Any BMW Car Club members out there?

Not all BMW dealerships honor BMW CCA members with discounts and not all sell to us at MSRP minus the discount. Some mark up parts above MSRP and discount from the higher price. They are independent businesses and make their own decisions about pricing, discounts, etc.

Some dealers are very supportive of the CCA, providing prizes for club events, tech sessions, open houses, etc., etc. These dealers recognize that the CCA is the largest single marque car club in the world and that active members tend to bring them business.

Lifetime - $760 (19yrs @ $40 per)

Let me tell you people a secret, having that card doesn't give you a discount. i may tell you your getting one but not give you one... know what i mean? If you come in and say you get a discount because you belong to the bmw car club the guy behind may give you list price. or give you fulblown price and you wouldn't know it. You get a better price if you ask nicely and your cool and nice to the counter guy. As far as being a member, I am and would tell everyone i know with a bimmer to join because it has it's plus side.
