When CAR and DRIVER recently reviewed a Certified Pre-Owned BMW, they couldn't help but gush. 'It has the look of a new car inside and out,' they said. 'When I drove it, there was the same unworldly smoothness that always impressed in new BMWs...it can slice through traffic with its effortless power and precise, nimble handling, yet when cruising at 75 mph, it achieves nearly 30 miles per gallon.'
It's no surprise. After all, the Certified Pre-Owned title is awarded only to those BMWs that meet our demanding standards and pass a meticulous certification process. Read what else CAR and DRIVER had to say, and prepare to gush.
Owning a Certified Pre-Owned BMW is its own reward, a driving sensation made even more pleasurable considering BMW's demanding standards and extensive protection benefits. The Certified Pre Owned title is awarded only to those BMWs which pass meticulous inspection.
Athens BMW is dedicated to providing you with the most enjoyable and rewarding ownership experience possible, and that is why BMW CPO Program provides you with outstanding travel protection 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The BMW Roadside Assistance Program is designed to ensure your peace of mind while on the road. It is available in all 50 states.

In most cases, as needed, Athens BMW will replace the tires durning the CPO inspection process with new tires, the same brand used when it was new. If there is a crack in a windshield we don't repair it - we replace it - not with an off brand but an original equipment BMW windshield. If the glove box does not close, it can not pass our inspection.
What qualifies a BMW to become a Certified Pre-Owned BMW from Athens BMW?
Only the best pre-owned BMWs qualify for the Certified Pre-Owned BMW Vehicle Program. To be eligible for enrollment in the Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle Program, a late-model vehicle must be in service for at least six months or have more than 6,000 miles but less than 60,000 miles on the odometer. They must pass an extensive examination - a thorough and rigorous inspection by BMW factory-trained technicians. They inspect the vehicle for safety, performance and wear. If something is not right, it is fixed. If it cannot be fixed, the car cannot become a Certified Pre-Owned BMW.
Every Athens BMW Certified Pre-Owned BMW is backed by a unique BMW Protection Plan which provides coverage on the vehicle for up to six years or 100,000 miles from the start date of the Manufacturer's New Vehicle Warranty.
In short, Athens BMW is very picky. But when you see everything covered under our Protection Plan, you'll understand why. Only the best used BMWs get to become a Cerified Pre Owned BMW.

The Warranty is administered by BMW of North America, LLC, ensuring that covered repairs are performed by BMW-trained technicians using only genuine BMW replacement parts.
