Do you mean the BMWCCA? Membership is well worth it - you get a nice rebate check if you ever buy new or certified pre-owned. The magazine, Roundel, is great. Some of the events are great too .

+1 - if it's BMWCCA it is well worth it. I like Roundel, and the benefits from being a member are cool too - discounts, rebates, events, track days.

The BMW CCA is indeed one of the very best clubs out there. I highly recommend joining. Personally, I think Roundel is worth the price of admission alone, not to mention the other benefits such as the rebates etc. I'd personally think twice about dropping $760 on the lifetime membership, I do mine annually and it's only around $40 or so.

+1. I'm not willing to go the full monty for $760, but $40 a year is reasonable. There are few things to which I will commit for life.

Retired: 2002 325I, Titanium silver on black leather. Premium package. Absolutely stock and proud of it.

Definitely worth it. I've received $1,000 back so far for two BMW purchases, but I would never commit to a lifetime membership. As much as we love our cars, one never knows if 10 years down the line they still make cars that fit our needs/wants. $40 a year is totally worth it for the magazine alone.

10+ year member and over $3000 back in rebates. That's not including discounts on parts and service over the years. Plus a great magazine and occasional club events. And after 10 years you get a pin

I only wish I had signed up sooner.

When I renewed last year I went with the 3 year membership ... Saved $8 and eliminated the possibility I'd forget my renewal.

Been a member for about 20 years ... enjoyed several rewards car purchase bonuses, discounts on parts and service, great magazine, and even won one of the raffles! I figure I'm way ahead of the game financially while meeting interesting people and driving great cars
