New or certified pre-owned BMW X1 in Arlington: which fits you?

Buy a new BMW X1 if you want to choose your own color and packages and start under the new-vehicle warranty; buy a BMW Certified Pre-Owned X1 if you want to pay less and still have certified coverage behind the car. We sell both at 1105 E Lamar Blvd in Arlington.

Budget, how much of the car you want to specify, and how much warranty you need from day one decide which one fits.

Who in Arlington should buy a new BMW X1, and who a certified one?

A new X1 suits the buyer who wants the car built to their own choices, with factory coverage from the day it is delivered. BMW’s published 2026 specifications list the X1’s basic warranty as the 4-year/50,000-mile New Vehicle/SAV Limited Warranty. A certified X1 suits the buyer who wants BMW backing at a lower price, as long as the car qualifies. A certified car must be 5 years old or newer, with more than 300 miles but under 60,000 on the odometer. Each certified car then carries the BMW Certified Pre-Owned Limited Protection Plan, which covers one year with unlimited miles once the original warranty expires (BMW of North America, 2026).

What does a new BMW X1 start at, and how is a certified one priced?

According to BMW’s published 2026 specifications, the X1 xDrive28i starts at a $43,200 MSRP, and the X1 M35i starts at $52,400. Those figures are the starting prices for a new car, so they are the numbers to set against any new X1 offer. A certified X1 is a used car with its own price, set car by car. Compare the price on the specific car you are looking at rather than a model-line figure. Check each certified car against the age and mileage limits before you compare its price with a new one.

What makes an X1 certified pre-owned, and what does the inspection cover?

A certified X1 is checked before it is sold as certified. As BMW’s Certified Pre-Owned benefits, warranty and FAQs page states, “Detailed 360° vehicle inspections are completed and approved by BMW Trained Technicians.” The same page describes the next step: “Next, 360° vehicle inspections, reconditioning, and approvals are completed by trained technicians who know BMW best. A comprehensive road test by BMW experts is the next step in the process, using all-BMW diagnostic equipment.” It also says, “Vehicles are reconditioned with Genuine BMW Parts for the driving performance you expect.” Ask to see the inspection record for the specific car before you decide.

New versus certified pre-owned BMW X1: what do you get with each?

A new X1 gives you the factory warranty from delivery and the chance to build the car yourself. At BMW of Arlington, shoppers can reserve an incoming vehicle from the inventory listing or place a custom factory order. A certified X1 gives you a car that has passed the inspection and meets the age and mileage limits, with the Limited Protection Plan behind it after the original warranty ends. Choose by what you need first. If the color and packages matter most, the new car is the route. If a lower price with BMW-backed coverage matters most, the certified car is.

Can I order a new BMW X1 in my own color and packages?

Yes, through a custom factory order. That is the route for choosing color and packages on a new X1 instead of taking a car someone else has already specified. The starting MSRP is $43,200 for the xDrive28i and $52,400 for the M35i, according to BMW’s published 2026 specifications. Your color and package choices add to those figures, so ask for the full price before you commit.

When is a new X1 the wrong choice, and when is a certified one?

A certified X1 is the wrong choice if you need the full new-vehicle warranty term from day one, because a certified car’s coverage runs on the program’s own terms. A new X1 is the wrong choice if a lower price matters more to you than choosing the car’s color and packages. The Limited Protection Plan picks up once the original warranty ends, so a certified car keeps coverage after that point. Decide which of those two needs comes first.

What lease and finance options do we offer on a new or certified X1?

Here you can lease a BMW, finance a new one, or take out a pre-owned car loan. New BMW financing fits a new X1, and a pre-owned car loan fits a certified one. A lease also sits alongside these options for the car you pick. Start with the car’s price, then ask us how each way of paying works on that car.

FAQ

What does the destination charge add to a new BMW X1?

BMW’s 2026 lease offer for the X1 xDrive28i lists a $1,350 destination and handling fee (BMW USA, Lease & Finance Offers, 2026). Add that fee when you set a new X1’s price beside a certified car’s price.

How much is Texas sales tax on a new or used BMW X1?

In Texas, the motor vehicle sales tax rate is 6.25% of the sales price after any trade-in allowance is subtracted (Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, 2026). A trade-in reduces the amount that is taxed, and a new X1 and a used one follow the same rule.
