BMW Canada Inc. allows most of its cars and SUVs to be certified by franchise dealers for sale under the company’s certified pre-owned (CPO) vehicle program.

To be eligible for enrollment in the BMW Certified Program, a vehicle must:

  • be no more than 5 years old from its original in-service date
  • have no more than 120,000 kilometers on the odometer
  • have only genuine BMW parts installed with no modifications
  • have an up-to-date maintenance history.

Before a used BMW can be designated as certified by a dealership, its CARFAX report is reviewed and passed on to the new owner. It also goes through a 360-degree vehicle inspection and road test by BMW technicians, and it gets reconditioned using original BMW parts.

Warranties

Every BMW certified pre-owned vehicle is backed by a minimum 1-year warranty. The balance of the new vehicle limited warranty of up to 4 years or 80,000 kilometres, whichever comes first, or a 5-year and unlimited-kilometre powertrain limited warranty from the vehicle in-service date, remain in effect if applicable. BMW Canada charges no deductible on CPO warranty services. Extended warranty products for the powertrain only or the full vehicle are available for an additional charge. Electric and plug-in hybrid CPO vehicles comes with the vehicle’s original 8-year/160,000-kilometre battery warranty, which transfers to the new owner.

Perks

Roadside Assistance

BMW Canada CPO vehicles come with 24-hour roadside assistance with the same duration as the remaining warranty period. Benefits include towing to the nearest BMW retailer, battery jump starts, lock-out assistance, and fuel delivery.

300km Exchange Privilege

Certified pre-owned buyers of BMW vehicles in Canada may exchange their chosen vehicle for another CPO product in the same retailer’s stock within three days or 300 kilometres of the original purchase. Buyers may select a vehicle of greater value should they wish to pay the difference.

Special Financing

BMW Financial Services offers special rates and terms for its CPO vehicles, sometimes as low as 0.99 percent.
