Why Buy Certified?
What qualifies a BMW to become a Certified Pre-Owned BMW?
Only the best pre-owned BMWs qualify for the Certified Pre-Owned BMW Vehicle Program. To be eligible for enrollment in the Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle Program, a vehicle:
- Must be in service for at least six months or have more than 6,000 miles but less than 60,000 miles on the odometer.
- Must pass an extensive examination by BMW factory-trained technicians. They inspect the vehicle for safety, performance and wear. If something is not right, it is fixed. If it cannot be fixed, the car cannot become a Certified Pre-Owned BMW.
Although the Certified Pre-Owned BMW Limited Warranty is extremely comprehensive, it is not an extension of the original 4-year/50,000 mile New BMW Vehicle Limited Warranty. The Certified Pre-Owned BMW Limited Warranty takes over when the BMW New Vehicle Limited Warranty expires, and the coverage it provides is somewhat different from the new car warranty.
What is COVERED under the Certified Pre-Owned BMW Limited Warranty?
The Certified Pre-Owned BMW Limited Warranty provides coverage for up to 2 years or 50,000 miles (whichever comes first) from the date of the expiration of the 4 year/50,000 mile (whichever comes first) BMW New Vehicle Limited Warranty. Ask your Client advisor for complete details on the BMW New Vehicle Limited Warranty coverage.
The Certified Pre-Owned BMW Limited Warranty is designed to protect owners from defects in materials and workmanship on covered parts and components. The broad coverage includes the parts and systems listed below except where specifically noted in the 'Not Covered' section of The Certified Pre-Owned BMW Protection Plan Consumer Information Statement (available for examination at your BMW center)
