Mail Order Discounts

     Greetings all, hope everyone had a good holiday-
     
     I've recently spent some time calling various Roundel advertisers for 
     goodies for our soon-to-be-acquired (but not soon enough :>) '95 325i, 
     due now in early Feb (eta California POE is January 24).  In 
     particular I have called:  The BMW Store (Ohio, 25% discount), Peter 
     Pan BMW (SF Bay Area), and Hendrick's BMW (southern US).  The BMW 
     Store had the best discounted BMW accessories, but they have to charge 
     sales taxes on all phone orders.  They had the lowest price for the CD 
     changer and factory security system.  All the rest were within dollars 
     if not cents of each other.  The biggest caveat that I have is that 
     the discount to CCA members is off of the "true" BMW list, while other 
     suppliers may and do use an inflated list to discount off.  So, its 
     not the percentage of the discount, but the delivered price that 
     really counts in finding your best value out there.  Just my 
     ramblings...now back to our regularly scheduled bmw list...
