Certified pre-owned at BMW of Arlington covers major mechanical and electrical parts
At BMW of Arlington, a certified car is backed by a limited protection plan that covers its major mechanical and electrical systems (BMW of North America, 2026). The plan starts when the original new-vehicle warranty ends, and it runs one year with unlimited miles.
How long does certified pre-owned coverage last at BMW of Arlington?
Certified coverage runs one year with unlimited miles, starting when the original BMW new-vehicle warranty ends. The protection runs for the term already given, measured from that end point.
Electric models carry a separate, longer battery term, set out with the i4 and iX battery. A shopper comparing a certified car with a new one should compare start points, because the certified term picks up where the new-car term stops.
What does certified pre-owned not cover at BMW of Arlington?
Certified coverage leaves out routine upkeep and wear items. Brake pads and rotors, filters, spark plugs, wiper blades, tires, tire balancing and rotation, wheel alignment, and batteries sold as a stand-alone repair are all excluded (BMW Certified Pre-Owned Limited Warranty Exclusions).
Inside the cabin, carpeting, floor and trunk mats, interior noises, squeaks and rattles, and upholstery are excluded, with the seat heating elements and the seat occupancy sensor mat as the exception (BMW Certified Pre-Owned Limited Warranty Exclusions). A buyer who expects the plan to cover wear items will pay for them, so read the list before you buy and ask about each item.
What must a car pass to be certified pre-owned at BMW of Arlington?
A certified car must meet the plan’s age and mileage limits and pass BMW’s inspection before it earns the label. A certified BMW must be five years old or newer, with more than 300 and fewer than 60,000 miles on the odometer (BMW of North America, 2026), so the inspection is the next test.
The inspection checks the mechanical systems, the tires, wheels, and brakes, and the body condition, fit, and finish. A BMW Certified Technician, a Service Manager, and the BMW Certified Manager must each approve the car (BMW Certified Pre-Owned Benefits, BMW USA).
How does certified pre-owned at BMW of Arlington cover an i4 or iX battery?
On a 2026 i4 or iX, the high-voltage battery carries its own limited warranty of 96 months (8 years) or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first, against defects in materials or workmanship (BMW USA, 2026). That battery warranty is separate from the plan that covers the rest of the car.
A certified used electric BMW carries an 8-year or 100,000-mile battery warranty from its in-service date, against defects in materials or workmanship (BMW Certified Used Electric Vehicles, BMW USA).
For a shopper choosing between a new electric BMW and a certified one, the battery terms are the first thing to compare, because the new 2026 warranty and the certified used warranty start from different points.
