I’ve been in the CCA for 37 years (w a 3 year hiatus). I couldn’t agree more that the club’s single minded focus on new BMWs provides little motivation to stay.
But we all know the devotion to the new cars is a major factor in the club’s success. None of the other foreign car clubs I belong to have the same level of advertising (eg financial support), OEM support, or are able to put on the same number and level of major events.
Like many of you my DD is a BMW so there is a tiny bit of value from the rebates, articles, adverts, etc. the writing isn’t half bad either in comparison to the more excellent oMotor Trend magazine ;-) The yearly fee is outrageously high but still dirt cheap compared to other clubs which charge $60, $80, $100, etc for a years membership).
I think I still belong only because the CCA is a gold mine of ideas for how the other clubs I belong to could/should do it better. When I’ve served as a board member of those other clubs I regularly used CCA as inspiration for everything from sponsoring club memberships on new car sales to fund raising to improving dealer relations.
FWIW, I think the Mercedes club mag does a nice job balancing the old C&S new. The content is about 50/50.
