Anyone been able to get the 2% BMW Club discount in Canada?
Filed the application form with my local club today, but Unfortunately it got turned down. Not all M models are excluded from the discount, but I'm told the M2 Comp is being treated like the M2, and they're saying it's Limited inventories...

There was only one person to get the M2 covered, and that was only because the guy that was in charge of the program nationally, wasn't aware that it wasn't covered, initially.
I know this because I was at the BMW Club national meeting when it was in Saskatchewan, and heard it directly from the guy in charge of the program. Our club president tells me that they are working on getting it taken off of the "not covered" list, but they are waiting to hear back from BMW Canada. He also said that they just put the M5 on the "not covered" list.

Waiting a few more weeks to place an order would be tough, but not if it means I'd save $1400! |

From previous experience, one must have the application in place, ratified by your BMW Club president, and OK'd by BMW Canada, PRIOR to having your order finalized. We had to jump through a pile of hoops to get coverage, when my wife bought her X6M, because we had already placed the order! Good luck - hope you (and the rest of us!) can get it covered!!!

Technically possible, but I think it was a lot of "don't tell anyone about this" (Oops lol) I am on my way to the dealer to spec mine out, RIGHT NOW, haha Only potential snag is the CF roof. If it's not available until November, then that will be an issue! Good luck with yours!

I got shot down, too
BMW Club of Canada is working on getting it reversed, but I am virtually 100% sure that their efforts will not result in a positive outcome for us I will continue to try, but I am thinking it's a no go. Boooo, BMW Canada, booooo. If anything, the M models are the ones that you SHOULD be covering - you should be looking after the true enthusiasts, rather than pandering to the guys and girls that own a BMW because it gets them from A to B. The enthusiasts are who will be promoting your marque, and it is only right to reward them for doing so!

I JUST heard from our club president, who is the VP for automobiles for BMW Club Canada. Good news - the M2 has been taken off the banned list Bad news - the M2 Competition remains on the list.

WTF? How does that even make sense? The M2 has been discontinued. So that's a moot point. If the M2 Comp is replacing the M2, and the M2 is now off the list, logic should follow that it now should be allowed.

I see the buggers updated their site, and now it's official. We're not getting the discount on the new M2 Competition. But they're offering it on the discontinued M2! WTF?
"Due to limited import inventories, BMW M2 Competition, M4GTS, M5 and M5 Competition vehicles are not eligible for this reward program at this time. The M2 is eligible" |
