Welcome to the Four Winds BMW Riders club, founded in the early 60's by a small group of BMW enthusiasts in western PA. The first Four Winds Rally was held in 1967. We host the longest consecutively running BMW rally in the country, predating the existence of any national BMW club. We're located in the Pittsburgh metro area and enjoy excellent riding here and in Ohio, West Virginia and Maryland.
