I phoned up Scothall Southampton on 3rd Jan 2006 asking if they gave discount. They asked ' Why should we give any discount to you?' I answered,' Because I bought the car ( a 116i sport) from you.' They replied that they would give me a price for any extras but no discount. So far I have found this company to be very business orientated , that is making money, to the detriment of pleasing the customer. They have an attitude problem! This is evident in the way they relate to the customer.Maybe I have been spoilt as my last car was a Lexus and they go out of their way to please and build up good customer relations.

Happy to report that the recent takeover of the former Altwood dealership by STRATSTONE in Taplow (and I believe Windsor) has resulted in them now offering a discount on parts on request...Not quite 10%...around 7.5% is what I got.

Sytners Chigwell and Harold Wood
I had a problem to start with, they failed to take the club into account when I complained they apologised, rectified the error offering me a cheque, a refund on my credit card or a credit note. ( I would have liked all 3 !) I chose the credit note, its in the post currently I believe the discount is 10%. |

So far no comment from Sytners Nottingham and Sytners Leicester. Wouldnt it be great if the club was to actually find out, agree with the dealer and publish the details of which dealers give what. Once one did it Iam pretty sure the rest would follow suit, especially where there is competition in local areas. Come on BMWCC, sort it out. Earn that membership fee! |

Offered the choice of FourPlus or BMWCC discount for parts at Dunedin Selkirk, FourPlus worked out cheaper, so they told me. Wasn't impressed with club discount when BMW Dealership can offer a bigger discount. I have been / am Very happy with the service at my dealership and get on really well with them all, very professional, efficient and will do go out of their way to assist you. Cool Note: Ask for a FourPlus price then get someone else to ask for the BMWCC Discount on the same part(s) note the difference! |

Four Plus is a labour discount. You should then be able to get a parts discount AS WELL using the BMWCC discount if the dealer honours the scheme.

Sytner - Loughton, Essex (Used to be Chigwell but have moved), do offer a discount and are always very helpful to me and dont request me to pay for parts until they have them in stock. |

The only dealer I had no luck whatsoever with was Eastern of Edinburgh.
All the other dealers I have used; Calterdon, Dunedin of Edinburgh and Soper of Lincoln have been very obliging. |

Haus Schmid in Elzach in Germany gave me 10% on parts which was nice of them. and my local dealer in west london (HR Owen Holland Park) always give me 10% and are very helpful people to boot (even if they did manage to spray hot coolant all over the cars interior, not once but twice!! - they did pay to sort the damage btw). |

That could be down to no one going in to contact DP at the dealer (Adopt a dealer) Not that the dealer discount would justify joining for only tho.

you yourself have tried to forge relationships with jc in the past; exactly what does "adopt a dealer" give them in return? both calterdon and john clark refuse to discount for car clubs Edited by stephenperry |

I'm surprised by stephenperry's comments about no main dealer discount - when i was in Inverness I had no bother with Calterdon.

Yes by the means of a letter,but you need to get in and get a meeting with DP.It`s been all explained in the magazine on a number of occasions
What`s in it for Dealer? Buisness It seems to work for the ones that have been adopted Returning customers

I bought two 3 series and 2 5 series all through them. david Barker was the man to deal with on parts, although I believe he is in another role as well.
Eastern in Edinburgh were disgusting the way they treated me. Sopers are still fantastic to deal with although some of their parts guys are younger than my car!!!! |

Stratstone in Chesterfield, Derbyshire really appreciate their relationship with the BMWCC and parts dept. (speak to Adrian) will help supply the parts if you are experiencing problems with your local dealer.
