Explore quality used BMW cars for sale at Vertu, from the compact 1 Series and versatile 3 Series to executive 5 Series and 7 Series saloons, the full range of X SUVs, and fully electric i models like the i4 and iX. With petrol, diesel, plug-in hybrid and electric options, plus M performance cars, across the range, there's a used BMW to suit every budget and every kind of driver. Every one is prepared and checked by our colleagues and backed by a 14-day money-back guarantee, with flexible finance and free home delivery available.
BMW built its name on the blend of driving pleasure, premium build and technology, and the used market is where that combination becomes real value. Earlier registrations put a premium BMW within reach of budgets the new price would rule out, across one of the widest model ranges of any brand.
The used BMW line-up at Vertu takes in hatchbacks and saloons, coupes, convertibles and estates, the full run of X SUVs, the fully electric i range, and the M performance cars. Whichever body style and powertrain suits you, there's likely a perfect used BMW waiting.
Every used BMW at Vertu is prepared and checked by our colleagues before it reaches the forecourt, then backed by a 14-day money-back guarantee. If a car isn't right for you, you have a fortnight to exchange it or take a refund.
Flexible finance, including PCP and HP, runs across the used BMW range, and part-exchange lets you put your current car towards the one you're moving to. Wherever you are, a Vertu BMW dealership can help you find it.
Buying used also widens what your budget reaches. The money that buys an entry engine when new can move you up a trim, a powertrain or a whole model class second-hand, with the car already through the steepest part of its depreciation.
A used BMW appeals on three counts: value, a wide choice of models, and the driving quality the brand is known for, all of which carry over to the second owner.
The rewarding drive, premium cabin and technology such as iDrive infotainment make a used BMW satisfying to own, whether you're commuting, covering long motorway miles or carrying the family.
What changes is the price. A year or two of someone else's ownership takes the hardest hit of depreciation, so a used BMW often lands a higher trim, a larger engine, or a step up in model, inside the same budget.
Choice is the other draw. Because BMW covers hatchbacks, saloons, SUVs, EVs and performance cars, the used market carries a broad mix of trims, colours and drivetrains, backed by parts and servicing that are straightforward to source.

*The highlights shown describe the models in general terms. Used examples at Vertu span several model years, so specification, powertrains and features vary by age and trim, and not every fuel type listed was offered in every year. Confirm the details of any specific car with a colleague.
WLTP figures are recorded under controlled laboratory conditions and offer a helpful guide for comparing models, though they may not always reflect real-world driving. Actual range and efficiency will vary with weather, driving style, road conditions, and vehicle load.
BMW's electric cars all wear the "i" badge, and on the used market they cover most of the range. The i4 is effectively an electric 4 Series Gran Coupe, the i5 an electric 5 Series, and the i7 an electric 7 Series, each sharing its body with the petrol and diesel version but powered solely by a battery and electric motor. The iX is BMW's purpose-built electric SUV flagship, while the iX1, iX2 and iX3 are the electric versions of the X1, X2 and X3.
All of these are fully electric with zero tailpipe emissions whilst driving, and plug in to charge at home or at public chargers. The earlier i3 is a smaller, distinctive city EV, offered on some used examples with a small range-extender petrol engine that acts only as a generator. Range, charging speed and equipment vary by model, battery and age, so a colleague can confirm the details of any specific car.
Two badges come up a lot when browsing used BMWs. The M badge denotes BMW's performance division: full M cars like the M3 and M5 are the high-performance versions of the standard models, engineered for pace and sharper handling, while M Sport (found on many ordinary models) is a trim level that adds a sportier look and firmer setup without the full M performance. The XM and Alpina models sit alongside these as standalone performance and luxury-performance choices.
xDrive is BMW's all-wheel-drive system, sending power to all four wheels for extra traction and stability in wet, snowy or slippery conditions. It's available across much of the range, though not fitted to every used car, and whether a specific model has it depends on its engine and trim. A colleague can confirm the setup on any car you're considering.
Buying a used BMW from Vertu means the same checked, prepared car and the same guarantees, whichever dealership you use. Here's what that looks like.
| What We Offer | What It Means for You |
|---|---|
| BMW dealerships across the UK | Colleagues who know the range, from your first enquiry through to handover. |
| Comprehensive multi-point checks | Every used car prepared to the highest standards by our technicians before it reaches the forecourt. |
| 14-day money-back guarantee | A fortnight to change your mind, with an exchange or a refund. |
| Part-exchange accepted | We value your current car and put it towards your used BMW. |
| Tailored finance packages | PCP and HP payment plans arranged around your budget, not a fixed template. |
| Free home delivery up to 30 miles | Your BMW brought to your door at no extra cost (T&Cs apply). |
| Reserve or buy online | Start the purchase from home and buy online, then choose delivery or dealership collection. |
| BMW-trained servicing | Manufacturer-trained colleagues and genuine parts for every service. |
Spreading the cost of a used BMW is straightforward, with two main routes and a part-exchange to put towards either.
Personal Contract Purchase (PCP) keeps monthly payments lower by settling most of the cost at the end. You can then pay the final amount to own the car, hand it back, or part-exchange it for your next one.
Hire Purchase (HP) is the simpler ownership route, with fixed monthly payments and the car yours once the last one clears.
A free, no-obligation valuation tells you what your current car is worth towards the deal, and Vertu will still buy cars that have finance outstanding. For BMW finance figures tailored to you, our finance explained guide sets out the options, and your local dealership can prepare a personalised quotation.
Ready to start? Browse the used BMW stock at Vertu, reserve or buy online, or book an appointment at your nearest dealership to see the range in person. Free home delivery is available up to 30 miles, and every used car carries the 14-day money-back guarantee.
If a brand-new model would suit you better, the new BMW deals cover the current range. Once you've chosen, BMW servicing at Vertu keeps it running with manufacturer-trained colleagues and genuine parts. For prices or a finance quote on any car, contact your local dealership and a colleague will talk you through the options.
Vertu stocks a broad range of used BMW cars, spanning the 1 and 2 Series compacts, the 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 Series saloons, estates and coupes, the Z4 roadster, the full run of X SUVs from the X1 to the X7, the fully electric i range, and M performance models. Availability changes daily as cars arrive and sell, so the live listings show what's in stock now.
Between the everyday models, the SUVs, the electric cars and the performance range, the used BMW line-up covers almost every body style and powertrain. A colleague can help you narrow it down by budget, body style or fuel type.
BMW has a strong reputation for engineering and build quality, and its models perform well when maintained correctly. A car with a full, verifiable service history, like the ones prepared at Vertu, is a dependable choice, and buying approved used adds the reassurance of a multi-point check and warranty.
As with any premium used car, condition and history matter most. Every used BMW at Vertu is inspected and prepared before sale, and a colleague can talk you through a car's service record.
It depends on what you need. The 3 Series is the natural all-rounder, with a rewarding drive and everyday comfort, while the 5 Series steps up to executive space. For families, the X1, X3 and X5 are the popular SUV choices, and buyers after performance may prefer an M model.
If lower running costs matter, the plug-in hybrid and fully electric i models are worth a look. A colleague can match the right model to your budget and driving.
Yes. Vertu stocks used BMW electric cars from the i range, including the i4, i5, i7, iX, iX1, iX2, iX3 and the earlier i3, all fully electric with zero tailpipe emissions whilst driving. Stock depends on what has come through as used, so the live listings show current availability.
Range, charging speed and equipment vary by model, battery and trim, so confirm the details of any specific car with a colleague. Plug-in hybrid versions of several models are also available for drivers who want electric running with a petrol backup.
The M badge denotes BMW's performance division. Full M cars, like the M2, M3, M4 and M5, are the high-performance versions of the standard models, engineered for pace and sharper handling. M Sport, found on many ordinary models, is a trim level that adds a sportier look, larger wheels and a firmer setup without the full M performance, so it gives the M look and feel at lower running costs.
Whether a used BMW is a full M car or an M Sport trim makes a big difference to performance, insurance and running costs, so a colleague can confirm exactly what any car is.
xDrive is BMW's all-wheel-drive system, sending power to all four wheels for extra traction and stability. It helps in wet, snowy or slippery conditions and adds composure when driving enthusiastically. It's available across much of the range, though not fitted to every used car.
Whether a specific used BMW has xDrive depends on its model, engine and trim, so a colleague can confirm the setup on any car you're considering.
Both are premium SUVs, but they suit different needs. The used X3 is a mid-size SUV, easier to park and run while still offering a spacious cabin and a big boot. The used X5 is larger and more luxurious, with more interior space, a more commanding presence and the option of plug-in hybrid power, making it the better choice for bigger families or those who want maximum comfort.
Yes. Vertu offers PCP and HP finance across its used BMW range, and accepts part-exchange towards any car. A free, no-obligation valuation tells you what your current car is worth, and Vertu will still buy vehicles that have finance outstanding to settle.
PCP keeps monthly payments lower with an optional final payment, while HP splits the full cost into fixed payments until the car is yours. For figures tailored to you, our finance explained guide covers each option, and your local dealership can prepare a personalised quotation.
Every used BMW is prepared and checked by Vertu's colleagues before it reaches the forecourt. That includes a full mechanical inspection, bodywork and paint repairs to match the original finish, alloy wheel refurbishment, and a check of the interior and electronics, so each car is ready to drive away.
Vertu also confirms every used car is free of outstanding finance and has never been written off or used as a taxi. Cars are sold with at least six months, or 6,000 miles, before the next service or MOT is due.
