Are you a BMWCCA member?

stressdoc · 06-06-2006, 11:01 AM

Just curious, please post reasons for joining versus procrastination.

F32Fleet · 06-06-2006, 11:01 AM

Yes. Good reading, and you save $$ on parts/purchase of new car.

dbstang · 06-06-2006, 11:36 AM

Joined right after I bought the new car.!!!

noflash · 06-06-2006, 11:37 AM

It's worth it for Roundel alone.

FrankoQ · 06-06-2006, 02:04 PM

Joined about 2 years ago to get the $500 check for the 330
and up to 20% discount on parts on some dealers.

Optlabguy · 06-06-2006, 03:39 PM

Joined after I got my first BMW a 94 325i. Being I lease my cars, it's worth every penny of the $40. Every 3 yrs or so, I get a check for 500 bucks.

Total of 2000 bucks so far. Comes in handy now that we have run-flats.

Worth the price for the Roundel alone...real nice mag.

shimshimhada · 06-06-2006, 03:56 PM

So, people keep saying it's worth it for Roundel alone, but after a couple of months (prior to today I said that too), I don't really even read the articles. I look at the pretty pictures sometimes, but most of the news is old stuff.

I enjoy reading through the classifieds though. The CCA is more about events, and I haven't been to one yet.

Hope you liked all of my pretty pictures in recent issues.

I never look up who takes the pictures.

SocalTy · 06-06-2006, 04:02 PM

So do I get a check from them after I sign up?

Nope - gotta be a member for a year before any purchase qualifies you for a rebate. Maybe for your NEXT bimmer

SocalTy · 06-06-2006, 04:18 PM

Doh! Will keep that in mind for the future then. Thanks bartstow

LEDZEP · 06-06-2006, 04:21 PM

I voted "long time", but it's only been a year. I joined when I bought my E90, but before I discovered this forum. Just renewed. It's worth the annual membership just to read Jonathan Spira's articles! Everything else is bonus.

Oz · 06-06-2006, 04:37 PM

I plan to become a member sometime this year.

Great. Since we're having a membership drive, join now and I get a brownie point if you use my membership number (36024) as referrer.

Just go to the CCA web site and sign up

(The brownie point is an extra raffle drawing I believe)

How many referral points do you have?

21! I think I might have one

Or, if you don't like jspira (he is mean and rotten after all), you can use me as a referral: 351756

Just kidding Jonathan, but all's fair in love and referrals.

Mr. BMW · 06-06-2006, 07:58 PM

I joined back in 96 when I got my first BMW. I got $500 for my E46 330 and $1000 when I bought the X5 and I'm looking forward to the $500 that I should be getting any day now for this car

But I have a five digit number, 36024
- much easier for a new member to type in.

stressdoc · 06-06-2006, 08:27 PM

I knew I should have kept up my original membership. Somehow it didn't seem right after I sold the 2002tii and bought an old Datsun 510 wagon. And then I had issues when BMWs became yuppiemobiles. Just saw a VW ad, claiming lowest ego emissions. Yeah, right.
Besides, they don't have to type any number in with my system, just click the link and go.
