Should I Buy a Certified Pre-Owned BMW X5 or a New Model?

One of the biggest decisions that buyers make here at BMW of Northwest Arkansas is whether to buy new or pre-owned. However, there’s a third option that lies in between those two choices: Certified Pre-Owned (CPO). Whether you’re considering a Certified Pre-Owned BMW X5 or a different BMW model, purchasing from this inventory gets you a like-new vehicle with additional perks.

Here is how to decide between new and CPO.

How Does a BMW Car Become Certified Pre-Owned?

The BMW Certified program combines the best aspects of buying pre-owned (lower price) with the best aspects of buying new (high quality models that come with a warranty). In order to become Certified in the first place, a vehicle must have:

• Less than 60,000 miles
• Genuine BMW parts
• An up-to-date maintenance history
• Passed a comprehensive vehicle inspection

Additionally, all Certified BMW cars come with a BMW Certified Pre-Owned Limited Warranty. Providing comprehensive coverage for one full year, this warranty kicks in after the expiration of the 4-year/50,000-mile BMW New Vehicle/SUV Limited Warranty.

Finally, BMW Certified vehicles also come with these benefits:

• Loaner vehicles
• BMW Assist
• Fully transferable warranty

When to Buy New

Despite all the benefits of buying a Certified Pre-Owned BMW X5, buying new is still the correct choice for some buyers. These are some of the advantages of buying new:

• New vehicle warranty
• Latest technology and features
• You can configure the model to your liking with available options and packages
• Free scheduled maintenance

Looking at the new 2023 BMW X5, the 2023 model adds features like an available wireless smartphone charging pad and optional Sensafin vegan leather, which you won’t find in a CPO model.
