What makes an Approved Used BMW?
Discover why buying either an Approved Used BMW or a BMW Used from an authorised BMW Retailer across the UK is the smart choice. Every Approved Used BMW / Used BMW has passed numerous quality checks before it is given comprehensive manufacturer protection - all to the standard you’d expect from BMW.
What's the difference between BMW Used and Approved Used BMW?
It's important to first understand that BMW offers two types of used cars; BMW Used and Approved Used BMW.
The benefits of purchasing a BMW Used Car are almost identical to that of an Approved Used BMW. The one difference is that an Approved Used BMW comes with the extra benefit of having a Verified Service History. This ensures that the vehicle has been serviced at the correct intervals and completed using all BMW approved fluids and parts. With BMW Used Cars, after meticulous quality checks, a warranty is provided and a full service is completed.
Checked: BMW experts carefully
inspect, test and certify.
Vehicle history and mileage check.
An independent, certified check to verify mileage and vehicle history, which ensures that the car has not been stolen or written-off and is not subject to any outstanding finance agreement.
Meticulous technical and mechanical checks.
Full vehicle preparation to pass stringent 360º inspection checks performed by qualified BMW Technicians. Any mechanical faults are rectified using only Genuine BMW Parts, most with a two-year Warranty for added peace of mind.
Fully road tested.
A comprehensive road test that ensures the driving experience meets BMW exacting standards. We always encourage you to take a test drive* before purchase to ensure you are completely satisfied.
Verified service history.
A car’s service history must meet BMW Approved Used standards. If a service is due it will be carried out prior to delivery.
Please note that BMW Used Cars share all Approved Used Car benefits excluding verified service history. Please speak to your local BMW Centre for more information.
