Certification Process
What makes a pre-owned BMW a Certified Pre-Owned BMW?
Rigorous guidelines to start.
For a pre-owned BMW to become certified, it has to go through a comprehensive certification process. Only late-model BMWs with less than 60,000 miles are eligible to be certified. Qualifying vehicles then undergo a thorough inspection by a BMW-trained technician. Systems and components—everything from engine performance to the operation of the glove box—are meticulously checked. And of course, particular attention is paid to all the safety functions.
Every vehicle is checked and tested according to our comprehensive Certified Pre-Owned vehicle inspection checklist. While other luxury automakers boast about how many points their checklists may have, we're more concerned with the quality of our checks and tests. And since we believe that you should know its history, every Certified Pre-Owned BMW comes with a CARFAX® Vehicle History Report™.
