At BMW of Lynchburg, our Certified Pre-Owned models are not merely “pre-owned;” they are specifically selected, thoroughly inspected, and 100-percent ready to deliver the level of quality you have come to expect from a premium BMW.

If you're wondering how we can deliver every certified BMW at legendary performance, safety, and luxury, here’s an inside look at the certification process.

Step 1: Selecting the Right Candidates

Not all used BMWs can be certified. First, we vet all the vehicles in our inventory to be sure the quality is high enough to be a candidate for certification. For the BMW Certified Program, a vehicle must:

  • Be a recent model BMW (within specific age/mileage parameters).
  • Have under 60,000 miles on the odometer.
  • Have a clean CARFAX® Vehicle History Report.
  • Have no frame damage or major accidents.

The vetting process ensures we are working with a vehicle that meets the high baseline standards before it is even applied for certification.

Step 2: The BMW Comprehensive Inspection

Once a vehicle passes the first round, our BMW-trained technicians thoroughly examine the vehicle during the 360-degree vehicle inspection.

We review the following criteria:

  • Engine & Transmission: Runs great, no leaks, and operates to factory specifications.
  • Brakes & Suspension: Like-new stopping power and precision in handling.
  • Exterior & Paint: No major defects, chips, or mismatched paint.
  • Interior Quality: Quality materials, proper functioning equipment, and clean finishes.
  • Technology Systems: Operating systems such as iDrive® infotainment, navigation, Bluetooth®, and driver-assist features.
  • Tires & Wheels: Proper tread depth, good alignment, and OEM-quality wheels.

We check every aspect of the vehicle against BMW factory standards, and if something is not perfect, we will repair or replace it with Genuine BMW Parts.

Step 3: Road Testing for Real-World Performance

BMWs are serviced for the road, so it takes more than just a garage inspection. Each vehicle is evaluated in a robust road test, and our technicians assess a range of factors:

  • Steering Feedback
  • Acceleration and Smooth Shifting
  • Brake Performance
  • Ride Comfort and Cabin Noise
  • System Alerts and Dash Instrumentation

Only when a vehicle passes this real-world test does it proceed to the certification process.

Step 4: Certification & Warranty Coverage

After passing every inspection, the vehicle earns the BMW Certified designation – a badge that guarantees premium quality and peace of mind.

Every BMW Certified Pre-Owned vehicle includes:

  • BMW Certified Pre-Owned Limited Warranty: One year with unlimited miles after the original 4-year/50,000-mile New Vehicle Limited Warranty expires.
  • 24/7 Roadside Assistance: For added confidence on the road.
  • Special Financing Offers: Competitive rates for qualified buyers.

Step 5: Final Detailing & Delivery

Before you actually see your Certified BMW, it's professionally detailed to ensure it is as showroom-ready as possible. From polished paint to a clean and crisp interior, your BMW has never felt as new as it drives.

When you take delivery, you are not only acquiring a BMW – you are obtaining the BMW of Lynchburg Certified Pre-Owned promise: quality, luxury, and performance at every corner.
