Most dealers offer discounts on parts to members, but with a newer BMW under warranty there's not much benefit right now.

The cash back on your next BMW purchase is a great offer.

Roundel magazine alone is worth the price of admission!

also, invites on raffles and to local chapter events


but the cash back on your next bmw purchase is a huge factor IMO...just need to be a member for 1 year to qualify....

I'm looking forward to that $1K check when I get my next e60


do itttt

As others have said Roundel alone is worth more than the membership fee, and the rebates are just the icing on the cake.

The BMWCCA is one of the best out there. I'm also a member of the Porsche Club of America and I think the BMW CCA has it beat (Roundel is much better than the PCA Panorama magazine).

roundel sucks IMO, unless your 60 years old. seems like it is a magaize written by total nerds. i am suprised it isnt full of geritol and depends adds. i havent even gone to the BMW CCA meets because the pictures on the chapter website look like it is a nursing home field trip. i think the best/only benifit is the rebate when buying a new car.

That may very well be why so many of us do like it

Seriously, I personally think Roundel stacks up incredibly well against the best of the regular auto magazines. It's a true enthusiast publication, written by enthusiasts for enthusiasts.

without a doubt you can tell the contributors are passionate about BMW, more so then most other publications available in the magazine isle or the bookshelves.

$2K in rebates returned here on a ~ $35/year 6 year investment ~ $500. Not including the couple hundred of discounts for parts and service along the way. Gotta luv the free market.

I would like to thank (most of you) for the comments about the Roundel and point out I?m nowhere near 60.

It is true that many of the board members and writers are closer to 60 than I am, but they still put most other car mags to shame.
