A BMW Certified Pre-Owned vehicle pairs the value of a used car with the confidence of a near-new model — backed by a manufacturer warranty and proven through a rigorous certification process. It’s why drivers across Riverside, Corona, and Moreno Valley choose Certified when they want a BMW they can trust without the uncertainty of a private-party sale.
Late-model BMWs with 300–60,000 miles and an up-to-date maintenance history.
Unlimited-mileage CPO Limited Warranty after the original 4-year/50,000-mile coverage.
BMW Roadside Assistance for travel protection any time, day or night.
Coverage transfers to a private buyer and can be extended for added peace of mind.
Not every used BMW qualifies as Certified Pre-Owned. To be eligible, a vehicle must be a late-model BMW with 300 to 60,000 miles and an up-to-date maintenance history. From there, each one passes a comprehensive multi-point inspection and reconditioning by BMW factory-trained technicians using genuine BMW parts, finishing with a road test verified by BMW diagnostic equipment. If a component can’t be brought to BMW’s like-new standard, the vehicle doesn’t earn the Certified badge.
The biggest advantage is manufacturer-backed protection. Every BMW Certified Pre-Owned vehicle includes a 1-year, unlimited-mileage CPO Limited Warranty that begins when the original 4-year/50,000-mile New Vehicle Limited Warranty expires — with no mileage cap, it’s especially valuable for higher-mileage drivers.
| Coverage | Term |
|---|---|
| New Vehicle Limited Warranty | 4 years / 50,000 miles |
| CPO Limited Warranty | 1 year / unlimited miles (after NVLW) |
| Rust Perforation Warranty | 12 years / unlimited miles |
| Roadside Assistance | Up to 6 years from original in-service date / unlimited miles |
Coverage also includes 24/7 BMW Roadside Assistance, and the warranty is transferable to a future private buyer — protection that follows the car and supports its resale value. Compared with a standard used car, a Certified BMW cuts the hidden costs of tires, brakes, or deferred maintenance, and its newer condition can qualify for stronger financing and a lower total cost of ownership.
Warranty coverage summarized here is for general information only and is subject to change. Complete terms, conditions, and exclusions are governed by the official BMW Certified Pre-Owned and New Vehicle Limited Warranty documents. See your BMW center for full details.
