Is this true.... BMWCCA

[Dekion]

When I bought my BMW, the sales person said to check out BMWCCA and try joining it. The cost is $35/year and it seems you get alot for your membership dues. Especially if you partake in some of the activities they have.

Anyhow, as I was browsing their site, I noticed that they are giving $500 for folks who own 3 series cars and $1500 for people owning 7 series vehicles. It's for anyone who just bought a Bimmer after 1/1/03. I'm like whoa, a free $500 paycheck. How in the heck can they do that????[???1]

Well, I'm going to send them my info and get hooked up.

I'd recommend other new BMW owners to check them out. Perhaps claim your money as well. Just seems like it's too good to be true. Hmm, I deposit $35.00 and get $500.00 back with a year subscription to Roundel. Not a bad investment.

I just visited the BMWCCA site and it looks like this is true!!!

Look at http://www.bmwcca.org/PDFs/Form-MembershipRewardCheckRequest.pdf

This is amazing if all you have to do is become a member to receive the cash.

As far as I can tell, all you have to do is make your request within 60 days of delivery and send some other info.

Thanks for finding this.

If I read it correctly, you had to be a member of BMW CCA for at least a year preceding the purchase of the vehicle. Or am I wrong? [???1]

hmm

Ack, I think you're right.....

I wish I was aware of this last year. That is a good return on a years membership fee.

You must be a member of the club for one year before the purchase, that is true. However for your $35.00 you get the club magazine, Roundel, a very professional mag, with tons of information. You also get many discounts at many BMW dealers, or other BMW repair facilities. You will also get a chapter newsletter. It is $35.00 well spent. I have been a member for more than nine years.

But how can you be a member for one year if you don't even own a BMW? I believe Akakubi linked me to this web site because I was interested in participating in the events. But I think you need to be a BMW owner to enroll...how gay.

 

[Big Daddy]

No you do NOT have to own a BMW to be a member! And besides, if you are a member and then buy a new car you benefit. Isn't that what a club is there for, to benefit its members? I would not call that "gay".

 

[MrElussive]

I'll consider it, but I probably won't bother. Imagine me showing up for a BMWCCA event in a Japanese machine (designed to compete with BMW)? I'm sure everyone will love me..............

We had many members between cars and driving non-BMW autos. We had one in a Subaru and one in a Chrysler. Many remain after selling their BMW's for the magazine, social aspect, and a fair rebate should they buy a new BMW later.
