Loyalty Discount?

[nevetS]

What is the discount that the factory gives you for owner loyalty? When I bought my 530, they said the only way they could give me a better price was with a factory discount available to previous owners. I remember it not being much, but any little bit helps.

hmm, I've never heard of that. Course, this is my first Bimmer.

BMW CCA has "Membership Reward Program" maybe that is what they are talking about. I too have never heard of a "owner loyalty" program.

Since when does BMW have owner loyalty programs... thats GM style, and they need it.

But I would bargain with them on the vehicle price; invoice up. Especially with the new 3.0 engine coming out this summer, I'd tell them "you better give me the BMWCCA (if you're a member) discount and a whole lot more or I'll take my business to another dealership." Sounds to me like you got a stubborn salesman/woman.

The CCA discount is in addition to any other negotiated discounts and is administered via BMW CCA and BMW NA. It has nothing to do with the dealership. There are rules and they can be viewed at the CCA website.

Wasn't it like $500 dollars Dan? This is the number that sticks out in my head....

The 330 is actually going for well under invoice in SoCal.

Yes, five series models is $1,000.00, but you have to have been a member 1 year prior to the purchase. FYI you do not have to own a BMW to join BMW CCA.

i dont' know how much it changed, but when i got my 3, it was $500, i think the x5 and 7ers were $1000, i can't remember the 5.

cca site has the pdf describing the loyalty rebate thing. i'm getting the adobe reader right now, so i guess i'll see.

edit: z, 3, m3 and x3 gets $500. 5, 6 and x5 gets a grand, and 7 gets $1500

I was refering to the 530i... but the 330 going for under invoice doesn't surprise me at all. Just last June I picked up mine at invoice price not to mention I ditched the 325i lease from hell as a bonus. If anyone wants a 225hp e46 now is the time to get one at a bargain price.
