10 Reasons to Choose a Certified Pre-Owned BMW

How can you enjoy the luxury and performance of an iconic automotive brand like BMW without paying a premium or compromising your must-haves? While you can settle for an entry-level trim that barely checks all the boxes on your list, a Certified Pre-Owned BMW is a far better solution. These models are hand-selected and vetted to ensure they meet BMW’s quality standards and are worthy of a place in our inventory. But what other perks are part of BMW’s Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) program?

#1 – Guaranteed Quality With a 360-Degree Inspection

There’s a significant difference between shopping for a used and Certified Pre-Owned BMW. While used BMWs are typically more affordable than new ones, they aren’t held to the same quality standards as Certified Pre-Owned models. For example, every Certified Pre-Owned BMW on our lot must pass a comprehensive assessment that ensures it meets or exceeds specific quality standards.

BMW’s Certified Pre-Owned assessment starts by evaluating age and mileage. To earn a certified badge, the model must be no more than five years old and have less than 60,000 miles on the odometer. From there, our technicians inspect every component, guaranteeing it has genuine BMW parts and is mechanically and physically sound, from the headlights and tires to how it performs during a road test. Models that reach this part of the inspection process are then competitively priced, with customers confirming the certification process and the car’s quality with the provided vehicle history report.

#2 – Genuine BMW Parts: A Like-New BMW

Every BMW on our lot that earns the Certified Pre-Owned badge has been reconditioned to ensure it’s as close to what it was when it rolled off the automaker’s production line as possible. This reconditioning process varies with each vehicle, with some requiring more repairs than others. In any instance, by using genuine BMW parts, we guarantee the quality of every Certified Pre-Owned model.

Used vehicles may have aftermarket components, which are often lower-quality and require more frequent replacement. While these parts are popular, they don’t meet the performance standards expected of a BMW. Because of this, Certified Pre-Owned models are fitted with genuine OEM components or equivalent substitutes that match the same quality of components used in the BMW production facility. These components aren’t one-size-fits-all but specific to the vehicle, maintaining its integrity and ensuring its performance and longevity.

#3 – Peace of Mind: BMW Certified Limited Warranty

Buying a used vehicle is a risk because the warranty may be expired, depending on the model’s age and mileage. This risk is avoidable when you shop for a Certified Pre-Owned BMW, which is backed by a BMW Certified Pre-Owned Limited Warranty.

Every Certified Pre-Owned BMW must be five years old or newer and have fewer than 60,000 miles on the odometer. The age and mileage are important because BMW’s new vehicle warranty extends for four years or 50,000 miles, meaning many Certified Pre-Owned BMWs are still covered by the new vehicle warranty. In this case, BMW’s Certified Pre-Owned Limited Warranty starts when the initial warranty expires and extends for one year with unlimited miles. For vehicles with an expired new vehicle warranty, the CPO limited warranty provides 12 months of worry-free coverage.

#4 – Maintenance Made Easy With Complimentary Service

Buying a Certified Pre-Owned BMW is exciting and rewarding, especially with a team like ours. As a full-service automotive center, our technicians will help you get the most from your investment by overseeing all your routine service, maintenance, and repair needs. Fortunately, BMW kickstarts that process by including a complimentary oil and filter change with your purchase. Our BMW-trained technicians will handle this service and use original BMW parts backed by a limited warranty.

#5 – Confidence Behind the Wheel: Roadside Assistance

BMW fosters confidence as you climb into the driver’s seat and drive home in your BMW. This confidence extends beyond the automaker’s reputation to its efforts to provide ongoing service when the unthinkable happens. Your Certified Pre-Owned BMW includes many perks, but few are more consistent and invaluable than three years of BMW’s roadside assistance program.

Our service team can oversee all your repair and maintenance needs, but BMW’s roadside assistance team takes over when you’re outside our state-of-the-art facility. For example, you can call roadside assistance to jumpstart your battery, unlock the doors, or deliver fuel. They can also change a flat tire and even tow your car to our facility or, if you’re outside the city limits, to the closest certified BMW service center.

#6 – Keeping You on the Road: Loaner Vehicles

What happens when it’s time to bring your BMW in for routine service or repairs? Many drivers dread the experience because it’s inconvenient and stressful. Something as simple as an oil change and tire rotation or as complex as a brake service can steal valuable time from your busy schedule. Moreover, you’re often stuck at the service department without another means of transportation.

We help mitigate this inconvenience by offering our customers loaner vehicles or alternative transportation. Depending on availability, these courtesy loaners ensure you can get wherever you need to go. You can request a loaner vehicle when you schedule your service appointment and enjoy a streamlined experience. You don’t have to rely on anyone else for a ride or spend an entire day in our lobby (even though we always welcome the company).

#7 – Help When You Need It With BMW Assist

BMW prioritizes your safety, from the high-strength build of every model to an extensive lineup of active and passive safety and driver-assist tools. You’ll find many of these technologies in our Certified Pre-Owned inventory, but BMW doesn’t stop there. BMW Assist is included on many newer models. Why is this something to consider when you shop?

The BMW Assist Safety Plan uses cutting-edge technologies to detect when your vehicle has been in a collision. This feature automatically connects you with a live response specialist who can route emergency personnel to your location. You can also activate the feature via the BMW Assist button, meaning help is always within reach when the unthinkable occurs.

#8 – Enjoy the Ride With CPO Wrap

Your Certified Pre-Owned BMW is backed by a one-year limited warranty, which activates after any remaining new vehicle warranty expires. Fortunately, BMW makes extending this coverage straightforward with CPO Wrap. The program offers tiered coverage based on your needs, keeping more money in your wallet when your BMW needs service or unexpected repairs.

Think of CPO Wrap as a service contract that helps you maximize and protect your vehicle. Depending on the tier, CPO Wrap covers major components like the engine, transmission, suspension, and brakes. It also covers more complex areas like the infotainment system, driveline, transfer case, and hybrid-specific parts. As expected, CPO Wrap guarantees BMW factory-approved components are used.

Beyond minimizing your repair expenses, CPO Wrap includes several additional perks that mitigate inconvenience and save money elsewhere. For example, if your BMW breaks down when you’re traveling, your CPO Wrap plan includes trip interruption coverage of up to $200 per day for up to five days if you’re more than 100 miles from home. If you have to rent a car, the plan pays up to $45 per day for your rental for up to ten days.

#9 – Financing Your BMW Dream: Easy and Hassle-Free

One of the best perks of shopping for a Certified Pre-Owned BMW is realizing that financing your purchase is hassle-free and straightforward. BMW offers many special incentives and credits for Certified Pre-Owned models. Whether you fall in love with a luxury SUV, plug-in hybrid, or electric vehicle, your Certified Pre-Owned purchase process will be easy and transparent. Our finance team will walk you through any special offers and financing, navigate the trade-in process, and help you secure a competitive interest rate with a reputable lender.

#10 – Joining a Legacy: Part of the BMW Family

One of the greatest benefits of investing in a Certified Pre-Owned BMW is joining an incredible legacy that has shaped the global landscape for over a century. BMW is renowned for its ingenuity, from manufacturing aircraft engines and motorcycles to luxurious automobiles. Every BMW model is a testament to the brand’s success and its dedication to consistently going above and beyond to exceed our expectations by building long-lasting, reliable, and high-performance models that exude opulence and sophistication.
