What are the disadvantages of buying an older, high-spec used BMW?
High-spec models can have more complex electronics, which may be costly to repair. Choosing an approved used BMW from Vertu provides added peace of mind, thanks to our comprehensive warranty and rigorous mechanical checks.
Which used BMW is best to buy second-hand for long-term ownership?
Modern "F" generation models, such as the BMW 3 Series (F30) and 5 Series (F10), are highly regarded for their dependability when paired with a full service history.
Is the technology in older used BMW models still relevant?
Yes. BMW has long been a leader in in-car tech. Features such as satellite navigation, Bluetooth, and advanced driver aids remain useful and up to date, even on models from five to seven years ago.
How much should I budget for a main dealer service on a used BMW?

What's the real-world cost of replacing tyres on a performance used BMW?
High-performance models such as the BMW M3 may require premium tyres, typically costing between £800 and £1,200 for a full set. This is an important factor to consider when budgeting.
Is it worth paying more for an approved used BMW?
Yes. An approved used BMW provides reassurance thanks to a thorough mechanical inspection and comprehensive warranty, helping protect against unexpected repair costs.
