Car Forum / BMW Cars / December 2007BMW Magazine / Roundel = one and the same???
I recently subscribed to BMW roadside assistance in Canada. They gave me a package deal, which included a 1-year subscription to "the magazine" (I forget the name that they told me). I expected "Roundel" to arrive, but what I received was "BMW Magazine". So has Roundel changed its name to BMW Magazine, or are they 2 completely different magazines? Thanks for any info.  SignaturePosted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com BMW Magazine comes from BMW and it's a quarterly publication. Roundel is a monthly and is published by the BMW Car Club of America (BMWCCA). www.bmwcca.org/ >I recently subscribed to BMW roadside assistance in Canada.

BMW Magazine is propaganda from BMW, I believe. Roundel is published by the BMW Car Club of America. I don't know if it's available in Canada since there is also a BMW Car Club of Canada which is a different organization. The club is well worth joining if only for the parts discount. --scott Signature"C'est un Nagra. C'est suisse, et tres, tres precis." Thanks. I sent an email asking for Roundel or a refund. It was about $50 for a year - which would be 4 mags! They did send me the last 2 as well, but Roundel is what I wanted, and what I expect. We'll see what happens. >>I recently subscribed to BMW roadside assistance in Canada.

Well, that's kinda' dumb. BMW doesn't publish ROUNDEL. > They did send me the last 2 as well, but Roundel is what I wanted, and what > I expect. > We'll see what happens. Tell you what, Choam. Go to www.bmwcca.org and join up. Tell 'em I sent you. You get *three times as many* magazines (plus a chapter newsletter!) for even less money. To make the deal even better, after you've been a member for a year (IIRC), you can get a $1000 or more discount on a new BMW purchase. If your sights aren't quite that high, I find that simply using the 15% Sprint discount offered to club members more than pays for my membership. Then, there are all the friends I've made over the last 22 years ... -- C.R. Krieger BMW CCA #53302 >> I sent an email asking for Roundel or a refund. > [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > C.R. Krieger > BMW CCA #53302 Actually it's now $500 for 3's and Z's; $1,000 for 5's and 6's; and $1,500 for 7's. Surprisingly, CPO's ($500) are included too. I didn't know that. >Actually it's now $500 for 3's and Z's; $1,000 for 5's and 6's; and $1,500 >for 7's. I didn't know it had dropped. I just bought a new M Coupe this week, too. Ah, well, it's better than nothing. epbrown -- How can you know where I'm at if you haven't been where I been? Can you see where I'm coming from?

So you could actually get a BMW rebate of $1,000 on the "lowly" 3 series at one time? Somehow, I don't think that getting back $500 less than you had hoped will dampen your enthusiasm for your new M Coupe - enjoy!

Yes! :) epbrown -- How can you know where I'm at if you haven't been where I been? Can you see where I'm coming from?

I will join and get Roundel, I already found the link, but thanks >> I sent an email asking for Roundel or a refund. > [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > C.R.
