BMW 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. -- Posted 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/ "Choam Nomsky" <kaos.kaptain AT gmail.com> wrote in message .. . >I recently subscribed to BMW roadside assistance in Canada.

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 -- "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. "Scott Dorsey" > wrote in message ... > Choam Nomsky <kaos.kaptain AT gmail.com> wrote: >>I recently subscribed to BMW roadside assistance in Canada.

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 |

They replied and said BMW Mag is a "courtesy" mag and I should never have
been charged... idiots. I will join and get Roundel, I already found the link, but thanks "E28 Guy(c)" > wrote in message ... > On Dec 2, 4:39 pm, "Choam Nomsky" <kaos.kaptain AT gmail.com> wrote: >> >> I sent an email asking for Roundel or a refund. > > Well, that's kinda' dumb.

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! Tom K. |
