How Does a BMW Courtesy Vehicle Become Available?

At our BMW dealership, selected new BMW models are placed into the courtesy fleet and provided to customers whose vehicles are receiving maintenance or repairs. Once these vehicles have completed their time in service, they are retired from the fleet and offered for sale.

Since the dealership owns and maintains these vehicles throughout their time as loaners, they receive regular care from BMW-trained technicians using genuine BMW parts. That history can provide additional confidence as you explore your options.
