With a BMW Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) vehicle, you gain more than just a superb luxury car at an affordable price; you also gain peace of mind. Read on to learn the considerable advantages of buying a CPO BMW. What Makes BMW Certified Pre-Owned a Smart Choice Luxury Driving for Less A pre-owned BMW may be in exceptional form and yet still get steeply discounted. During the first few years, a BMW might depreciate by 30 or even 40 percent. You might therefore start driving one of the world's most in-demand luxury vehicles without exceeding your budget. Better yet, the insurance premiums will be lower with a used BMW, and the CPO warranty and maintenance benefits will save you money on upkeep costs, too. Strict Program Criteria With CPO status, the car has been guaranteed by BMW to be in excellent condition. Firstly, only vehicles with fewer than 60,000 miles of driving can be accepted. BMW engineers also examine the vehicle history report. They then run it through a stringent 360-degree multipoint test and also a thorough road test. All this is carried out to BMW's usual sky-high quality standards. Reconditioning With OEM Parts During the testing and qualifying process, the car is also reconditioned. This means it's brought up to near-new condition, with any worn parts replaced with genuine OEM components. The car is also cosmetically restored to a like-new appearance, inside and out. more CPO Limited Warranty Any pre-owned BMW that makes it through this demanding process is backed by a generous CPO Limited Warranty for one year and unlimited miles. This warranty provides comprehensive protection against component failure and stacks onto the end of the BMW New Vehicle Limited Warranty. If the previous owner's new BMW warranty, which lasts four years or 50,000 miles, is still valid on the day of purchase, it may transfer to you. This means you're protected by two back-to-back warranties. 24/7 Roadside Assistance You can also enjoy three years of BMW Roadside Assistance. BMW expert technicians will be on hand, ready to help out if you ever run into trouble with your luxury car. Complimentary Oil Change As a nice extra touch, BMW also provides one free oil change with your CPO program. This helps set a good habit; routine oil changes are one of the most important factors in keeping your BMW fault-free and road-worthy. Optional Ultimate CPO Protection If you'd like even more extensive protection, you can go one step further than the standard CPO limited warranty and pay extra for the BMW Ultimate Protection CPO Vehicle Service Contract. This grants protection for seven years and unlimited miles, with several other considerable benefits. If you're interested in this, ask our staff for more details.

If you've felt like your car has been running sluggishly lately or emitting an unusual odor, it might be time for a new catalytic converter. Check for these common signs that your vehicle needs a new catalytic system, then head to your nearest BMW dealer to get the job done. Your car will thank you! Does Your BMW Need a New Catalytic Converter? Visit Your BMW Dealer Today Sulfur Smell From the Exhaust If you notice a disgusting, rotten egg smell coming from your car's exhaust, it is likely a sign that your exhaust system needs to be replaced. The catalyst converter is an important emissions control device that helps to reduce harmful pollutants in exhaust gases. Over time, the catalyst material can break down, causing a build-up of sulfur compounds. When these compounds are heated, they produce the distinctive rotten egg smell often associated with a failing catalytic system. If you notice this problem, it's essential to have your car inspected by a mechanic promptly. more Poor Engine Performance Poor engine performance is one of the most common signs that your catalyst converter needs to be replaced. You can look for a few things to detect poor engine performance, such as a drop in fuel efficiency, increased emissions, and a loss of power. These symptoms are typically caused by a build-up of contaminants in the converter, which prevents it from doing its job correctly. If you detect poor engine performance, take your vehicle to a qualified mechanic for diagnosis and repairs. Rattling Sounds Under the Vehicle Rattling sounds from under your vehicle can signal that you need to replace your catalyst converter. When the catalytic system becomes damaged or clogged over time, it malfunctions, and the exhaust gases escape. These gases can cause the metal in the converter to expand and contract, leading to rattling noises. Therefore, if you hear rattling from under your vehicle, a mechanic must check it out to see if the converter needs to be replaced. Excessive Heat Under the Vehicle The exhaust system is designed to convert exhaust fumes into less harmful gases. However, if it becomes damaged or clogged, it can cause the engine to run less efficiently and produce more heat. In severe cases, the catalyst converter can become so hot that it begins to glow red or even catch fire. If you notice excessive heat coming from under your vehicle, you should have it inspected by a mechanic immediately. If you're in the market for a new catalytic system for your BMW, be sure to stop by Tom Bush BMW Jacksonville. We have a wide selection of parts and accessories, and our team of experts can help you find the perfect fit for your vehicle.

Your superb BMW engine depends on a healthy battery to bring it to life. Many drivers don't, however, think about their battery until a problem arises. As your BMW dealer in Jacksonville, FL, we can test your battery, and we can fit a new car battery when you need one. These are a few possible signs that you may need a new battery before too long. 3 Signs You Need a New Car Battery From Your BMW Dealer Damaged Alternator One of the functions of your alternator is to recharge your battery. When your engine starts, your alternator will charge it at full power for five minutes, and then it switches to recharging your battery at 10% of battery capacity. As your BMW drives, your battery will be recharged. If your alternator starts to fall, your battery will begin to suffer too. When the alternator starts wearing out, it produces less power. This reduced power affects all of your car's systems, and it also reduces the power available to recharge your battery. Your battery uses a set amount of power to start your engine, and if this isn't fully replaced your battery will begin to weaken. In time, this lack of recharging will drain your battery completely. more Worn Out Battery Even the strongest charge can't compensate for a worn-out battery. As the battery ages, the chemical processes in the battery gradually cause it to fail. A failing battery becomes more difficult to recharge, and its maximum charging capacity is also reduced. If the battery isn't replaced, it will wear out completely, and you'll need a jumpstart to get your BMW moving. On average, your battery will last for three to five years before it needs to be replaced. Depending on the demands placed on it, your battery could also wear out sooner. We advise that you bring your BMW in for a battery test after three years. Our expert technicians will connect your battery to our testing equipment, and we can advise you on the battery's health and possible longevity. Corroded Terminals You can't easily check many things about a battery at home, but you can look for signs of corrosion. If you open the hood and look at the terminals, they should look clean. If you see a white or gray salt-like substance around the terminals, your battery is corroding. This corrosion is an unpleasant side-effect of a dying battery. As the battery ages, sulfuric acid in the battery breaks down and releases hydrogen gas. This gas will seep out of the battery casing and mix with chemicals in the air to form hydrogen sulfide. This new gas is drawn to the battery terminals and forms a corrosive acidic salt on the terminals. If your terminals are corroded, your battery will need to be replaced. Your battery won't just fail. You'll be able to see signs that it's failing which gives time to plan for its replacement. If you have an issue with your battery, call our service department at Tom Bush BMW, and we'll repair or replace it for you.

A set of quality tires will give you the traction you need for safe accelerating, braking, and cornering and improve your gas mileage. When your BMW needs new tires, the experts at your BMW dealer will help you find the best tires that'll fit your vehicle perfectly. more Does Your BMW Need New Tires From Your BMW Dealer? The Treads Are Worn The tread on your vehicle's tires gives you traction, even on slippery road surfaces. With use, the rubber wears down and loses the ability to grip the road. Worn tires make driving more dangerous and could cause your car to skid when you suddenly have to hit the brakes. Check the treads on your tires, and if the treads look worn or shallow, measure the tread depth. If the reading shows a depth lower than 5.32 inches, your tires might not have enough traction to provide safety. If the depth is 2.32 inches or below, replace your tires as soon as possible. The Tires Are Worn Down Unevenly Tire treads wear at different rates. When the tread on one side of the tire looks more worn than the other, it could be due to incorrect inflation or misalignment. Ask your BMW technician for a tire inspection to see if you need to replace the tire. You Can See the Tire Wear Indicator Bars The tire wear indicator bars are the small rubber bars at the lowest point in the tire tread. You can barely see the bars on a new set of tires, but as you drive and the tread wears down, they become more visible. If you can see the bars, it's a warning that the treads are worn and the tires need replacing. The Tires Lose Air Pressure When your tires lose air pressure, and you have to inflate them often, there could be a tiny leak in the tire. You could get the leak patched, but for your safety, ask your technician to check if the tire is still good enough to use and if it's necessary to replace the tire. The Tires Are Damaged Check the sidewalls of your tires for cuts, cracks, and bulges caused by wear and age that create weak spots. Driving with damaged tires is unsafe and could cause skidding if you suddenly have to hit the brakes and even blowouts. For your safety, replace damaged tires ASAP. The Tires Are Old Tires don't last forever, and when tires grow old, the rubber weakens, dries out, and starts to crack. Old tires will affect your driving and your safety on the road. Most tire manufacturers recommend replacing tires after six to ten years, even if the tires are still in good condition. You can check the replacement specifications on your tire or ask your BMW technician to help you. Make a habit of checking your tires regularly. If the treads are worn or shallow and you notice damage, replace the tires for your safety.
