Name & Title: James Clay, Founder & President
Started at BimmerWorld in: 1997
Favorite BMW: The one I am driving!
Currently Owned BMWs: E36 Wagon with S62-swap, E46 M3, E92 M3
Dream Car Project: Constantly changing - I'd love to see a big V8 in a slammed 2002
Favorite Race Track: Nürburgring Nordschleife, Mosport, VIR, Road America - they're all pretty awesome, and my list is longer but these deserve special mention
Best Moment at BimmerWorld: I love what I do almost every day here. It's been a 25+ year journey with a lot of highs, but walking in every morning knowing I'm doing what I want to is a great feeling.
Before BimmerWorld: I tried to scrape together enough money to build and race BMWs
Hobbies: Outside of cars, racetracks, and BMWs - grilling/cooking, jet skiing (stand-ups only please...), and hanging out with dogs
