What is "Certified Pre-Owned?"



BMW CERTIFICATION

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.
  • 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.

Look below to find our Certified Inspection Checklist...

It is your assurance of the quality, reliability and overall pleasure BMW owners have come to expect.

WARRANTY
The Certified Pre-Owned BMW Warranty protects you against defects in materials or workmanship for a wide range of vehicle components. The Warranty is administered by BMW of North America, LLC, ensuring that covered repairs are performed by BMW-trained technicians using only genuine BMW replacement parts. And, since this is a BMW-backed program, you won't have to wait for a third-party adjuster to decide whether your repair is covered, and Tom Willliams BMW  can make the determination right on the spot.

**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.
