The BMW Performance Delivery


Imports of Florence Performance Driving School Delivery Program

One of the most unforgettable ways to take delivery of your new BMW is at the Performance Center in beautiful South Carolina. When you purchase or lease your new BMW from Imports of Florence, let your Client Advisor know that you're interested in picking it up at the BMW Performance Center. We  will arrange all the details and it costs nothing when you order your new BMW from Imports of Florence!

Your Ultimate Delivery Experience will immerse you in the BMW culture from the moment you arrive in Greenville, South Carolina. When you and a companion arrive at the airport, you will be picked up in a BMW and transported to a first-class hotel. You'll enjoy a delicious dinner for two and an overnight stay that evening, as well as breakfast the next day. The hotel will transport you to the Performance Center to begin the Ultimate Delivery Experience.

During your day you will experience the BMW Manufacturing Tour where you will see first-hand the craftsmanship that makes BMWs world renowned for quality. While at the BMW Manufacturing facility, you will be able to visit the Zentrum and see the history of BMW from airplane engines to James Bond's car to the Hydrogen car.

Your Ultimate Delivery Experience also includes time behind the wheel of a BMW similar to the one you purchased. You'll experience the feel of your new BMW in a special new owner session with a professional instructor. Driving on one of the Performance Driving School courses, you will gain a better understanding and appreciation of the dynamic capabilities of your new BMW. The exercise will also help you develop and refine your ability to communicate between vehicle and road.

It wouldn't be the Ultimate Delivery Experience if we didn't teach you how every button and knob worked! You will spend 2 hours with a product specialist who will teach you everything there is to know about your new BMW. Whether it is iDrive, the radio functions or BMW Assist, the product specialist will make sure you are familiar and comfortable with the vehicle's controls and functions.

BMW Certified Pre Owned Program



BMW Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles

Owning a Certified Pre Owned BMW is its own reward, a driving sensation made even more pleasurable considering BMW's demanding standards and extensive protection benefits. The Certified Pre Owned  title is awarded only to those BMWs which pass meticulous inspection. Once certified they enjoy comprehensive roadside assistance and protection plans.

Every Certified  Pre-Owned BMW is backed by a unique BMW Protection Plan which provides coverage on the vehicle for up to six years and 100,000 miles from the start date of the Manufacturer's New Vehicle Warranty.

the inspection Every car or SAV selected for the Certified Pre-Owned program must go through a rigorous inspection process. Everything from engine performance to the operation of the glovebox light is checked. All scheduled maintenance is brought up to date. If something isn't working properly or up to standards, it's repaired or replaced.

the warranty When you acquire a Certified Pre-Owned BMW, your vehicle will be covered by a 2-year/50,000-mile Certified Pre-Owned BMW Limited Warranty. This warranty is over and above BMW's 4-year/50,000-mile New Vehicle Warranty.* That means your Certified Pre-Owned vehicle is covered for up to 6 years/100,000 miles. The CPO limitd warranty covers a wide range of vehicle components, including the engine, powertrain, electrical system, suspension, climate control and more.*

The Certified Pre-Owned BMW Limited Warranty is administered by MBW of North America, LLC, which ensures that covered repairs are performed by BMW trained Technicians using only genuine BMW replacement parts. And, since this is a BMW program, you won't have to wait for a third-party adjuster to decide whether your repair is covered; your BMW center can make the determination right on the spot.

roadside assistance Sometimes things happen when you're out there on the road. That's why every Certified Pre-Owned BMW comes with BMW Roadside Assistance coverage for 2 years or 50,000 miles (whichever comes first).** It doesn't matter where you are in the United States, or what time of the day it is, or what day of the year it is - the BMW Roadside Assistance program ensures that you get help with a single toll-free call.


the warranty


the plan The BMW Protection Plan was designed to give you peace of mind. We want you to drive away in your Certified Pre-Owned BMW happy and carefree, knowing that your vehicle is in the best possible condition, and that, if you need us out on the road, we're here to help you.

BMW Finanical Services Ranks Highest in Luxury Lease


BMW Financial Services of North America, LLC (BMW FS) ranked highest in satisfaction with initial consumer leases for luxury nameplates in the J.D. Power and Associates Consumer Financing Satisfaction Study.

The top ranking in this study marks the first time * BMW Financial Services has received the highest ranking in this important segment and reflects a 47 index point increase that takes it from seventh to first place. BMW Financial Services is the first financing provider to attain top ranking in both Retail Leasing Satisfaction in the J.D. Power and Associates Dealer Financing Satisfaction and Luxury Lease Satisfaction in the Consumer Financing studies in the same year.

“While competitive financial offerings are an important factor in consumer satisfaction, consumers are seeking more from their finance providers. Being recognized in both the Dealer and Consumer studies speaks to the importance we place on the three critical elements of success in business; the dealer customer, retail owner and the manufacturer all having the same expectation of peak performance. Consumers expect competent and courteous finance staff at the dealership, complimented by efficient servicing of their contract for the life of the loan, including accurate billing and prompt attention to questions and concerns,” said Edward A. Robinson, President and Chief Executive Officer of BMW Financial Services, Americas Region.
