Never Forget the Benefits
There are many benefits for joining the BMW Car Club of America, as well as our
Choo-Choo Bimmers chapter. We have the membership reward rebate on select
new and CPO BMWs, parts at employee pricing at BMW of Chattanooga and the
Roundel magazine every month just as a few examples. There’s one benefit I don’t
hear members mention very often – the Technical Service Advisors, or TSA. This
group of technicians can help you with any service or maintenance issue that can
crop up on BMWs of any vintage. Talk about a benefit that outweighs cost of
membership! This service is a great help to any do-it-yourselfer or someone wanting
to solve an issue a local repair shop may not be able to diagnose. Can you believe
something like this is free as part of your membership dues? Wow! Now, that’s a
benefit worth remembering.

Editor’s Note:
Once again all my fun time and work have put me behind in my
obligations to the club, I apologize.
I would like to encourage everyone to help me with our newsletter,
feel free to contribute your own musings or send me interesting
articles that you have run across. (Word or PDF preferred formats)
It would be greatly appreciated.
Just a reminder to all, if you have not heard from us recently we DO NOT
have a current email address for you. CCA has instructed us to send only to
email in the file they send to us and if it is not current you will never hear
from us. Even though we would love to do it, we cannot change this for you,
you must login at BMWCCA.org and change your preferences yourself. If
you have never logged in instructions are there for starting a new login with
your membership number.
