMW with Guest Speaker Cindi Lux.
Kuni BMW proudly hosted the BMW ACA’s (Automobile Club of America) 2009 Holiday Meeting on Thursday, December 10th 2009 at Kuni BMW, 10999 SW Canyon Rd, Beaverton, OR.
Accomplished Motorsports star and personality Cindi Lux was the guest speaker. Ms. Lux shared her treasure-trove of stories and experiences.
The evening started with an informal wine tasting and mixer, followed by a tour of the Kuni BMW. Siraj Podikunju had his exceptional E30 M3 track car on our showroom for all to admire (pictured below).
It was a fantastic evening, full of great stories, information, and laughter.
The BMW ACA was started in 1971. It’s the only “independant” active BMW club in this area.
