Driving a used BMW is just as luxurious as driving a new model because BMW has always offered an amazing and innovative driving experience. Before you assume a new BMW is best, make sure you understand exactly what you get when you buy a pre-owned model.

Access to BMW Technology and Innovation

Buying a used vehicle other than BMW may mean you have to settle for less technology and innovation, but not when you buy a pre-owned BMW. They have been the leader in technology for decades.

Their coveted and powerful BMW iDrive was first introduced in 2001 and has only improved over the years. In slightly used models, you can gain access to most of the features iDrive is known for like video streaming and in-car gaming, as well as navigation and hands-free phone use.

Since 2018, BMW models have also included the Intelligent Personal Assistant voice control system as an available feature. While older models may have fewer capabilities than a brand-new BMW, it is still ahead of the competition. Depending on the model year, you may also find a pre-owned BMW with the Live Cockpit Pro feature, released in 2018, which digitizes your view of the gauges you see as the driver.

Access to BMW Quality and Dependability

Slightly older models of BMWs have been recognized by J.D. Power for quality and dependability. While it may take time to find certain models in specific years, it’s worth knowing that you can drive an award-winning vehicle from a few years ago.

Multiple BMWs from 2022 were chosen as highest quality in class including the X3, 7 series, 2 series, and X1. The 2019 BMW 4 series was voted most dependable in class, while the 2022 BMW X6 was chosen for best performance in class.

Luxury Vehicle Without the Luxury Price

A brand-new BMW with all the available features requires a luxury budget to pay full price. When you buy used, you access a higher quality vehicle at a lower price, while avoiding maximum depreciation. Take care of your pre-owned BMW, and it will continue to hold its value over the long term while you drive it.
