One of the more material attractions of this club (for me anyway) was the promise of a discount on parts at main dealers. Although the club makes it clear that not all dealers participate, I have yet to speak to anyone who has successfully claimed a discount from a dealer.

Please post your successes and failures re Main Dealer discounts.

I'll start...

No discount from Menzies of Stirling.

Discount from Henry Brothers of Glasgow.

I was offered 10% discount on parts from Ocean BMW, Marsh Mills, Plymouth,

A friend was offered 10% on parts, but ONCE ONLY (i.e. they will only give a discount on the first part you buy), from Wellsway BMW, Bath

Update:- Scothall BMW Hampshire are getting even better, now give 10% discount on parts

Scothall BMW Hampshire (My favourite dealership) give 5% discount on most parts, special order bits don't always receive the discount.

Woods of Bournemouth, one guy gave 5% discount once, other parts guys don't, I still like Scothall's... parts open till 6:30 in the evenings too!, and they take parts orders over the phone.

Did I mention Scothall's receptionists ?...

Robert Stern, Evesham have always given me 10% discount when purchasing parts and accessories for my E32 7 series and E36 3 series.  They sometimes also give a special price when purchasing the more expensive accessories such as CD changer,etc.

I agree about STERN's - their parts personnel really are the most helpful I've met - and I've even managed to get 20% on a few occasions!

Unlike COTSWOLD in Cheltenham - don't like them much!

Almondbury in Huddersfield has one of our guys as the parts manager.. good service at trade prices.

Sandal in Wakefield always did me a better than normal deal on my servicing.

I have found that a lot of the bigger dealers concentrate on chasing the corporate buck and politely decline to offer a discount to the membership..

We have been spoilt up here by having several dealerships that are active club members.. but then again we have put a fair bit of work into recruiting them, involving them with visits and concours events and generally making them feel part of the club.

You reap what you sow.

Robert Sterns of Evesham are superb, always give a club discount and are just such nice friendly helpful people, and I only have an old E34, and no hope of buying a car from them.
The last time I went there I had my seven year old son with me, and they gave him a toy car !

Barons of Farnborough's policy is that discounts such as this are at the Parts Manager's discretion. Currently he says Yes.

I've had 10% discount on parts from Morrisons of Kirkcaldy.

Whereas Menzies of Stirling look at you in puzzlement - BMWCC and don't offer anything

 Damon Hill at Warwick give 25% Off labour on scheduled service on 4 year old +  cars, plus discounts off other items.Victoria in Milton Keynes 10 %. Hexagon in North London 10% Parts. Cotswold at Cheltenham and Hereford Member discounts.BMW GB,  Promote the Four Plus scheme within the Dealerships, so worth asking a dealer.
