Certified BMW Warranty | Understanding BMW's Certified Pre-Owned Plan

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 late-model 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. They must pass an extensive examination - a thorough and rigorous inspection 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.

In short, we're picky. But when you see everything covered under our Protection Plan, you'll understand why.

Ask to see the Certified Pre-Owned Inspection Checklist. It is your assurance of the quality, reliability and overall pleasure BMW owners have come to expect.

What advantages do I have with a Certified Pre-Owned BMW?

The Warranty
The 2 year/50,000 miles warranty (whichever comes first) Certified Pre-Owned BMW Limited Warranty takes over when the original 4-year/50,000 mile New Vehicle Limited Warranty expires* Although the Certified Pre-Owned BMW Limited Warranty is extremely comprehensive, covering a wide range of vehicle components, it is not an extension of the original New Vehicle Limited Warranty. Like the New Vehicle Warranty, however, the Certified Pre-owned BMW Limited Warranty is administered by BMW of North America, LLC, which means that covered repairs are performed by BMW trained Technicians using only original BMW parts.

BMW Roadside Assistance
Sometimes things happen when you're out on the road. That's why every Certified Pre-Owned BMW comes with BMW Roadside Assistance coverage for 2 years with unlimited miles.** Anywhere in the United States, Canada or Puerto Rico, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, all it takes to get help is a single toll free call. Whether your vehicle is disabled due to a flat tire or dead battery, or even out of gas, BMW Roadside Assistance will be there to help. The coverage also includes lock out service as well as towing to the nearest BMW center if required.

BMW Assist
BMW Assist can add confidence and convenience to your travels. This service, which is available on many late-model BMW vehicles, combines GPS location technology with hands-free wireless communications. With a push of a button, you can get emergency help, or even directions, traffic and weather information. Ask your BMW Center for subscription details.
