Howdy All, we bought a beautiful little Jet Black 325i from an owner who had put on 2900 mi. since taking deliv. in Dec. 05. I have not joined the "Owners Circle" on the BMW site or maybe I'd know this............how would I go about getting a list of the features, packages, etc. for my car based on VIN no.? Can I do that through the Owner's Circle? Many thanks. Wonderful site!!
Edit.........naming this "first post" wasn't very informative! Sorry.

If you give your VIN to your BMW dealer, they should tell you what features you have on your vehicle. Welcome to the board, and good luck with your e90!

Oz · 06-14-2006, 05:55 PM

Congrats on your purchase but I have on question. Did you buy the vehicle without knowing what packages it has or you just want the full list?

Like Nikki said, go to your dealer and they should help you out. Welcome to the forum!

Welcome to E90post. Forget about the Owners Circle - join the BMW Car Club of America! You can join at http://www.bmwcca.org - if you want, please use my membership number as referrer (36024). Included in your membership you get a subscription to the Roundel magazine (12 issues), you get a membership reward of between $500-$1500 on your next BMW (direct from BMW - a check!), local and national club activities, and other things I probably can't think of right now.

I've never joined either, the discount for purchase and lease, my salesguy told me to sign up for discount later, on my next car? The site does not mention anything about money returned for next purchase. How do they figure out the amount? Thanks for any info, I may join for the magazine and the discount on my next purchase/lease. How long do you have to be a member before this applies? Thanks.

We bought it from a very knowlegeable owner who told us what pkg.s were on it. Some of this may be redundant.....has Premium and Coldweather pkg., idrive, navigation, sunroof, rain sensor, no Xenon lights and so on. Anyway, I guess I thought I might be able to put in the VIN somewhere and print out a nice little complete list so that I know I'm not failing to use some neat feature! Thanks for the info. and the welcome everybody.

You have to be a member for 1 year. The site needs a redesign but it may be under member benefits or something like that.

I have gotten checks multiple times, they range from $500 to $1500 based on what car you get. You get the full check for both a lease deal or purchase.

Great return for $40 investment p.a.

If you join, please list me as referrer - membership no. 36024.

Cool, I will do that, so when my lease is up, BMW sends me a check automatically?

No, you have to buy/ lease another one to get the rebate check.
