A Certified Pre-Owned BMW has the reliability and performance of a new BMW, but at an even more affordable price tag. We’re going to tell you about some of the benefits you’ll enjoy from choosing a Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) BMW.

Benefits of a Certified Pre-Owned BMW

Stringent Quality Standards

CPO BMWs are vehicles that are five years old or less and have between 300 and 60,000 miles on the odometer. To qualify as a CPO, the vehicle undergoes a rigorous and comprehensive investigation. A BMW-trained technician examines its body condition and finish, and all its systems are checked and tested, including the brakes, mechanical systems, wheels, and electrical systems. In addition, it’s checked to ensure only BMW-approved parts are installed.

Once the testing phase is complete, the technician takes it for a road test to test its systems work perfectly under real-world conditions. Its CARFAX or AutoCheck report must be up to date, as well as its service history. If any servicing is required, it’s performed by BMW-trained technicians using BMW-approved replacement parts. Finally, the vehicle must be approved by the technician, the service manager, and the BMW certified manager.

Warranty Protection

All CPO BMWs are covered by warranty. New BMWs carry a four-year or 50,000-mile BMW New Vehicle Warranty, and any remaining portion of this warranty is transferred to you when you buy it. In addition, a BMW Certified Pre-Owned Limited Warranty is also issued, and it will take effect when the original New Vehicle warranty expires. It covers the CPO BMW for one year and unlimited mileage.

Available CPO Vehicle Service Contract

You can add even more peace of mind by choosing the Ultimate Protection CPO Vehicle Service Contract (VSC). This VSC covers almost every system and component, including your engine, transmission, driveline, brakes, suspension, and cooling system. The only systems and components not covered are specified in the VSC contract.

Coverage applies for up to seven years with unlimited mileage. There are several deductible options available, and repairs will be performed at any BMW service center in the US or Canada. This VSC also provides rental car coverage of $45 per day for up to ten days for a covered repair, and a trip interruption benefit of up to $200 per day for five days if your CPO requires a mechanical breakdown repair over 100 miles from home.

Roadside Assistance

Complimentary roadside assistance is available 24/7/365 for three years. If you have a problem on the road, expert technicians will be sent to your location to fix the problem. They provide a range of services, including lockout assistance, jump-starting, tire replacement, and emergency fuel delivery. They will also tow your BMW to the nearest BMW dealer in the event of a breakdown.
