An Overview of the BMW Certified Pre-Owned Warranty
Like all types of coverage, the certified pre-owned BMW warranty inspires powerful peace of mind because it protects your vehicle against specific defects in materials and workmanship. This credential also provides multiple benefits you might not see from other automakers, which we will discuss in the next sections. It comes standard with every certified pre-owned BMW model we sell; there's no additional charge to obtain it.
As a quick refresher, a certified pre-owned BMW model must be five years old or newer and possess less than 60,000 miles on the odometer. These strict requirements are in place to ensure every certified vehicle delivers the quality, reliability, and longevity BMW is known for. We invite you to start shopping our selection to see what we have in stock today.
What Is Included in the BMW Certified Warranty?
BMW certified pre-owned warranty coverage is extensive. Not only does it offer protection for an entire year and unlimited miles,1 but it also begins after your car's original New Vehicle Limited Warranty expires. For our customers, this means that purchasing a certified pre-owned model still under its original warranty will have coverage through the end of the new car policy and for an additional year.1
In addition to the one-year/unlimited-mile warranty,1 you get to enjoy one complimentary oil and oil filter change,2 along with the following advantages when you purchase any of our certified pre-owned BMW vehicles:
- Up-to-date CARFAX® or AutoCheck® Report1
- Passing grade of intensive vehicle inspections1
- Complimentary service loaners or alternative transportation3
- Genuine BMW parts when repairs are needed4
Is Roadside Assistance a Part of the BMW Certified Pre-Owned Warranty?
Every BMW certified warranty at our dealership includes three years of 24/7 roadside assistance.5 Imagine packing for vacation and hitting the open highway in your certified BMW X3, only to see you forgot to fill up. Thanks to your certified pre-owned warranty, you can get the roadside assistance you need and continue your journey as planned. This coverage includes the following elements:
- Trip interruption coverage of up to $1,000 per event, where applicable5
- Up to two complimentary annual fuel deliveries5
- Oil and coolant delivery, at an additional cost for the driver5
- Lock-out assistance, either remotely or in person5
A Closer Look at BMW Certified Pre-Owned Warranty Terms
Everyone knows that automotive warranties have exclusions; rather than surprise you with them or hide them in small print, here's a straightforward look at what you can expect to be included in the warranty and what you can't.
What's Covered
The BMW certified pre-owned warranty takes care of covered issues with major systems and components, including but not limited to turbochargers, gaskets, fuel pumps, cooling systems, traction motors, on-board chargers, transmissions, drivelines, transfer cases, suspensions, brakes, heating and cooling systems, and infotainment systems.1
What's Not Covered
The BMW certified pre-owned warranty is not designed to address normal vehicle wear and tear. For example, the maintenance and upkeep of brake pads, rotors, shoes, and drums are not covered. Other non-eligible parts include filters, spark plugs, wiper blade inserts, batteries, engine drive belts, flywheels, fuses, fluids, tires, ball joints, bushings, stabilizer bar links, tie rod ends, braces and mounts, body panels, bulbs, exterior molding, and more.1
Is It Possible to Transfer the BMW Certified Warranty?
Another fantastic perk of the certified pre-owned BMW warranty is its transferability. Let's say you're ready to sell your certified BMW 5 Series. As long as you're the original owner of the vehicle and the warranty is still within the proper age and mileage limits, you can transfer your warranty to a private buyer by following a few simple guidelines.
First, complete a transfer application. Next, submit that form, along with supporting documentation, via mail to BMW of North America. For an official mailing address and document information, reach out to our team at Certified Benz & Beemer. We can help you transfer your current warranty – and claim another when you shop our inventory.
Is There an Extended Certified BMW Warranty?
Many of our customers don't realize that, even after their certified pre-owned policy runs out, they can still travel with elevated confidence by purchasing a BMW certified pre-owned extended warranty called BMW Ultimate Protection Platinum. It is an optional plan that offers top-tier coverage for specific systems and parts on eligible BMW vehicles.6
BMW Ultimate Protection Platinum can comprehensively safeguard your vehicle against covered component failure for up to seven years and for unlimited miles.6 We think it's definitely a plan worth your investment.

Highly recommend buying your next car from Certified Benz & Beemer! This was my first out of state car purchase and first time buying a BMW and my sales guy Naeem "Que" Sadeque was super helpful, knowledgeable, and patient with my wide variety of questions. Que walked me through the remote buying process, shared a variety of photos and videos of the car I was looking at and made this a simple easy process. He kept me up to date with everything happening to the vehicle and as it shipped kept me informed.
