BMW CCA

MrSilver · 09-15-2006, 12:43 PM

Was thinking about joining.

Pros?

Cons?

Thanks in advance.

ToddPhilly · 09-15-2006, 12:51 PM

Absolutely. $500 - $1000 rebate when you buy a new BMW. Very good Roundel magazine. Discounts at BMW vendors. Admission to driving events / driving schools. I can't think of any cons.

kuthair · 09-15-2006, 12:56 PM

how much is it?

sdbcerda · 09-15-2006, 12:59 PM

I think it is a good deal at only $40 per month. They have one of the best club magazines and local chapters are active (at least mine is).

It's not $40 a month. It's like $40 for the year.

a great deal for all that you get.

urnuts · 09-15-2006, 01:18 PM

The mag alone is worth it- not a member now, but I was years back.

TrackJunkie · 09-15-2006, 01:24 PM

Great magazine, good discounts and Motor City Chapter is also very active. Web site for members is also good with technical help if you need it. Octoberfest 2005 was great. Join Now!

hkj · 09-15-2006, 01:26 PM

It's absolutely worth it.

For about $45 a year, you get:

Roundel magazine (excellent monthly magazine on BMW by BMW enthusiasts)
10-15% parts discount at participating dealerships. This can be quite a bit saving if you buy OEM parts (e.g. rear spoiler, M-sport kits)
BMW CCA Driving schools - excellent way to learn the art of high performance driving
Local chapter newsletters and chance to meet other BMW enthusiasts
discounts on your next BMW

All that for ~$45/year it's really a steal.

BMWCCA is one big factor that caused me pick up a bimmer. You just can't get things like this with Infiniti or Lexus.

The Roundel each month is worth the $40 a year.

Roundel is great! Great bathroom material!

Hankdoll · 09-15-2006, 01:46 PM

Worth it. I got a $1,000 rebate on my M3 & $500 for my 330. That equates to 40 years of free membership...and there's many more cars / rebates to come.

e46e90 · 09-15-2006, 01:55 PM

Welcome to the club! It's an unbelievable deal! Discount on service and/or parts at BMW Centers, rebate on new BMW vehicle purchase after being a member for 1 year (I got a $500 rebate on my E90), and great magazine, club activities, and more! My mom is now driving my E46 and she just joined to get these benefits as well!

Rebate for a 3 series (the M3 is a 3er) is $500, regardless of which model, based on the form
