Is it worth it to be in the car club?

Dark_Knight_335 · 06-09-2012, 07:37 AM

Absolutely! Discounts on things, events, rubbing elbows and networking - making great BMW friends for life- what's not to love?

Been a member for nearly 7 years and I don't nearly take as full advantage of my membership as I should!

fireline43 · 06-09-2012, 09:25 AM

hmm, ok. Has anyone used stealthauto to buy parts? members get a 10% discount there

I just want the cool decal. Lol. Do members still get it regardless of what membership package?

Dark_Knight_335 · 06-09-2012, 10:19 AM

I think so - I have a few decals somewhere I think- and some stickers too- want em? I'm not far from you

Blubaron79 · 06-09-2012, 10:50 AM

Don't you get a discount on your next BMW purchase?

DO you have the NJCCA one?

jphughan · 06-09-2012, 10:59 AM

Absolutely. It's like $40/year, and for that as people said you get discounts, invitations to chapter events, and of course the subscription to Roundel, which IMHO is worth the price of admission all on its own. And after you've been a member for a full year, you can get anywhere from $500-1500 off the price of a new or pre-owned BMW, in which case the membership will have paid for itself many times over.

The people and events of my local BMWCCA chapter have turned out to be one of the best (and definitely most unexpected) perks of BMW ownership.

Yes - after you have been a member for at least one year. But it's not a discount, it is a rebate from BMW.

My dealer gives a 10% parts discount as does my local tire shop. And the monthly Roundel is worth the annual fee, even if you don't take advantage of the other perks.

I'll check. Gotta find em first

PKizzle · 06-09-2012, 11:08 AM

Absolutely! Have been a member for 10+ years and will continue to be as long there is a Bimmer in my garage. You more than make up for the membership cost through the dealer service/parts discounts, new car purchases, trip breakdown reimbursement etc., And the monthly Roundel club magazine is great as well.

Well worth it!

gatoman39 · 06-11-2012, 07:52 PM

its worth it just for the magazine and to hear Mike Miller pontificate.

Dark_Knight_335 · 06-11-2012, 08:23 PM

So is OP a member of the BMWCCA family yet?

m3boarder · 06-11-2012, 08:31 PM

100% yes! Roundel is a great magazine, I look forward to it every month. Not to mention, a lot of fun driving schools, auto-x's, and meet and greets at cool/interesting venues. Best deal in town for only 48 bucks per year.

Yes I am lol. Got my first roundel and my sticker. I was upset that the first local meet that was planned is during a time I cant go though!

RoundelM3 · 06-12-2012, 07:20 AM

Been a member 11 years now...I've received the "rebate" for 3 BMWs that were either purchased new, CPO, or in the case of my wife's car, leased. Our local dealer gives BMWCCA members a 20% discount on parts and labor, and our chapter has events once a month. Having fellow members nearby to help out with car projects and socializing has been great. I highly recommend joining.

Welcome brother! You will enjoy it I am certain!

kdbryce · 06-12-2012, 09:00 AM

I'm about to join actually.

I just got new plates for my car (the new yellow NY ones) and i'm not a fan of how the color looks against the LMB. I went to the dmv website and i guess you can get a BMWCCA NY plate.

i wanna join just so i don't feel wrong about getting the plate lol

and it will obviously be cool to be a member regardless

BMW335icoupe · 06-12-2012, 09:33 AM

What places offer discounts to members on parts.

gary88 · 06-12-2012, 10:54 AM

Absolutely. Been a member for 1.5 years now.

dcat151 · 06-12-2012, 11:19 AM

Yep. I've been around 3 years now. The discounts are helpful and Roundel is great.
