New or certified pre-owned BMW M4 in Arlington: which fits you?

A new M4 fits you if you want your exact spec and the full factory warranty from day one. A certified pre-owned M4 fits you if you want to pay less and still have BMW-backed coverage. Both routes are open to you at BMW of Arlington, 1105 E Lamar Blvd, Arlington, TX 76011, and the choice comes down to your budget and how you want the car to arrive.

New M4 to order your spec, certified M4 to pay less in Arlington

Choose new when the spec is the decision. Shoppers can place a custom factory order, or reserve an incoming vehicle from the inventory listing, so the M4 you order is the M4 you get. Our staff take part in annual M training, and we are an authorized BMW M Certified Dealer.

Choose certified when price leads. We sell certified pre-owned M4 inventory, and we also sell pre-owned cars from a range of makes rather than only BMW. If you want an open top, our new lineup includes the M4 Convertible.

Why does a certified M4 in Arlington cost less than a new one?

A new car takes its steepest depreciation early, so a certified car lets you buy after the biggest drop has already happened. The new prices show the gap you start from. The 2026 M4 Coupe starts at $82,200 (BMW M Models Lineup, BMW USA), and the M4 Competition xDrive Convertible, the lowest-priced M4 Convertible, starts at $98,600 (BMW, 2026).

Those are new prices, and they set the starting point for a new M4 before any options are added. A certified car puts you past the first years of that drop, which is why it can cost less than the new starting price.

How do you get the exact M4 you want, new or certified?

Shoppers can place a custom factory order, or reserve an incoming vehicle from the inventory listing. Those are the two ways to get the spec you pick..

A custom factory order suits the buyer who knows the exact configuration. A reservation suits the buyer who has seen an incoming car on the listing and wants it held.

Can you finance or lease a new M4 or a certified one in Arlington?

Yes. We offer BMW leases, new BMW financing, and pre-owned car loans, so you can pay for a new M4 or a certified one in the way that suits you. Compare each option against the M4 price you have in mind before you choose.

What do you get with a new M4 versus a certified M4 in Arlington?

A new M4 comes with BMW’s basic warranty, a 4 year/50,000-mile New Vehicle/SAV Limited Warranty. A certified M4 arrives with the rest of its original warranty, and after that warranty ends, the BMW Certified Pre-Owned Limited Protection Plan covers one year with unlimited miles (BMW of North America, 2026).

Texas adds its own cost either way. Motor vehicle sales tax is 6.25% of the sales price, minus any trade-in allowance (Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, 2026).

When is a new M4 the wrong buy, and when is a certified one?

Pick a new M4 when the spec is the decision and a warranty from day one matters most. Pick a certified M4 when you want to pay less and keep BMW-backed coverage.

If the price gap decides it, start with certified inventory. If the exact configuration decides it, a custom factory order is the route.

FAQ

How do the M4 coupe and convertible differ on published figures?

The coupe and the convertible both seat four. The EPA rates the M4 Competition Coupe with rear-wheel drive at 16 city, 23 highway and 19 combined miles per gallon. The M4 Competition M xDrive Convertible, with all-wheel drive, is rated at 16 city, 22 highway and 18 combined (EPA, 2026).

What does a car need to qualify as a certified pre-owned BMW?

A BMW must be five years old or newer, with more than 300 miles and fewer than 60,000 on the odometer, to earn BMW Certified status (BMW Certified Pre-Owned, BMW USA). BMW reviews each vehicle’s CARFAX or AutoCheck report, confirms genuine BMW parts, and checks the maintenance history. Trained technicians complete 360° inspections, and BMW experts finish with a road test (BMW Certified Pre-Owned, BMW USA). Vehicles with an inconsistent or incomplete maintenance history, non-BMW performance modifications, or a disqualifying report do not qualify (Vehicle Inspection Checklist).

In a July 2026 Google review about buying a new X5 from us, Rebecca Y. wrote: “I’ve bought BMW cars for many years across multiple dealerships in Texas but BMW of Arlington is the best and my favorite experience when it comes to purchasing a car. I worked with Carter Selby and Tim Branch, the GM, to purchase my brand new X5 and they are both terrific. Carter is by far the best salesman that I have ever worked with. He was very calm, easy and genuinely friendly- never too pushy like I expect from many salesman at a car dealership. He was very knowledgeable about the vehicles and the numbers, but more than that he listened to me, and I felt heard throughout the entire process. He was honest and straightforward in how he handled things, and that immediately put me at ease. It’s rare to walk away from a car purchase feeling like the person on the other side of the table is truly on your side, but that’s exactly how Carter made me feel. Carter and Tim are both a big part of why I decided to buy my car from them and I’ll absolutely be back to work with them and BMW of Arlington for future purchases.”
